As an answer to: my story written by lerac at 02 Oct 2004 03:19:36:

>i lost my virginity at 18, to a one night stand. at this point i thought my penis was normal, thinking back i can't remember if i had phimosis or not. but i do know that i never really forced the foreskin all the way down. but for instance when masterbating, i felt no pain or discomfort doing so.
>that was a year ago this month, now move to last christmas, around november time, i remember trying to masterbate, but it was mroe difficult, and the foreskin wouldn't retract properly. and so i started to force it, then it ripped and scarred and bled. i was distraught and didn't know what was happening.i thought to leave it alone, hopefully it would disappear and get better. it didn't.
>more ripping, the rips would last for a few days then disappear. i was at university living by myself, and went home for xmas. i thought about ringing my doctor, but couldnt build up the courage. so i searched on the internet for any information. and found this place. i spent aklot of time reading this and other sources, and thought i would try the home remedy of stretching. this had some effect, but no matter how well i did, it would always go back to the beginning with masterbation or sometimes i would just wake up and it would be back to extreme tightness.
>so i went back to uni and thought about calling in to see this doctor, but agian put it off. still tried the stretching which worked well, but would just revert back again.
>back home again for easter, i mananged to build up the courage to ring my doctor, only to find he was on holiday for 2 weeks, and i chose not to see the temp.
>now after easter back at uni i managed to find myself a gf. getting to know her, we didn't have sex. most;y because i was scared of her seeing my penis, and the tightness of the foreskin, i don't think i could have had sex.
>fast forward to this summer, went on holiday to france, in touch with gf by phone, we exchanged some risque txt, which scared me because i knew we would hav to have sex soon. but my foreskin was also getting better, with retracting becomeing easier but still nowhere near fully able.
>get back to uni about the 20th last month. i had sex once, i didn't ejaculate, and it hurt, second time same story, only this time, the next morning to my horror, i had cuts and bleeding and it was back to very tight again.
>knowing that i wouldnt see my gf for about 5 days, i decided to build up the courage to see my doctor. i got there, and he was also away, and another one replaced him. sitting in the waiting room was one of the most nerve-wrecking things i have ever done. i was jittery when they called my name out, and walking into the doctors room my legs were jelly and i could barely speak.
>i said "my foreskin is very tight and it wont retract". he replied quite emotionlessly, "ok let me have a look". which was crazy for him to say it liek that i thought. here is me afraidf to come to the doctors for almost a year, and he tells me to pull my trousers and boxers down without a second thought!
>well anyway he looked at it, and said to try this cream 30G Hydrocortisone+Miconazole ointment 3 times a day. and if it doesnt work, come back and book to get a circumcision date.
>well that was exactly 12 days ago. in that time i have applied this cream while stretching. and the results have been simply amazing. i can now fully retract the foreskin when erect, and there is none of the hourglass effect at all. my penis works!!
>i had sex with my gf when she came to see me, and it was brilliant. i am still applying the cream out of fear the forskin won't stay like this, but right now i couldn't be happier.
>so all i can say to people out there is, go and see your doctor as soon as possible, they really don't think twice about it. iwish i had gone as soon as i noticed a problem, i would have felt liek this so much earlier.
>i'd just like to thank all hte people who post hjere too,you guys gave me the confidence and resources to go to my doctor and finally get it sorted out.
Did you happen to start washing under your foreskin more vigourously after the one night stand, using soap or perhaps something stronger, like detergent? Many people feel very dirty after their first time, especially if it's not with a long-time love. The reaction is often to try to wash away the taint. And if she was a hooker (by whatever name she went), then the tendency is just that much stronger. But most of those things are bad on mucus tissues, such as the inner foreskin - they can cause it to dry and crack. Also they kill bacteria - friendly along with bad ones - which allows yeast to grow rampant. Under the foreskin only needs a thorough rinsing with clean water. Such rinsing along with typical sexual use will keep it quite adequately clean.
