I'm 21 and have only recently become aware that I probably suffer from this phimosis. As far as I remember I have never retracted my foreskin past the glans, flacid or erect. When I was younger I tried to do this to keep that area clean but found it difficult so I didn't persist. My naivity has only recently become uncovered as to the fact that the foreskin should pass over the glans naturally when erect. Further to this I am able to retract the foreskin with a little persausion when flaccid and am aware of a 'band' near the end which is clearly tighter and restrictive in its size. Retraction is an impossiblity when erect and when in this state I can only see the very tip of the glans (1p sized). If retraction is attempted when erect there is a clear hourglass effect. How can I remedy this and how do these strectching exercises work. Since I became aware of this problem in the past two weeks I retract the skin when flaccid every day to keep clean and hopefully to stretch this ring.
Help anyone?
