    Right here it is,my foreskin wont pull back over the head of my penis.The hole at the top isnt large enough,i have spoken to a GP about it and he said its no problem unless it becomes uncomfortable during sex(havent found out yet)age 20:( .To be honest i know it WILL be because you know what will hurt or be a bother yourself.He says circumcision or part circumcision but i dont want to go down that route.I have googled it and researched some of it and there are a few techniques but they dont seem to work,or im not patient enough.I just want to know what should i do,has anyone had this problem,know anyone that has.I heard that a guy in school had to get it done but have lost all contact with these guys i used to go to school with.AND i dont like my GP as everyone says he is a crap doctor and I think he is aswell.For this type of thing anyway.What do i do.
    Thanks

    Relax.

    Take it slowly. It will take time.

    Also - if you wear a condom during sex. Sorry - when you wear a condom during sex it won't be a problem. Make sure they're lubricated and you're away.

    In the mean time....

    Relax.

    Take it slowly. It will be ok.

    you can make it looser by pulling at it in a hot bath. this doesnt always work though. worth a shot

    Don't worry mate, it will be alright.

    I used to think the exact same thing myself. No need to go messin at it.

    The old chap will surprise you when the time comes. Basically, during sex the skin will peel back itself without any discomfort, everything is a bit more lubed than usual. Should widen itself out, you'll get the hang of it.

    Had the same problem mate. Two things, the tightness will actually help you go for ages (numbness can be a big plus) but eventually the foreskin will come back and get easier. Be prepared for the tiny piece of skin that holds the foreskin to the head of the glans snapping, its meant to but at this later in life stage it can be a wee bit nippy and frighteing when you see the blood. Don't panic, bathe it regularly and within the week all will be well.

    Hey op

    Had the same problem when i was a little younger, really tight foreskin that would not come down over the head of my penis.

    I was having sex with my gf and my foreskin split and there was quite a lot of blood. I was very freaked out. I told my dad about it i was so worried - and he laughed it off and said it was nothing to be worried about. but i was really shaken, so i went to the doc for some reassurance. he told me that it was pretty common, and that it would be likely to happen again when i was having sex. and so it did. but nowadays it has split and stretched sufficiently that it rolls back all the way without any discomfort. i would say it will be the same for you.

    one thing - about the spplitting foreskin. it is just a momentary pain, a bit like being pricked by a pin. when i was in school i heard hoprror stories about how agonising it would be, but this is not the case - it is over before you know it and the sensation does not linger at all.

    so even though you are undoubtedly worried, as i certainly was; try not to be, because it is not actually a big deal, it is not uncommon, it is not painful - and it will sort itself out

    I had a similar problem when I was younger, but in my case, instead of the hole at the top not being large enough, my penis was too large to fit through the hole. Relax and enjoy life, and don't let any doctor touch your shaft unless they're verry pretty and off duty.

    This is a phimosis, the amount of threads on PI about it is pretty surprising, but then it's not the kind of thing that gets discussed in regular conversation either.

    Your GP saying that it's not a problem sounds a bit strange, but at least he suggested circumcision. Unless you have a particular attachment to having a foreskin (all joking aside), perhaps you should consider it? You really won't miss it, and it sounds like it's causing you unnecessary hassle. It's minor surgery, and you'll probably be discharged on the same day.

    And just in general as opposed to anything specific, if you're not happy with your GP, change him. Your body is the most important thing that you own, don't put up with second rate advice from someone you have appointed to help you look after it!

    I don't own a penis, but I hear that the foreskin has a lot of useful nerve endings in it... don't think you should treat it that lightly :D'
