>A second, and I believe a much more serious problem I have is my foreskin cannot be retracted further than about halfway along the glans - it seems my forskin is still attatched to the underside of the glans by a length of skin. Not sure how to describe it more accurately. I am 17 years of age by the way.
>>The bit you describe is the frenulum, and is present in most intact males. So, that’s nothing unusual that you too have it.

Ok, I'm very confused. After some reading I found out that indeed what I described is the frenulum and is supposed to be there, but I'm aware of the fact that healthy males can retract their foreskin to the base of the penis. If they all also have a frenulum, how can they do this??

>Also, I heard that a deficiency of a certain vitamin can cause problems with the development of the reproductive system. If so, could this be the cause of my problem? And could recieving doses of the vitamin be an alternative to surgery?
>>I haven’t head of this, which vitamin might that be? But more to the point, do you notice anything else that you’d consider “underdeveloped” on your bits? If you don’t, I say it’s unlikely you’re having this problem (but then, I’m not quiiiite sure if it’s not a hoax, you see…)

Hoax? What do you mean?
