Tight foreskin (17)

Hey I'm 17 years old almost 18

And I can't fully retract my foreskin

When erect I can pull it back to a certain limit where I can see the tip of the head bulging out but the foreskin gets tight there after I've been stretching my foreskin in the shower for a week now

Should I try anything else or continue what I'm doing

My girlfriend doesn't think it's too big of a problem

But not able to retract the skin fully

Has brought my self-esteem down

I used to be the same as you. I never pulled mine back till I was about 20 but I used to pull it back while I was in the bath fully relaxed. I'd suggest just try pulling it back every day to start stretching the skin but if nothing happens I'd go see the doctor

I would consider a full circumcision. Find the best place and go for it. You will never look back

Contact the charity 15 Square. This is a charity run by to help solve problems with the foreskin without resorting to circumcision. Their doctors can advise you online.

Do not listen to any of these anti circumcision bunch of nonsense. Just go cut and it will be awesome

I wont tell the user what to do, since there are options. Option 1, masturbate and stretch the forskin daily. 75% of men admit to masturbating.. the other 25% are liars. We all do it, but many are uncomfortable talking about it. Option2, see a doctor, maybe a small cut in the foreskin will do the job. Option 3 get circumcised. advantages are easier to clean so less chance of infection and a lot of women find uncut men gross (no idea why, have to ask them) and the ultimate bonus.. a lot of women go nuts sucking a circumcised penis, and will actually orgasm while doing oral.

Anyway.. there's a few options

Don’t even think of circumcision. Go to willywellbeing.com to learn exactly how to fix it permanently without surgery.

Hey I’m 16 and I had the same thing as you and, not to alarm you, I went to a general doctor and a surgeon and they both said circumcision would be the best so I got circumcised about a month ago now and everything’s fine. For the first week it’s pretty shit and uncomfortable but it gets better from there. And now after a month everything’s back to normal and even better to be honest, cleaning is much easier and masturbation feels nicer. So personally, I would think about getting a circumcision.

Wait until you get a yeast infection.... you will be begging to get operated on. You rub and scratch your wiener until the skin wear off and the itching/burning won't stop... until you get treatment.. and yes, yeast infections are more common in uncut men.

As long as you clean it you wont get a yeast infection. So why would you say that. The only way he would find out if if he didn't clean it? Make it sound like foreskin is a crime
