foreskin

[theman89]

i have tight foreskin and I've been stretching but nothing seems to be happening... any ideas?

Why do you want to stretch it? Have you asked your physician about it?

Just pull the foreskin down over the head of your pee pee and tie it with a twisty tie. Then you won't need a condom!!!

If you tie it real tight you won't have to worry much about it later on in life.

no like whenever i get erect, the foreskin doesn't go down to where the head is exposed... on other sites it says to stretch and what not but its not working!

You need to talk to your doctor. If there is indeed a problem, s/he may prescribe a steroid cream to thin the skin of the problem area just enough to allow it to stretch/retract comfortably. There are other options, as well, but that along with stretching is the most common treatment.

Don't let a doc cut or circumcise you without getting at least one more opinion and reading up on the subject thoroughly. While making a small nick in the skin that's attached under local anesthesia after steroid cream and stretching have failed may be common and the best course of action, circumcision should be used as a last resort because it's very painful and robs the person of a lot of sensation.

Just wanted to echo Sweet Erika's post. Please don't listen to people who will try to use this as a reason to amputate the most sensitive part of your penis!

Do see the doctor, talk to them about options, and a steroid cream is commonly helpful in these cases. If the doc's first words are "Looks like we'll have to have you circumcised" then you should get the heck out of there and find a doctor who doesn't jump to amputate.

You've got some good advice there. Don't get scared and avoid the doctor. A foreskin that doesn't retract is more prone to infection as bacteria thrive in the warm, moist area between your foreskin and your cock. You're also more prone to urine tract infections and prostate problems. For a long and happy sexlife I strongly advise you to bite the bullet and get it checked out.

People have reported having a fine sex life and no problems with a non-retractable foreskin. So thgere is no immediate need for intervention ujnless it is bothering you. Take your time and do some research. Checking with a doctor can be helpful, but be aware that most no nothing about the function and value of a foreskin, so are far too quick to suggest circumcision.

Steroid creams usually work according to the medical literature. there are devices and techniques to stretch the opening mechanically as well, including simply masturbating. I would exhaust all other possibiliites before considering circumcision.

Best wishes, and remember:

Sex circumcised vs with your normal penis has been comparted to B&W vs Color TV, and one guy who has experienced all 3 conditions said

sex with a normal penis = 10
sex circ'd = 3
sex restored = 7
