>I am 23 years old from the UK and my foreskin is severely tight. In fact, I have never seen anything of my penis glans! Clearly I have a condition called phimosis, which is a very rare condition even in its loosest form, let alone the so-called ‘pinhole’ phimosis that I have.
>The ‘hole’ at the tip of my foreskin - out of which the glans should appear - is no larger than the size of a pea when erect, and when flaccid there is virtually no opening at all! Needless to say, stretching is not going to do anything for a phimosis of that severity. I also highly doubt that steroid creams will prove sufficient. I visited the urologist recently and I was told that I would need a circumcision.
>I am 100% against having a circumcision. This is not particularly down to any religious beliefs or morals or values, but simply because I do not want to personally go through the physical pain and prolonged psychological trauma of having my foreskin removed.
>I am scared that I might get infections if I am unable to clean my penis glans properly. 90% of the time, the smell of smegma is not present and I do not have any trouble urinating. However, I have never had sexual intercourse and I guess I never will with my condition. This upsets me a great deal and makes me wonder what is the point of living, especially since I have quite a small penis anyway.
>In April, 2005, I am to be booked in for a circumcision (the UK Health Service is very slow as I initially had a consultation on September 5 this year) but I don’t know whether I can be bothered to turn up. 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.

I am in a similar position and didn't want a circum. I infact use another forum that suits me better. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention the URL of this other forum (perhaps due to politics). I'll wait for the moderator to reply about this?

I'm really in favour of stretching and I'm almost cured after 3.5 months stretching without any cream. I have/had the "pinhole" version too.

Let me be quick to say I appreciate fully those who give their views and help on this forum. It's just the other forum suited me better (that's just my opinion and choice).

Hopefully, I haven't offended anyone, by suggeting another forum.
