If you don't try it, it won't work. Steroid creams vastly improve the success rates of stretching.

What's the point of living if you can't have sex? Some people can't have sex because they don't have a penis or are heavily scarred by burns or deformed or injured in car accidents. Some people get depressed about it, some people live their life and are happy, regardless. But you are not one of those people. You have plenty of options that will resolve your problem and allow you to have normal sex. It probably just seems a bit of a downer in the here and now.
>In the UK, a circumcised penis is not the norm and I fear that I would be laughed at even more if anyone saw me.
While circumcision in the UK is not as common as it is in some other countries, there are plenty of blokes that are circumcised. It's also not something that people generally laugh about (when was the last time you heard anyone outside of childish kids making fun of someone's penis?) A guy's penis is his penis and if some idiot is having a joke about your dick, then I'd question why he is so busy staring at your willy in the first place! Also, most guys don't go showing off their dicks to everyone they meet. That'd be just weird. Seriously, it's a non-issue.
Also, if you have pinhole phimosis you might find that a partial circumcision would be a possible alternative to a full circumcision, if you decide to go the surgical route to resolve your problem.
Good luck.
