By "hurts", do you mean that there is actual physical damage, or do you mean that there is pain. You may not know it yet, but the difference between pain and pleasure can be rather circumscribed. Many is the time that after orgasm I cannot bear to have my glans touched. It is not 'pain' so much as it is an extraordinary sensitivity. Perhaps you experience something similar?
That your Doctor suggests that you not stretch your foreskin to eliminate 'pain' is more a specious attempt by him, I would suspect, to solve a problem for which he has no ready solution. Doctors are presented with myriads of problems in the course of their day from dozens and dozens of patients. Compared to others, your situation may not be as important to him as others might be, and he would pluck the easiest answer from the air in order to get to his next patient.
Why not try again, only use a bit of lubricant to ease the sensitivity...and begin with only the slightest stretch, easing every so gradually into the process. What a pain you might say to go through with this....but imagine...you are getting to know the most sensitive part of your body with a degree of understanding that few men possess, except in the most superficial way. Look on the process as a marvelous experience and opportunity rather than as a bother.

>OK, thanks for the prompt response. From what you have described, you have some flexibility, so you should be able to stretch manually. Take hold of the skin on each side and stretch it apart. When showering, the skin is most supple, so this creates your best opportunity. Hold the stretch for several minutes, and if you can repeat it at least one more time per day, that's good.
>>Do just the manual stretching for a couple of weeks, and let's regroup after that. Any questions?
>I did that like you say jim and it hurt my foreskin. My doctor said not to do it anymore. Why?
