Chris, I hope you will carefully read what AJ has posted in response to your message, because I believe it makes a great deal of good sense. Best wishes, Bob.

I wonder if you could give me some advice.
>I am 24 years old and have an acute sexual "problem" which I really need to sort out. I have trouble retracting my foreskin past the tip of my penis, and when I try to force it, it can be quite painful, although with plenty of lubricant it is just about retractable. It is therefore "close", and I am hoping that there will be a solution other than surgery. I have heard that steroid creams are available and can be successful.
>Obviously, I am reluctant to see a doctor in person, as it is a slightly embarrasing problem, although I am determined to remedy the problem asap.
>Although the problem may seem minor, it has had an impact on my sex life, and is affecting my confidence. Basically, sex without a condom is uncomfortable but not impossible. Sex with a condom is impossible, as it is agony trying to put a condom on. Also, any girlfriend handling my penis, I am not comfortable about because they have to be so careful and gentle, that I cannot relax, and often lose any erection.
>Well, I have bared all so to speak, so any feedback would be much appreciated, and any suggested course of action could have quite an impact on my life. It would be great to feel comfortable dating a girl knowing that when the time came, I can put on a comdom and enjoy a healthy sex life.
>Many thanks.
