>Like so many other people on this forum, I have only recently discovered that it wasn't normal for the foreskin to be non-retractable. I'm 25 so as you can imagine it was a bit of a shock, especially as I lead a healthy sex life and have a long term girlfriend. I knew that most men retracted it fully, but didn't think it was a problem not to retract it.
>The good news is that, following advice from these pages, I have had no initial problems rolling back the foreskin. Yes, it was painful at first but that was to be expected. I have done this in 2 days for a process that apparently takes a month, although admittedly I have spent a lot of time doing it within these two days. I have almost conquered stage 1/2 with the penis erect.
>My point is; first of all thanks - this is a very embarassing situation that I'd find it impossible to share with anyone other than those that suffer/have suffered - without this forum and the linked pages I'd still be none the wiser.
>Secondly - what sort of time span are we talking of to be able to have sexual activity without any pain caused mainly by the sensitivity of the glan ?
>once again, thanks to you all.Can't give you a definitive answer on #2. Just keep working the skin back and forth and the nerves in the glans will temper themselves to the touch.
Keeping up the action helps the skin to maintain the stretch. Not doing that will allow it to revert back to the tighter condition.
