>Hi, I'm 14 years old. I have an uncircumsized penis and it hurts whenever I touch the flesh of the glans. I've gathered that touching the glans shouldn't cause any pain, and I also have a skin bridge around my frenulum. The skin bridge isn't the problem, but is there a way to toughen the glans so it doesn't inflict pain when probed?
As usual, Ral's hit the matter on the head. I remember when I was a little younger than you and I could barely stand to wash my glans because of the sensitivity. That painfulness went away before long, but I still did not like touching it directly. You may think that you need to touch the glans to masturbate, but very few intact boys do it that way. Instead we grasp the foreskin and move it up and down, primarily back and forth over the glans. Most especially like putting pressure where the skin passes over the frenulum. NEVER imitate anything about penile care and handling that comes from the cut boys - it's like a Ferrari owner imitating a lawn mower repairman.
