Slight Phimosis

Written by Franky T. at 22 Apr 2003 06:21:01:

I'm 23 and still a virgin, so it's only recently that I've started to understand that not being able to retract my foreskin while having an erection might be a problem for me.

I do masturbate quite often and I've never had any problem doing it since my foreskin isn't that tight. While erect, I can retract it a bit, enough to reveal some of the glans so masturbation was never painful. However, I can't retract all the way, and like I said, I eventually realized it wasn't normal.

Now I HAVE tried on a number of occasion to masturbate with the foreskin retracted all the way to try and stretch it in the hopes that eventually, it would become easier. When I do this, I retract the foreskin while flaccid and usually starts being painful when fully erect (don't know if it's important, but I always have rock-hard erections with an almost vertical penis so it stretches a lot) but only when fully so; the moment I become eevn a little less hard, it stops hurting so I guess it's not that tight. I never got stuck so I don't think there's any danger of paraphimosis.

Ok, I hope you're not frightened by all the creepy details but I want honest and well-informed advice on this. I start masturbating using lots of lubrication and after a minute or two it stops being painful. I just rub the glans and leave the foreskin under the ridge and once started, the foreskin doesn't seemed too stretched anymore.

I did realize that attaining orgasm that way takes quite a bit longer and requires lubrication but are much stronger than with the foreskin on.

Having never had sex, I don't know if this could cause me harm in the future. Are there stretching exercise that could help or is some kind of circumcision preferable?

Thanks for any help you can give me.
