Hello Simon,

This is a common condition to have. You say it has always been like that from as long as you can remember, well; if that is the case then there is every reason to believe that this is curable. For a long time I suffered like yuorself until I got help from the internet also. I will tell you how I have cured my problem.

Take 10 minutes a day on average, preferably in the bath and stretch the end of yuor forskin. Pull it foward and hold it there for a few minutes, release, and then do it again a couple more times. Also, slide two fingers inside the forskin and stretch it by pulling outwards. Think of putting your fingers inside a ballon and widening the space.

There may be a tight ring inside your forskin which needs widening, and by also pulling the foreskin foward it will slowly become more and more elastic and you will find that you are then able to pull it further back.

When flacid (not erect) I did not used to be able to pull it back very far, and this cured after about 3 weeks of practicing every day. I still had pain when erect but kept up the treatment. Now when I am erect I can pull the foreskin all the way behind the head, but it is still a little tight. With more and more practise I believe this will be cured. That is my suggestion to you.

Now others may suggest that you insert foreign objects in the foreskin and tape it into place for a day. I am not saying this is wrong, but I personally advise against it. If objects were supposed to be there they would be available by the doctor. Although it has worked for some people I'd go with the stretching for a few months first...you WILL see improvement if you have regular sessions. When it becomes more elastic try doing little things like pulling it back as far as it goes when going to the toilet, all these trivial things will help. Good luck,
