Hi,I am 20 years old and about 6-7 months ago I came to know that an adult foreskin is supposed to retract behind the glans (I am yet to have my first intercouse). I found these forums and tried stretching exercises.Got much success, and I am now able to retract it behind the glans when flaccid (not beyond the ridge of the head though). I am having trouble doing it in erect position and it has been more than one and a half months, no progress at all even though I stretch regularly (I do that in warm water, but no lubrication). I can retract it somehow when it is soaked in hot water and not normally. What should I do now? Spend more time in doing it? Or do i have to go for operation ultimately? Please help!

No progress

Hey man - keep working! Sometimes it takes a while for real change to take place. Work with that skin everytime you get the chance. Keep us posted....

I am in your position myself and have been doing the whole stretching thing for ages but i'm not consistent because i'm soo tired by the time i go to bed and even more tired in the morning.

Hey, thanks. I was getting kind of frustrated because the opening wont get any bigger. Also, due to stretching, a portion of the foreskin (nearby the frenulum) has become very thin which I can see when I move my fingers apart after inserting them in the opening. I feel as if it is going to tear! Should I use some lubrication? It creates a lot of smegma.

You haven't described how you are doing the stretching. Erect/flaccid? Pulling/retracting? Give us some info besides... "no progress".

LOL.. Okay, when I started it was usual..pulling the foreskin backwards as far as possible and did this when penis is flaccid. With time, the opening became larger and then I tried "insert fingers and pull apart" thing. A few weeks ago I started doing this with my penis erect, but it is harder to maintain erection thereafter because I concentrate on the stretching. Hope it helps.

OK .. well you really haven't been doing this for too long. You mention a few weeks ago you started retracting with an erection. You need more time. It doesn't help that you got such a late start. I would still recommed retracting with an erection. Instead of concentrating on teh stretching part, make it a part of masturbating. You can also clamp down on the base of the penis trapping blood in the head making it larger. Pulling back when the head is larger accentuates the stretch.

Thanks, sdp. "clamp down on the base of the penis"-you mean tense the PC muscle, right? I do it very often when my penis is erect. Stretching with masturbation is a good idea.

Clamp down, as in, use your hand to squeeze the base. You will find that the rigidity and girth will be maximized.
