> i think to begin with i had exactly the same problems as joe has - phimosis with a short frenulum . a weeks' hard work of stretching resolved the relative phimosis (with the help of a steroid cream) but hasnt done much to relieve the short frenulum. but whats more distressing is the 1. HYPERSENSITIVE glans (ouch!) and 2) the folds of skin which retract behind the glans and tends to stay there unless manually pushed forward again.
> is there a solution to these problems ? does the hypersensitivity wear off with time ? and will the folds of skin 'learn ' to slide back over the glans ?


The sensitivity is something you realy don't want to loose a whole lot of, because of the sexual enjoyment factor durring intrecourse. However if you find yourself to be too sensitive to fully enjoy sexual intercourse, leaving the glans exposed for long periods of time will decrease sensitivity to a point more tolerable. You could also attempt to use a condom as a sort of 'insulator'.

Radial stretching of the foreskin will eventualy allow the skin to more freely move back and forth over the glans. This process may take a few months or more depending on the initial tightness of your foreskin, but it will correct the problem in time.
