Unable to pull back foreskin completely while erect

[Polyphasic]

I am a healthy 17 year old male. I am an early bloomer and used to masturbate even before I hit puberty too! I usually don't pull back my foreskin while masturbating but years later, I discovered I am unable to do so. Aftera lot of googling I presume that I either have phymosis or a small/tight frenulus. While I am comfortably able to pull back the foreskin while flaccid( Image: imgbox.com/tBF9bw8U ) , it comes only halfway while I am erect ( Image: imgbox.com/E0TGPxmp ) . Please give me the correct way to approach this.

Stretching won't help much if your frenulum is too short (frenulum breve). You better let it checked by a doctor.

That’s nonsense. The frenulum responds to tension exactly in the same manner as the frenar band.

[timmyboy20 in reply to jimfromcalif]

It won't help if the frenulum is too short. That's a fact.

Timmy, you do not know what you're talking about. If human tissue did not respond to tension applied, people would never get as fat as some of them are. Please sit back and learn something from the experts.

Even if it is phimosis it doesn't seem to be a serious case of it. As far as approach, it is hard to say as you did not mention what kind of "discomfort" if any at all you experience. Does it hurt when you try to pull it over around the ring, or does it hurt at the bottom where the frenulum is ? That can indicate whether its a foreskin problem or a frenulum problem.

Best thing to do is visit your urologist and go over your options with him. It might not need circumcision at all and stretching might work, but only your doctor can give you the best options after your are properly examined. You don't have to decide there and then, you can also get a second opinion. No one can force you into anything and its only your decision to make, but it is best to get as much info as possible to make the right one.

Good luck.

Please desist from criticizing those with knowledge of non-invasive cures.

Actually I guess circumsion is not even an option for me as my glan is really sensitive. Even using a finger to touch the glan or my underwear's soft fabric touching it and taking it away make me feel uncomfortable. So according to you, I must manually stretch the top of foreskin to promote expansion right? Thank You! I will update later in a week or so.

[Polyphasic]

Thank you! But won't applying oil cause any infection or anything like that. I have a sensitive glan too! Anyway, I will try the stretching exercise!

[jimfromcalif in reply to Polyphasic]

Coconut oil is beneficial because it helps to prevent yeast infections.

As you see in the second erect picture, I am unable to pull it back without hurting my foreskin. Also, according to then picture is my frenulum placed abnormally high?

At willywellbeing.com you can get detailed explanation of simple exercises which will permanently cure the tightness. You’re already more than half-way to the goal.

i had severe phimosis to the point where I couldn't pull back when flaccid. Im 100% against circumcision so I started using flesh tunnels that cost like £/$2-3 each and 3 ish months in and im nearly able to pull back all the way when erect (I probably could but im scared of paraphimosis) I don't use any cream, all it is is commitment. I'm 19 so it's not even about it not being mature or whatever, anyone can do it

I am 15 years old and was slightly worried that my foreskin doesn't retract at all but have found this very helpful. I will do the stretches and hope that this works. thanks guys
