Sex Question - For the guys...

    Hey,
    First post here and I just have a question regarding sex.
    Firstly I am a virgin so this is new grounds to me.
    Anyway its coming to the time where I am going to sleep with my girlfriend.
    However my foreskin is sometimes difficult to retract and I think that I may need to be partly circumcised.
    Is is possible to have sex with a condom on without your foreskin having to come back - I know ideally you are supposed to do it before putting it on, but can you have sex without doing it, ie just wearing a condom over you penis. - Yes, No, Maybe?
    Thanks
    Adios

    Who told you that you had to pull it back ? Without a condom it will naturally go back as you penetrate, so if your foreskin is too tight then this might be a problem for you , ie: cause you pain. This can be fixed with very minor surgery, or you can try pulling it back yourself , lots of lube, do it every day and you can kinda "stretch" it a bit.

    With a condom on, the foreskin generally stays in place, does for me anyway. I also find it a bit uncomfortable putting one on if my foreskin is pulled back.

    you may also last a little longer if its not pulled back... then again , my first time lasted about a nano second ... what a nano second though !

    If it doesn't pull back with a bit of lube and/or practise you can get surgery to correct it. Circumcision may also be neccessary due to hygene reasons. It's very rare though - it'll probably stretch out a bit over time. I've never tried putting a condom on without pulling it back.

    Get the surgery

    Get the surgery
    i think posts like that is uncalled for,

    have you seen the guys wang?

    more sensible advice would be to get advice from your GP.

    Plenty practice is all that is required, it will get easier after a while.

    What age are you btw? Your best bet is to try and pull it back yourself gradually over time. Surgery should be a last resort.

    Have a bit of practise, cos once it's chopped off, it doesn't grow back.

    yes it does its like a toenail...

    OP, just go with the flow, if you feel uncomfortable, see your GP and ask what his recommendation is.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,228 ✭✭✭Keith186


    My ma told me that one of the women's son's that she works with had to get circumcision done and he's about 26/27. Maybe hold off for a little while n see how it goes.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,797 ✭✭✭Paddy20


    This is a very common problem, A tight foreskin is uncomfortable during intercourse, but personally I have lived with it for a 'very' long time and the pleasure has certainly made me forget that, even though there can be some discomfort after the passion.

    I did not like the idea of circumsion and explained this openly to my lovers, they never complained about their personal enjoyment, so at over 60 I am still active.

    Try it more than once, and see how you feel, and good luck.

    No it doesn't. While some people stretch the skin on their penis in an attenpt to regrow their foreskin, it isn't a foreskin.
    OP, just go with the flow, if you feel uncomfortable, see your GP and ask what his recommendation is.
    OP, talk to your GP and if necessary get a referral to a specialist. There are options for creams to help stretch the skin.

    Search for circumcision on PI, there have been quite a few threads on it before.

    Put a condom on, the foreskin generally stays in place, does for me. I also find it a bit uncomfortable putting one on if my foreskin is pulled back, if I have sex without a condom my foreskin is usually all the way back by the end anyway

    Hi there, you know in America they have all newborn babies circumcised because they believe that its more hygienic or so on. I do not really believe that. I heard before that you can have an incision on the foreskin maybe halfway so that you dont have to remove it fully.

    I fear that it may be traumatising for you, ok where your a baby you forget the trauma but when your old it could be worse. I would not advise to get circumcised honestly.

    Perhaps before you interact with your partner, do alot of foreplay, use alot of lube and maybe your gf could pleasure you to ease the pain. Perhaps even try making love when wearing a condom trying not to fold back the foreskin when putting it on if at all possible.

    Do what feels right by you.

    OP you don't have to pull your foreskin back when your putting on a condom


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 166,012 ✭✭✭✭LegacyUser


    I had the same problem and i remember being worried about this too! Pull your foreskin back alttle everyday, it will stretch and eventually you'll have no problems. This is the first peice of advice you'll be given by your doctor. And no, your foreskin doesn't have to go back to put on a condom.

    My advice is take it slow, and ****/play around with your foreskin afair bit.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,314 ✭✭✭Talliesin


    If you have a short foreskin which will naturally move mainly or wholely back from the glans on it's own when you have an erection then you should almost definitely pull it back before putting on a condom.

    If you have difficulty moving back your foreskin then you should leave it forward before putting on a condom.

    If you have a long foreskin, but no difficulty in moving it back, then it's up to you. You will likely find that you have more sensation if you pull it back first; likely to feel nicer, but you may find you last longer if you leave it forewards. You may simply find one much more comfortable than the other.

    If you find that you can't move it back, but have too much movement for it to be comfortable with it not moved back, then try Durex's "Conture" brand or Ansell's "Easy-fit" shape (used for most of their lines).

    Don't bother with surgery, just find a handy nail scissors.

    edit: And don't forget to sterilize it by boiling it first. Good luck!

    went to doc few months ago cos had same problem, he said the last thing to do is get circumcised, just use plenty of lube, it will loosen up over time, plenty of practice!!


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Ninja_scrotum


    I loosened mine in the shower every day when I was younger, now 'tis like a wizards sleeve! Whips back whoooosh ready for action in no time!

    I'm serious, mess around with it in the shower (or bath) when it's soft and warm, roll it back slowly first, not all the way! Just as far back as you think you can go. Then try and leave it or hold it there for a few minutes. Then put it back. Roll it back again. Then put it back. Etc.

    Roll it back a small bit more every day/shower. The foreskin is really elastic. Eventually it will go all the way back. Try doing this when you go for a piss as well.

    Of course, take your time with this!

    If you roll it back too far too early you can damage it. If it gets stuck when roling it back, use lots of soap or anything like lube to get it back.



    DO NOT get circumcized, unless you want a calloused, desensitized (like a blocklayers hands) nob when you're 25.

    Ahhh, it's times like this that I'm glad I was circumcised as a kid. As someone said already, how old are you? Best of luck!

    I thank God I was not circumcised, even though I have had intercourse disomfort, Stick with what you have is my advice unless you are Jewish or have a very severe problem ?..

    P. :cool:


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 6,414 ✭✭✭kraggy


    When you guys speak about pulling it back, do ye mean all the way over the knob?

    Did I miss sex ed at school one day cause I never pull back my skin to put on a condom.

    Do many of ye do that and why?


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 510 ✭✭✭Ninja_scrotum


    Yes pull it back all the way over the knob until it stays nicely behind the helmet.

    I don't know how anyone can have sex without pulling back the foreskin. When the head is exposed, the sensitivity and feeling is much better. The foreskin protects the sensitive glans for times like SEX, when it folds back.

    If you have your foreskin on, and then throw a johnny on top of it, the sensitivity must be close to zero.

    OP, don't listen to this guy....

    He didn't have a choice do he doesn't know any better. You have a choice.

    I don't know how anyone can have sex without pulling back the foreskin.
    And without the ability to swap penises you'll never know first hand, but men aren't all built the same.

    Can't imagine doing that at all. Would be really painful and no, the sensitivity isn't close to zero the way i do it.
