I am a 17 year old virgin, with an uncircumcized penis, and have phimosis.. i need help on what to do?

Question

my penis' skin retracts normally, but when it erects it barely retracts. i am so scared of this since i dont want to have a circumcission at this age, and i haven't even told my parents yet. I am scared to have sex since I dont know how it will affect me since i can't retract my headskin. I need help seriously and quickly on what to do.! thanks

Answer 1

If your foreskin pulls back when soft (as you say it does) I don't really think that it's a problem. I'd imagine you can masturbate fine, right? (that's action when erect/hard, so it's like sex). Either way, if you want to work on getting it less tight, here's some advice from another question that was asked.

You can actually stretch it like I did. When you shower. =)

Work on getting it less tight. Here's what you do. When you shower and soaping up your body, pull the foreskin back the most you can without forcing it, and then wash the head there underneath. If you do this for a few weeks each day, you'll see results. It'll slide back a little more every few days.

(and this part is in case your head is too sensitive to touch; might not be if you've been able to pull the foreskin back when soft) Now, as for the sensitivity, as studies have proven, the foreskin keeps the head sensitive. That's not a bad thing, since that creates pleasure. However, you don't want it too sensitive. Yours is just too sensitive because it hasn't been used much before. So you just have to rub it gently at first for some weeks and you'll see the difference. Then you'll be able to rub the head however you want. =) So in a way, those two things are tied.

So yeah, work on it and in a few weeks you'll like it. =) And of course, feel free to e-mail me from my profile if you have any questions!

And you have every right to remain uncircumcised, as after all, circumcision does carry risks and most 'benefits' are unfounded or contradicted. There's a reason why the USA is the last developed nation doing it to newborns, and our rates are falling; it's as low as 14% in some states by now.

If you work on it, everything will eventually be fine, as it was for me. (is for me, I mean)

In the end, if the stretching fails after a few weeks, you can ask a doctor for a cream. 0.05% betamethasone successful in over 90% of cases.

Answer 2

have you ever been able to retract your foreskin? your father should have taught you how to clean under the skin when you were a child. I would try and pull the skin back a little more each day to stretch it. don't do it so it hurts. and don't listen to those who say you need to be circumcised. What you have is treatable and not by removing good tissue.

Answer 3

Getting circumcised at your age is no problem! I was cut at 18 and it was the best thing I ever did! Seriously most Urologists are going to recommend it! You should take this opportunity to have what your parents screwed up on! It's cleaner, Healthier (for both partners) and it looks better! You actually think you are going to find an American girl to blow you or have sex with you when you are uncut?

BTW- It really is no big deal, I was done in office with a local. Was in and out withing 30-40 min. Was done on a Friday and back in class the following Monday!

Answer 4

You definitely do not need (or want) to mutilate your penis because the foreskin is a little tight! Jorge has given you very good advice.

There were several good answers (and one bad one) when this question came up a few months ago. Take a look at http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index;_ylt=AstGHgG6E_yRQLXJ4xr10HIAAAAA?qid=20070615023542AAeOpEB

Answer 5

quickly? plan on having sex tonight?

try going to a planned parenthood they would tell you if you should worry or not. its usually free they don't contact your parents and its more casual then a doctors office. but i would not suggest circumcising for the girls sake. it really takes away from the end product (sex) when its out of the picture.

Answer 6

Dude get it checked out , they can give you pain relief and you wont feel anything , and if you wait you could get complications and it would only make things worse. Good Luck

Answer 7

I'd try to avoid a circumcision, but a urologist may be able to offer less drastic surgical alternatives.

Answer 8

u dont have a choice- u have to go see a urologist and have a circumcision done- it is done as an actual surgery where u are asleep for the whole thing... but at some point u will not be able to retract the foreskin and it will hurt like heck- then u would have to go to the emergency room

Answer 9

yeah go to the doctor.

but dude...being a 17 year old virgin is no big deal...in fact its good. just wait tell your maried.
but go to the doctor ok.

Answer 10

go to parents, ask to see the doctor, ask to see if u r able to get medications to correct it, and then if the meds dont work then ud have to get surgeory (but at least itll help with not being in pain)
