Foreskin - problem or ok?

Question

Hello,
My foreskin doesn't naturally roll back when i get an erection.
I can force it down if i want to but this has to be done very slowly to avoid pain. It seems the foreskin is too tight. Also the tip is (in general) EXTREMLY sensitive ie painful to the touch.
Is there something wrong with me?
What are the implications?
Please help

BTW i am 17

Wow thanks everyone for the help
I wish i coudl make all of you "best answer"!

Answer 1

If you have a tight foreskin, you can stretch it or even get a prescription cream (that works in almost all cases) that you can combine with stretching to make a foreskin stretch to pull back. To stretch, just pull it back the most you can when you shower and wash under it. That's what I did and it fixed itself over time. Circumcision is rarely required; often doctors say it's required but only because it's the easiest and most profitable solution for them.

As for the sensitivity, as studies have proven, the foreskin keeps the head of the penis really sensitive, which isn't bad, since it serves as pleasure. However, you don't want it to be too sensitive. Yours is extra sensitive most likely because you have not pulled your foreskin back before much, so the head isn't used to being rubbed. When you shower, pull the foreskin back and let water fall on it gently (use your hand to pour water over it, for example) and after a week or so, start rubbing it a little. Every few days try to rub a little more, and I promise you that eventually it'll feel really good to rub. It's just a matter of getting it a little less sensitive. I went through this.

Circumcision is not necessary. In fact, it has become less common over time.

Circumcision has become less common. Circumcision rates were as high as 90% back in the 1960s and 1970s (that's partly why today's adults are so... brainwashed, I supposed you could say, about thinking that circumcision is better) but they have fallen to as low as 14% in some states. Here are the statistics:
http://www.cirp.org/library/statistics/USA/staterates2004/

The USA is the last developed nation doing it to a large number of newborns without religious or medical needs. (Europeans, Latin Americans, Japanese, and most Australians, Canadians, and Asians don't circumcise):

Circumcision does not completely stop penile cancer. The American Cancer Society has already confirmed the myth that circumcision = no cancer.
http://www.cancer.org/docroot/CRI/content/CRI_2_4_2X_Can_penile_cancer_be_prevented_35.asp

If circumcision did stop penile cancer, then penile cancer would not be more common in the USA (most circumcised adults) than in some European nations, where circumcision is not practiced other than for medical/religious reasons.

In a medical study, it was found that females are more likely to hit orgasm with an uncircumcised man:

The lubricated foreskin (on the inside... like your eyelids) slides up and down during sex and masturbation to stimulate the head (which is why you don't hear of uncircumcised guys needing lube to masturbate).

Studies have found that circumcision reduces sensitivity (this article also mentions how it has lost popularity in the USA in recent times):

And despite being more sensitive, uncircumcised guys still last in the same six minute range (average) that circumcised guys do:

Circumcision makes masturbation more difficult:
http://www.blackwell-synergy.com/doi/abs/10.1111/j.1464-410X.2006.06646.x

Which makes sense, that's how circumcision was promoted in the USA:

Increases erectile dysfunction rates:

If too much skin is removed in circumcision, it can make the penis smaller since the penis needs some skin to expand during an erection:

Answer 2

Nothing is wrong with you, in fact, that is totally natural, as I can attest from experience. You only need to practice stretching so that is retracts easily, and my suggestion is to do it in the shower, using warm water. While showering, pull it back as far as it'll go without pain, and just do this repetitively when you shower, pulling it back further and further over time until it is full retracted, this may take a week or so to full do this. Once you get it full retracted, it should stay that stretchy, so that it'll be able to do it once more. As for the tip being sensitive to touch, that's because it's protected by the foreskin, and that is a good thing. That means it's got a lot of nerve endings and it'll make your sexual experiences, solo or with someone, more pleasurable than a circumcised guy, so thank your lucky stars for that. If you want more info or have any more questions, feel free to contact me, I've been through what you are going through.

Answer 3

Sounds like you don't handle your equipment enough, need to get it more used to touching things, like your hand, so that when you put it into a willing female it doesn't misfire. Foreskin doesn't have to come down during erection, but most guys are more comfortable if it does slide down below the head with no problem. You can practice sliding it down a lot, to get it stretched out. But as to the tip being sensitive, you need to touch it more to reduce some sensitivity.

Answer 4

It's common for it to be tight in teens, just practise pulling it back and stretching it, it should loosen up after a while. Follow Jorge's instructions, he knows what he's talking about. If that doesn't work then see your doctor for a steroidal cream.

You won't need to be circumcised - ignore the idiots who don't know what they're talking about.

Answer 5

ya its supposed to be like that and to hang off a little cuz thats how it still covers if you get a ***** mines wrinkly like my balls so its like the same thing

Answer 6

u might want to have it looked at if it is that bad.

i mean really if it is like u say have it checked out to make sure u dont have a problem or are getting one

Answer 7

Stretch it slowly daily....after a while it will slide with no prob.

Answer 8

You should see a doctor as it isn't going to go away and it could get worse. Do not try any do-it-yourself and home remedies - that is part of your body not to be messed with.
There is no substitute for professional medical diagnosis and treatment and if circumcision is recommended, it is a common minor op done in day surgery and nothing to worry about.
But please see a doctor as soon as possible.

Answer 9

Keep pulling it back, you'll get used to it. Everything sounds normal to me.

Answer 10

It should not be that sensitive. It is embarrassing but you need to consult with a urologist.
