>I have always had a tight foreskin which i have tried stretching i can now get it all the way back now when im hard which i couldnt before but my cock looks like an hourglass a bit!! if i continue to keep stretching will this sort it out or am i looking at a circ?

The key thing is to be patient. From your description it sounds like you've come a long way (so to speak), but when you say "all the way back" do you mean you can expose the glans *fully*? A 'normal' foreskin should pull (gently!) right back so that the little circle of skin around the shaft below the glans is visible too. Paul B. posted a link to some helpful photos a while back. Have a look and compare your progress so far.

When I was doing the stretching thing, there were definitely two phases, one of getting the opening of the foreskin to stretch over the glans and the second of stretching the frenulum so that the foreskin is able to retract as far as I've described. The key thing is patience. Don't expect a miracle cure, you have to take your time to stretch what is after all a pretty delicate bit of flesh!
