Foreskin Question

---

Hi guys,

I'm worried about my foreskin - I can never stretch it all the way back when fully erect - it hurts.

Flaccid/semi erect is no problem but not fully. If I pull it back when I am flaccid then get erect it is possible but painful.

I'm trying stretching - does anyone have any tips? I just have a shower to get things loosened up and use baby oil.

I've noticed it has been itching a bit lately - does this mean its healing because I am doing something wrong, or the feel of new skin growing?

Please let me know anything you may have to say, I really don't want to be circumised, I like the feel of my 'skin. :scream_cat:

Hey, yeah, thanks for all the replies I know this post is similar to a lot of others but if they answered my questions I wouldn't gave posted would I?Another thing, how long should I stretch for once I've had a bath/shower? Can someone answer this itching question, I'm worried that I've stretched too hard and that itching is the feel of it healing - and scars forming

i cant help ya at all there mate coz i hav the same problem - im just letting you know someone visits these forums

The thread titled "male anatomy" right in this forum will explain everything.

With regards to stretching...are we talking about the actual hole at the end of the penis? Or the 'ridged band' of 'elasticated' skin that (in my case) is just under the glans when erect? This part is also tight on me, is it possible to stretch this as well? Will steroid cream help with this, given that it's not 'normal' skin (Well I don't think so anyway)I've also noticed sometimes it is easy for me to retarct even when erect and other times it is difficult...weird.This thing should come with an instruction manual Any and all advice welcome, thanks.

Hmm, im also a foreskin guy. Im 28. I think that your problem of being able to pull your foreskin back will go away with time. Im curious how old you are? I think by the time I was in highschool I was able to pull it back all the way without any pain. As far as the itching goes, it does not sound like anything serious. Just make sure you wash properly when you shower. I have had only one infection when I went camping for 2 weeks and did not shower for a week. After I showered, the itching/rash went away in like 2 days. Good luck with your dick problem :smile: he he heee...

Why does it need to come all the way back when you have an erection? If it doesn't feel good don't do it. ? I can't say I know that much on the matter. I've only been with one guy that was uncircumcised. And it was just a few quickies & BJs. And, I didn't have my son done but the hole was the size of a pencil lead so when he was 5 he got a trim. He was a real trooper about it. And I wasn't playin' with it enough to know about that matter anyway. lol

Hi, sorry for the long delay!

I'm 19. I don't think I've got it too bad as it is easy to retract most of the time. The thing is, it seems to almost adjust but never enough! When I'm not erect and go for a pee, when I'm done I'll give it a shake etc :blush: and pull the skin back and when it goes back it makes a kind of pop sound! It's not painful or anything, it just feels like its
not quite loose enough.

Has anyone had any experience of stretching by having a shower instead of a bath? I'm not the greatest fan of baths but if that's the only way to do it I guess I have no choice. I don't want to be circumised that's for sure, I like the feel of my 'skin!

As for washing, it's been washed inside and out :wink: for as long as I can remember.

And in response to last comment - thanks! :laughing:

OK I seem to be having some success, but I have some questions.- Is this something I will have to live with as long as i'm sexually active? Or once it's stretched is it sorted? I've heard both. Perhaps some guys who have had success can comment.- Does leaving the skin back overnight help? I have done, but sometime it starts to feel weird, almost like an achey pins and needles feeling. Again, some advice would be great.- Do I need to be fully erect? I can manage approx 85% but iit's hard to achieve a storming boner when you're trying to stretch! When I've had a shower it's OK, but if I haven't it can be still quite hard to stretch - do you think there is a problem with the actually elasticity of the 'elastic band'? I hope not...And finally, when does the 'head' become less sensitive?Masterbating with the skin retracted is very, very odd to me. The feelings are so intense. I can get aroused with it like that, but I cannot cum. I have to pop the skin back to that, then as i'm about to, pull it back again and VERY, VERY gently touch the head. The feelings are very intense! i'm talking laying in bed shaking and jerking!! Not unpleasnt, just hard to deal with.Please, any advise at all would be great.Thanks.

Keep streching. I at one time could not pull back my foreskin over the head of the penis at all but now I can. It can be uncomfortable but when you have the opportunity give it a stretch. You dont have to sleep with it back why suffer. the sensitivity is great and you will learn to cope with it. I think the bath / shower is best place to really work at your penis as foreskin naturally loosens up. Do it when your hard or soft and remember its not a race - give it time, everything is normal with you.

Thanks mate!! By the way, good to see another UK bod on here, i'm in Surrey! What was your method to get your 'skin fully functional? Don't go into too much detail if you don't want too, I'm just very unsure! Did you bath or shower? Thanks for posting mate

I have posted a response to your private mail, too long to put on board, stretch it gently
