It's a story we often hear from guys who didn't start retraction earlier in life. It's really nothing to be overly concerned about, but I'd suggest some exercises to temper the nerves into understanding what is going on.
Simply retract more often during the day. When you pee, you have a perfect opportunity to move the skin back and forth several times. The more times you do this, the sooner the nerves will become accustomed to being stimulated and they will adjust. It's similar to putting contact lenses into your eyes. The first time you do it, it's quite distressing, but as you gain experience, you'll be able to tolerate it.
Making deliberate touches should also be much easier on you than light touches.
Try touching your earlobes deliberately and then lightly stroke them. See the difference?
