>I've been reading through this site and have concluded that i obviously have a phimosis problem.
Good that you could learn something from these sites.
» Should i at least try the stretching exercises? - it sounds like i have nothing to lose.
Exactly. That's the best reason I can give for both phimosis stretching and foreskin restoration.
» would using a cream as well help?
Yes. It cannot not-help. The key is still that you do and how you do the stretching exercises.
» i would rather not see a doctor if it could be avoided.
Depends -- Where are you again?
» right now i still have a good sex life with my girlfriend - she is wonderful and understanding about it. sex isn't painful in any way but initial penetration is usually uncomfortable (especially from behind) and we can only really use the missionary position and sometimes her on top (though extremely gently).
If it doesn't hurt or cause serious problems, that's a good news. But almost everything can be improved, cannot it?
» also, oral sex is not terribly satisfying because she is worried about being too vigorous and hurting me. i would really like to solve this problem, things are ok as they are, but i know my sex life could be better if i didn't have this problem.
Oh, you read my mind.
Please do read back on the Jake Booth threads, if I remember correctly, there is his method described somewhere there. He didn't use any helping devices, only his own hand, and was quite victorious :] I believe the others (Paul B. for example) can provide you with proper links.
Good luck and keep on the feedback, mmmkay?
