>Thanks for the advice. It feels weird mentally wanting to retract my foreskin because i've always had it covering my glands. When i do it looks weird as if i am not looking at my own penis. Is it ok that my glands are extrmemly sensitive which once touched seem painful.

Yes, I'm sure it will seem rather strange at first. It's also not that surprising that the glans is so sensitive to touch - it's not used to it after all! But if you persevere with getting the glans used to the open air, so to speak, it will get accustomed to the exposure. I'm not suggesting you actively try to desensitise it - you might do some damage! The foreskin is there so that when you *do* need your penis to be sensitive and responsive to touch it can be ;-D I.e. it hasn't lost sensation from over-exposure.

Not only that, it is important to wash under your foreskin regularly with warm water to keep things clean and smelling nice.

Hope that helps

Richard
