Hai Paul,
Thanx once again for your prompt response. I would like to get an answer for the other doubt which was there in the mail

ie,a ring like thing just behind my glans. It doesn't give me any pain or discomfort but when fully erect sometimes I feel a bit of pressure inside my glans and I think that the glans have swollen a bit more when erect. The foreskin I am able to retract back fully but that ring has gone to the front of inner foreskin when retracted. What I understood from the site is that it should be on the middle of inner and outer skin - Isn't it?.

I would be really thankful if you could give me a suggestion on this..
Thanking you once again.
Regards,
Hari
