For the love of god man, dont rip it, do you like mutilating your dick? If you tear it, you'll end up going to the doctor. It should glide back, not all the way though unless your are circumcised.

Seriously maybe the problem is you have a dirty foreskin which is restricting it from going back, if you give it a good clean and get rid of all the crap that can get caught under yor foreskin it should be okay.

there is no crap . i keep it very clean i shower every day . i know i wasnt circumcised and the skin only goes back a little bit there is something attaching my foreskin to the top of my penis that stops it from going back . i dont know what to do

In all seriousness and medically speaking, if you're worried

DONT BE STUPID! GO TO THE DOCTOR! GO TO THE DOCTOR NOW

Sorry I don't mean to be insensitive here but you're talking about an organ; don't do anything, ANYTHING that could in any way cause permanent damage. Embarassment is better than pain; its better to get the feller out in front of a doctor than do something that could mean you never get it out in front of a member of the female species again. If I seem a little insistent about this its because I've known someone who was too embarassed to see a doctor about a problem *down there* and only found out he had testicular cancer at a check-up later.

There is actually supposed to be a bit of skin there attached to it, unless you are circumcised as i said earlier, maybe it just your nerves stopping you from pulling it back that little bit more.

If it hurts to pull it back dont pull it back, go to your doctor or you could probably email one of those medical sites for some further advice.

Im registered but Im not taking the risk of being slandered by Goons.

Im 20 and I had that problem too, in fact I know a few guys who had that problem. Found out when we were all pissed at a drinking Sessúin.

When I was about 12-13 and started to notice somthing wasnt matching in pictures and meself. I (foolishly) bit by bit, tore it back and yes it hurt like hell...(Burning Sensation :eek: ) but I was only 12-13 and when ur hitting puberty ur Mom gets involved so I took the Hard road and avoided the Embarresment.

This hasnt affected my little fellow in any way at all.. and to be quiet honest, I'm glad I did it.

The guys I was talkin about went to hospital to get it seen to: They were black and blue with bruises for about 2 weeks after

My advice: DOCTOR, because I was younger then and unwise. Your older and you have some sense. Get it seen to Professionally. Its a common problem so dont be worried.

You said your fireman wasnt matching the pictures, thats probably because you were watching american porn

where 90% of american males are circumcised.

If you get circumcised you lose some sensation as your head is exposed at all times because you have no shield:( to protect him.
Think about that before you make a rash decision of chopping the skin off

Gah theres an American comedian on TV doing another feckin joke about Europeans not being circumsised :rolleyes:
Now I have nothing against circumsised ppl but I take offence to anyone telling me I'm in some way unnatural for not wanting to cut off bits of my body...

Man..

I'n all seriousness, I think I know what you have, it's a skin disorder. I have heard of it, the name of it is exbo (don't know how to spell it sounds like that though). This is where the forskin constricts. Sounds like you have a date with a doctor and a prepare to say goodbye to miste skin, cause he's goin to a lab. While you will have 20 odd stitches in yer nob.

Sorry to break the bad news but, thats life......

I think he said its actually attached: Thats common enuff. Dont scare the guy ffs.

They'll probably have some cream or somit like that to sort it out for ya, so dont worry bout it.

As a kid i ended up seeing a docter bout this, and was told to regularly pull back the foreskin in a warm bath as it softens the foreskin.

never did until i hit 13 and even then it was stuck for a while, - no probs now thank fec, however you best go see a docter and hopefully its not too late.is it just me or is the lack of attention to male health in modern society a sham.

That sounds like very sound advice.I remember the first time i had sex it hurt like hell. i had never heard of first time penetrative sex being painful for males as well as females maybe its a macho thing but i am guessing its not that an uncommon phenomena.
I would suggest going to see a doctor though just to be sure.

Many people in the world are born with a tight foreskin...

Chaos-Engine · 16-06-2002 3:32pm

The fact of the matter is if you have foreskin you have to be starting to pull it back from about the age of 11. Most guys these days avoid this for one reason or another(u wanker comments etc). But one of the main reasons is lack of fatherhood lead. IN our dads days it was common for a father to introduce his son to his "Family Julls".

If you haven't started the practice in the warm bath like the one described above from at least the age of 13 you will probably need medical assistance. Foreskin removal unfortunitly is the main route.

Before you go to the Doc I suggest runnning a warm bath with no bubbles and start to gently masterbate. Once its hard enough you can get to work SLOWLY.
If you do get it all the way back it MIGHT get stuck. And that will hurt like hell.
This is because your foreskin will probably not be capable to stretch as much as it should.
If you can manage to do this regularly(twice a week) you may not have to visit a doctor and your may over come your problem
But as you are 19 it seems unlikly that this will work. If serious discomfort is experienced STOP. The last thing you need a scares and an insensitive penis....

Professional MEdical advice is a must.

It's a fairly common problem but it rarely requires medical intervention. Regular stretching in the shower, as suggested by other posters, is a good exercise and will loosen things up considerably.

I suffered with this all through my 20s before I learned how to deal with it. Intercourse can be very painful, especially if your foreskin gets trapped behing your glans. Explain things to your partner, stretch it regularly and you'll find the problem should dissappear in time.

Good good, it seems almost unanimous that you should go to a doctor so. Just don't be embarrassed about it.

It's a shame that there was a lot of muppetry on this thread and people complained about it, I'd say some more bannings may be necessary if this persists. The PI board deals with sensitive issues, lets try and honestly keep it helpful... please.
