The condition is called phimosis.
Unable to retract your foreskin is not reason for circumcision.
"One may expect 50 percent of ten-year-old boys; 90 percent of 16-year-old boys; and 98-99 percent of 18 year-old males to have full retractable foreskin. " [ http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/ ]
"Topical steroid ointment is now the treatment of choice for phimosis, due to low morbidity, lack of pain or trauma, and low cost." [ http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/ ]
"Reports in the medical literature from Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Italy, France, Australia, Serbia, and the United States have demonstrated the efficacy of topical steroid ointment in the relief of preputial stenosis in boys. The application of steroid ointment to the foreskin has the effect of accelerating the normal growth and expansion of the foreskin that occurs over several years and which usually results in the spontaneous relief of the non-retractile condition. Narrow foreskins usually eventually widen without treatment.
The treatment is non-surgical. There is no trauma and no surgical risk. The treatment is inexpensive. The foreskin and all of its protective, erogenous, sensory, and sexual physiologic functions are preserved. A success rate in the range of 85-95 per cent is reported. Treatment of narrow non-retractile prepuce with topical steroid ointment is now recommended by the American Academy of Pediatrics"
Alternatively, you may pull the skin back until you feel a stretch but not to the point of pain. This will cause it to expand naturally over time.

No you don't need to get circumcised and yes, circumcision does hurt. You seem to have a condition called phimosis, where the foreskin opening is too tight/narrow for you to be able to retract (pull back) fully. There are many ways to loosen the foreskin to cure this.
The first thing you should try are stretching exercises. See link 1 for good and detailed instructions on what to do. You should do those exercises for a few minutes each day for a few weeks to a month, preferably right after a shower/bath.
If after a month or so and little/no progress, there are certain prescription creams that'll help loosen the foreskin. In one study, these creams are the most cost-effective treatment a doctor can provide (link 2, names of creams in one of the tables). Be aware that like the stretching exercises, the creams may take up to a month for the full effect; but you can make things go a bit faster if you combine the creams with the stretching exercises.
If worse comes to worst and neither of the above treatments work (which is uncommon), then it might be worth considering surgical intervention. However, this doesn't necessarily mean circumcision as there are still options. There are operations that are cheaper, less painful, remove little/no foreskin, and have a quicker recovery time (link 3). Regardless, any surgery should be considered as a last resort for when the 2 treatments above have failed.
Again, in almost all cases of phimosis the stretching exercises and/or the creams will work. See links 4 and 5 for more info on phimosis. Besides, there are reasons to keep your foreskin if you can only loosen it (links 6, 7, 8). Good luck with whatever you try.

You dont need to be circumsized.
I had the same problem many years ago, ( when i was 16, 17 )
Just practise pulling it back in the bath ( Dont pull to hard ) try adding salt into the bath water .
This is what my doc advised me and it seemed to work over time.
And aso you dont need to pull it right back to have a baby. As long as your semen gets in all should be ok.

No, you don't need a circumcision. Yes, it would hurt to have it done -- and leave you with a permanently less sensitive penis.

It really does hurt - of course! - but it sounds like you don't need it. You could try other treatments first...see your doctor...there is stretching and creams...but if it is really bad then you can get it done. But you should try other things first.

Just try to stretch it gently. The salt sounds like it would sting. Be sure you are GENTLE. ~GL
