Is my condition termed as Phimosis?!

---

Hey all. I just joined as a member in this forum today.. I had read through some postings in the forums. But i still have some doubts.I'm 17 years old this year. It was after some weeks ago then i discovered that foreskins are fully retractable when erect. I'm damn worried about it and thinking for days. I'm currently having my National Exams which is extremely important. But this really upset me. I keep thinking that i wouldn't be able to enjoy as when it is quite pain when i pull my foreskin down WHEN erected. However, surprisingly, i have no pain AT ALL in urinating, masturbating, or even girl(those gentle ones)when they did blow-job for me.My foreskin can be retracted manually and glans are exposed when flaccid. However, this doesn't occurs when my penis is erected. IS MY CONDITION TERMED AS PHIMOSIS? I'm really afraid. I start searching sites for info. It only made me more worried. UNTIL I CAME INTO THIS PARTICULAR FORUM, i was almost cooled down. I will START my stretching later, hopefully my foreskin can be fully retractable when erected after some time.. I would appreciate all advices asap because i don't want these to affect my mood for studying..! Thanks all in advance!

Welcome to A2A bud. Stop worrying, what you're experiencing sounds pretty normal to me, I'm uncut too so I understand. Can you retract your foreskin at all when erect? The pain you experience, where is it? In the foreskin or with the frenulum, that small piece of skin attaching it to the underside of the head of your penis? Lets keep talking about this, give us a bit more information and we can help you with make this all better, no need to worry.

Hey lance. thanks for your response! the penis can't retract its own or manually. Manually is like forcing the foreskin down to the glans there. I'm experiencing pain in my foreskin when i did that when it is fully erected. I suppose my foreskin is tight and long. However, it did not cover all my glans when fully erected. So what should i do? I just tried the streching method. Hope it helps after a period of time. I don't wan to be circumsized. )=

Phimosis is more of a condition where it is so tight that it can't be retracted even when flaccid. Keep up the stretching. It may take a whle but you'll get there.

Thanks sdp for your response. Haha! I see. I will do more stretching. I found out that my glans are super sensitive. So what I need to do is rub the fully-exposed (when i pull back my foreskin manually when flaccid) glans (to make it less-sensitive) a little bit everyday for a couple of mins? I hope it helps! Thanks all for your response! =P

Yes, the glans needs contact to desensitize. Do it with the glans wet or with a lubricant.I'm really surprised by the guys who find out in their late teens or 20's that the forskin is supposed to be retracted. I never had any sex ed nor did anyone ever tell me that it was meant to be retracted. I just remember as a kid, checking things out, curiosity I guess. But it seemed natural to pull it back and then later with erection to pull back also. I guess you guys just weren't curious enough.

Haha thanks for your response. I believed there are still alot of teens out there didn't know that they are supposed to retract their foreskin because their foreskin auto retracts when they had an erection, while mine not. I wouldn't say that you are wrong as everyone has their own views. Haha. Alright. Lets cut all these sharp talks that might hurt each other. Thanks! I will do my stretching and see how it goes. Thanks again!

It's not a criticism or meant to be negative. It's just an observation. Like I said, I found out everything on my own and there was no internet when I was growing up. I just think there are guys who don't play with their forskin very much at the puberty stage, hence the forskin doesn't get stretched as the penis growth takes place.

I'll bet the forskin doesn't "auto-retract" as much as you think.

In the U.S., health education in school is deficient. I don't think anything is ever mentioned about uncircumcised penis care, in most cases.

I went to school in the U.S. and I never heard the subject of it brought up.
actually I was at an orgy in my early 20's before I ever knew there was such a thing as an uncut wang. I figured the poor bastard had some disease or something and I had my first orgy experience ruined fro fear and I had to leave.
That would have been in the first half of the 90's.
I dont know if they teach anything on it now or not.

Hey all. Thanks for all your response. However, I've some doubts. What are lubricants exactly used for? To provide frictions while doing sex if the girl's vagina is fairly dry? Please enlighten me. Thanks =P

And wow. My glans are super highly sensitive.

Thats exactly what lube is for, also can be used while masturbating to lessen the friction and enhance the experience! THe head of your penis is going to be really sensitive for a while, the more you touch it, rub it and expose it to direct stimulation...the less sensitive it will be!

Haha okay. Hey lance, you live in U.S ? Are most of the guys there circumsized when they are borned? Is it a law or what? Or optional?

Lube reduces friction.A majority of males are circumcised at birth in the US. It's not a law, its just something that became a custom although it is dropping depending on where you live.

I see. Thanks sdp. Haha.

sorry but just to ask, must i rub the whole exposed glans or juz some part of it to reduce the sensitivity.

try putting it under the water spray during bathing first.. for about 5-15 mins.. do this everyday.. rub all parts! remember that the glans are highly sensitive as it stays covered for most of the time!

oh ok.. so does ur glans feels more comfortable now or is it still very sensitive.how long have u tried it?

Sorry late reply. I just came back from a movie named Exocism Of Emily Rose. Its a nice show! Yea, at least i'm not afraid to touch my glans now. Its still highly sensitive, but not as before. I tried for 30 minutes yesterday, under water spray while bathing. However, please don't expect instant result! As everyone differs. So I hope you will be constant all the way. I am going to do that again, later. Good luck. We had just begun our journey to success!
