mike,

i had almost exactly the same feeling after using betamethasone cream when my skin was still loosening. the trick is to keep at it. eventually, it gets looser and looser and it won't get stuck around the base of the glans. use some lube too...it helps a great deal.

for me, its been about 5 months since i discovered the actual penis underneath my foreskin. when pulling back (erect), it still takes a little bit of pressure to get the skin to go back up, but it doesn't get stuck like a tight ring any more. the only problem i have now (if anybody has any suggestions that would be great) is that when i pull back the skin, about 3/4 of the way down, its a little dry + sticky and starts to curl up upon itself (like rolling a rubber band off a poster). lube helps, but its a pain in the butt. my head is still pretty sensitive (but no where near what it was at the beginning, now i can actually enjoy touching it sometimes...

need help, contact me...i'd love some j/o advice from others in the same situation too...thx

>I'm a 22 year-old man.
>Up to exactly a year ago, I hadn't seen any part of the head of my penis AT ALL, due to an extremely tight ring around the end of my foreskin. Even in full erection, the head was completely covered. My seeing of it occured purely by accident. After some very vigorous sex, my girlfriend pulled off the condom. To my utter shock, the friction inside the condom had caused the entire foreskin to somehow retract completely below the head. It was a revolutionary moment.
>I decided to leave it like that. I went to sleep with utmost pain and discomfort due to an extremely sensitive head. I woke up in the morning, and after painfully attempting to shower I decided I had to slide the skin back on. Besides, it was beginning to look rather scary to me. So I tugged and pulled and eventually uprooted the ring of foreskin around the base and slid it back up.
>Since then I tried pulling it back a few times during urination in order to try to stretch it, but After just a few tries I couldn't bring myself to do it. It scares me too much!!
>It scared me, though. After a lot of research and reading, i discovered that i have phimosis.
>Someone please tell me what to do.
>- It hurts like crazy trying to retract the foreskin; it feels like a tight ring around the middle of the head.
>- I panic thinking maybe it will be too tight to put back into place if I succeed. Also, I panic because the head looks so odd to me; it looks like flesh that should not be exposed; like looking at your liver or something.
>- When my head is exposed; even just a little, it's extremely, extremely sensitive. Having it touch something is blindingly sensitive; even having it exposed in the air alone is enough to make me cringe; i can feel the small movements of air on the surface of my head! It's so sensitive that I pretty much think I'll never be able to have sex without a condom, because of the constant moving and friction inside the vagina.
>- I've never cleaned the inside or underside of my foreskin. Just thinking about that makes me cringe and squeeze my knees together! I just CANT touch the head. Especially after having an orgasm, and even more after getting head; the head becomes even more sensitive then it normally is - I can't even clean it then.
>Now, especially when I get head, the skin slides naturally about three-quarters of the way down. After head, however, because everything dries the ring around my penis tightens and dries there and I have to pull the sides of my foreskin apart to unloosen it and then drag it slowly up the length of the head (imagine my grimacing discomfort).
>How do I get my foreskin very loose And sstop it from being so sensitive?
>Sorry for the long message,
