Wow. That's scary that so many doctors didn't know what they were talking about. I had a similar problem with my own doctor and had to see a specialist to get a diagnosis of the problem. I was in a much similar position to you just over two years ago. I had tight foreskin and frenulum and couldn't retract either. After reading that "stretching" the foreskin would help it retract, I "stretched" for a few months, but it didn't work. It wasn't until I'd wasted that time "stretching" that I learnt that while it might work in some cases, it does not in all. I eventually ended up at a specialist and he did a quick examination and deteremined the problem. From there I went on to have a partial circumcision, and later the frenulum removed. To read a more detailed account of my history with this condition, please check out my Circumcision FAQ.

Obviously, like you, the head of my penis had barely seen the light of day and post partial-circ was hyper sensitive/painful because of this lack of exposure. However, after a couple of weeks of discomfort in regards to the sensitivity issue, I found that it gradually became tolerable and pleasurable - in the sexual way that one expects from a penis.

I hope that this perhaps gives you a more considered perspective. If you have any questions or whatever, just ask.

All the best.
