I am a 25 yr oldmale. I am not able to properly retract the foreskin of my penis. Is circumcision the only option ? I am scared of circumcision coz a) it hurts and b) I will feel very uncomfortable with the glans exposed all the time and no foreskin to protect it. Pls advice.

You don't need to get circumcised.
1) Non-retractability is not a defect. It occurs in up to 10% of intact men.
2) A few months of stretching exercises with steroidal cremes will make you retractable.
3) Even if you don't want to do the exercises, a surgery called a dorsal slilt will loosen you up without removing any erogeneous tissue. If you've never retracted, you may not realize how much of your present erotic sensations derive from the foreskin. Circumcision removes 50% of the sensual nerve endings.

No, circumcision isn't the only reason. Is you're foreskin tight or inflammed? You should get it checked by a doctor regardless. If you don't want a circumcision there are alternatives. If your foreskin is just tight and you want it function, I've read that you can stretch the opening (GENTLY) and over time, like a few weeks or something, it should be stretched enough to properly retract. I think there's also a cream that may help, but again, check with your doctor. If he/she is pushing for a circumcision, perhaps you'll want a second opinion.

what can i say but ignore all except the answer above mine?
you are right to be scared of foreskin removal for those reasons.
the glans is supposed to be an internal organ, and all the pain receptors on it will definitely be over activated when you cut off the foreskin and have all that extra stimulation
it is actually the foreskin which houses most of the pleasure/touch sensing nerves
it also acts like a sleeve to aid in penetration and...the motion of sex...
so take ron's advice, do the simple exercises to loosen it up, and be glad you have a foreskin
all the myths like it's hygienic to cut off your foreskin are, well, just that
the foreskin, for example, helps protect against urinary tract infections, because it is, well, a protective covering, among other things
chat to a doctor about it, but stop if the first thing he says is 'right, time to cut it off'
for starters, biomedical companies making skin repair products will make hundreds of thousands just from the cells in that one foreskin.
and who gets the profits? not you, you will be paying a grand just to get it cut off!

Generally speaking, circumcisions now a days do not remove all the foreskin. We had my son circumsized because we though he would feel more comfortable looking like his father( among other reasons) and we were surprised to see so much of the fore skin remaining. A doctor can simply release the foreskin without removing it all.

The period after surgery is uncomfortable..with all the dressings and stitches..but it does improve after about 4-5 days. Most people are able to go back to work after 3 days. People do get used to the lack of foreskin after a month. From what it sounds, you definitely do need this done...the alternative is not pretty.

I was circumcised at 27 years old. I have never regretted my decision. In fact it was one of the smarter decisions I made in my life. Go ahead and get it over with. No more stinky foreskin & no more smegma.

Circumcision is very good for your health & even for your partner.
Dont give a second thought , circumcise immediately.
It doesnt hurt at all , after circumcision you will regret that why you did it so late.

Just be mad at your parents for there decision, and visit the doctor. It really depends on your situation, and the pros and cons of having it done at your age....but, to fix your problem, so have your doc take a look up close and personal with it:)
