Stretching the foreskin

I've been asked to share some information about how as uncut guys our foreskin can be stretched to allow for it to mover freely over the head of our penis and down the shaft. Its been a while since we've been through this on the board, so here goes! Its common for uncut guys to have some difficulty with tight foreskins. This will require some patience and some consistency in working with it, but the results are well worth the "work" involved. Its best to take warm/hot soaking baths and gently begin to stretch the foreskin out (away from your penis) then use your finger to open the foreskin more and more. The warm/hot water helps make the skin more pliable. After doing this for a while and making the opening larger, then begin to work the foreskin over the head and down the shaft of your penis, take it easy and work consistently. This may take some time and repeated attempts are necessary. In time you'll begin to notice that it becomes easier and will go farther down with more work. Be careful not to be to agressive or tear the frenulum (that tiny piece of skin just under the head) You'll need to keep the area under your foreskin cleaned on a daily basis, as you're doing this be sure to retract the foreskin as much as you can. This will prevent the buildup of smegma, a naturally occuring substance that helps the foreskin glide over the head. Smegma does have quite the odor but is not a problem when good hygiene and cleaning are part of a daily routine. One other tip, the head of your penis is going to be very sensitive, remember it stays covered most of the time. In time and with more stimulaltion, this sensitivity will lessen. Actually, you'll learn to enjoy the sensitivity you experience there. Each time you pee or masturbate be sure to retract the foreskin as much as you can and this will help with the stretching process. Be patient and let me know if you need more help!

Anonymous Unregistered Hey Lance, I appriciate the help. Just one question though, how do I get rid of the smegma? I've tried turning the shower pressure up but that didn't help, plus I can't remove it with my hands because my penis is very sensitive. Any tips on cleaning would be helpful. Thanks alot.

I think it's been mentioned before that perhaps putting baby oil on it an letting it "soak in" for a day helps. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to get a wire brush... just kidding.

Baby oil is a good suggestion, it will loosen things up a bit and make removal easier. As to the sensitivity, that too will lessen as time goes by, as you can gently rub and stroke the head of your penis and in time you'll notice it less "painful" or sensitive.

Sensitivity gets less after more stimulation. I'd say that the more you rub it or expose it, the less sensitive it will be. Maybe use a bit of hand cream or some lubrication and gently massage it to work with it some more. Just takes a little time, remember it stays covered!

It helps if you have an erection when you are slowly pulling back as this will help stretch it out in circumference. How long to do it? As long as you can.

This depends alot on the tightness of the foreskin and how consistent you are in working with it. I've heard of some guys having some success in just a couple of weeks, for others it has taken as long as several months. Main thing is be patient, work consistently and do the stretching regularly!

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered If I can get the foreskin off the head and clean it, etc. that's all good, BUT 1) Is the foreskin supposed to roll back onto the shaft as well? Where is the foreskin "rolling back" limited to how far down the penis... 2) I can get the foreskin rolled up when limp, but if I get hard with my foreskin rolled up it seems to circumvent the flow... and I guess it kinda hurts? So how do you get past that? I don't think I roll it back when I'm hard (like vice-versa). Any input on that? Thanks.

Your foreskin should be able to be fully retracted all the way down the shaft when erect, or be able to move freely up and down the shaft and over the head. Sounds like you just need to do the stretching stuff and things will be fine. That "pain" and tightness will go away after you've stretched it out some.

Anonymous Unregistered okay, i'm a mum with an 'uncut' (as you put it!) son. i'm wondering at what age generally does the foreskin begin to retract, and does this happen naturally or do you need to retract it yourself? i've heard various ages from 7 to 12, and as my boy is 9 i'm wondering if the time is nearing when we will need to know what he needs to do. he thought his foreskin was retracting the other day and showed me, but it wasn't. (in case you're wondering, his dad is cut and i doubt very much talks about these things with him).

I would say that sometime between now and 12 is when he should notice the foreskin becoming "free" and moving over the head of his penis. As soon as that happens he'll need to begin cleaning under there daily as a good hygeine

practice. By age 12 if the foreskin isn't retracting, then I'd say he'll need to do some of the exercising to stretch it a bit so that he can clean under there and have movement of the foreskin. I'd suggest that you have this conversation with him soon while he's still willing to talk to you about such things. He needs to understand his "equipment" and how to care for it. Hope this helps!

Well, you probably won't have sucess in just 1 attempt. Push, pull, fold, roll.. they all are pretty much the same. The goal is to expose the head. Lance gave good instructions above so follow them and you should see some results.

To CutBoy86: The redness of the glans is normal and I'm guessing you're referring to the inner foreskin being kind of sticky when you dry it off?? If so, that is also normal because the inner foreskin is always moist and different from the outer part of the foreskin.

The white "gunk" is probably a build up of smegma, a normal substance that helps the skin move over the head of your penis. You need to clean that out really good by using soap and water, soaking it to loosen it etc. Sometimes if it won't release a bit of baby oil or lotion will help. Once it is all gone, simply retracting the foreskin and cleaning under there on a daily basis will prevent that from happening again.. I suspect that vein you're talking about is the frenulum, located just under the head of your penis it attaches the foreskin and should be there!

Conundrum...

Anonymous Unregistered Lance, I've been doing your exercises for weeks (a month?) and I've made progress....in the warm water. In the warm water, I can almost fully retract the foreskin beneath the rim. However, when I'm not in the warm water, I can barely pull the foreskin down halfway over the head. I'm really glad I can clean the head in the tub now...but is there something more I can do to retract the foreskin when not in the tub? Also, when you say "Work the foreskin down the shaft," do you mean by a little bit? Like to just expose the entire head/rim? Or do you mean work it down inches? Thanks again for the help.

To expose the entire head. You should be able to pull it down entirely when flaccid but when erect it'll usually just get down behind the head. You should try stretching when you are erect as that will give you maximum stretching in circumference, which is the goal. Just don't go so far that it gets stuck behind the head, as that will trap blood in the head and not let it go down. You're probably not at that point yet.

Sounds like you've made some progress but you need to keep working at it. I'd say that when not in the tub you can work with it by using some hand lotion or other lubrication to make the foreskin easier to slide on the head and shaft. You want to work the foreskin down the shaft as far as you can and keep repeating this process. Sure, it may lead to some "excitement" and masturbation and that is OK...just use the foreskin as much as possible, this will help with the stretching. Be patient and consistent in your attempts to stretch things.

Alright, I'm a bit worried. You said that the foreskin is supposed to go down past the head all the way down to the shaft; now here's the problem, I can freely get my foreskin over my head, but from there I can't go down any further because the "underbelly" of my foreskin is connected to the head from a piece of skin which prevents me from travellin' down the shaft. Anybody know the solution to this problem? Thanks

Hey bud, yep...when you pull the foreskin back over the head of your penis you'll be able to see the frenulum. Its a small piece of skin just under the head of your penis, on the underside. It keeps your foreskin in place and for that reason is supposed to be there. As for cleaning, you'll need to retract the foreskin down over the head and using soap/water, clean the head of your penis and the underside of the foreskin. This will prevent the buildup of smegma and generally keep things in good order under there. Hope this helps, let us know if you need anything else!

Well I discovered the problem isn't that the frenulum is too short, it's that my "inner" foreskin is really tight! Any way I can make this any more loose so that I can travel south down to the shaft?

Hey bud, you can stretch that foreskin so that it will move freely up and down the shaft of your penis. It shouldn't matter whether it is the "inner" skin or the entire foreskin it can be stretched. The same is true for the frenulum, that tiny piece of skin that holds the foreskin to your penis. Heres how I'd suggest doing that. Take warm/hot soaking baths or showers and start by pulling your foreskin out over the head of your penis. Gently use a finger and by making circular motions with the opening of your foreskin, enlarge it or stretch it so that it opens further each time. Be patient and consistent, working like this each day for a few days to a week or so, you'll begin to see progress. Each of us is different though so it may take longer for you to enlarge it enough so that it moves easier. Once you've got the opening a bit larger, then start working it up and down the shaft...the larger opening should allow for the foreskin to slip right over the head and onto the shaft. You can then work at stretching your foreskin down the shaft. Using the same hot/warm bath just stretch the foreskin out as far as you can without pain and then as far down the shaft as you can. In time, you'll be able to fully retract your foreskin down the shaft and when erect your penis will resemble one that isn't cut. Of course, foreskins come in all sizes and lengths just like penises do so it may take weeks or even months for this to happen. As you're doing this you will also be stretching the frenulum as well..be careful not to tear it...hurts like heck and makes masturbation or anything sexual painful until it heals. Also be aware that the head of your penis is going to be super sensitive for a while....its been covered and not subjected to stimulation. In time it will be less sensitive and will provide you great pleasure! Hope this helps!

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hello, I think this might be the right thread to post to so here goes. I'm 28 years old and have been regularly masturbating since I was about 15 and my foreskin is intact. Despite my great age I had not had sex until last week since I've only recently met someone I consider special - this has never been a problem, I've always been very relaxed about it and never seen my virginity as a burden.

Anyway, during an early sexual encounter my girlfriend pulled my foreskin down (whilst I had my eyes closed) without knowing what she was doing - generally it felt good! I was pretty shocked when she moved back up to me and I looked down and saw what she'd done - I immediately reached down and forced my foreskin back to were it's always been. Last week we had sex for the first time and I at no point felt like I was going to ejaculate - after the moment had reached it's end and I pulled out I was again shocked to see the foreskin pulled back this time it was behind the head of my penis and I did not touch it, a little later she used her hand on me for sometime and I at no point felt close to ejaculating and at times it felt very painful (especially underneath - what I now presume after reading here is the frenulum), on some downstrokes it felt very uncomfortable. After we'd gone our ways I returned to my penis and could not get the foreskin back until my penis had gone placcid again and then I had to really stretch it out and up with some force. A couple of nights ago she again retracted the foreskin and again used her hand with no orgasm effect and at times with pain. This time after we parted I tried to get an erection to masturbate myself - the head was large but I couldn't get the shaft very stiff at all - however I carried on and after some effort had an extremely painful orgasm and thought the head of my penis was going to explode - after a little while my penis shrunk and I was able to return the foreskin. And so I got on the internet and found this site! I did not know the foreskin was meant to retract - I've never had any problems or pains masturbating or in any other respect to my penis, the foreskin has always stayed along the length of my penis and never even slightly hinted at retracting. The last couple of nights I have forced the foreskin back - it's very tight and gets stuck behind the head. I haven't been able to get a strong erection with it like this. The flenulum underneath is also very, very tight and the area that feels incredibly sore at the time (no real discomfort afterwards - it feels fine now) and the things seems at breaking point! So after all that: am I in the same situation with regard to my sex organs as a lot of other people? I confess I'm slightly concerned about our next encounter although luckily I feel I will be able to talk to her about it. Will everything likely sort itself out if I start doing this everyday to stretch it? I'm very concerned and nervous about how tight and sore the frenulum gets and how tight the foreskin is under the head of my penis also the fact that it's so hard to ejaculate and on the occasion that I did that it was so painful.

I hope you didn't mind reading all that and can offer me some opinions or advice. Your help would be very much appreciated.

I think that you will find in time that it will get less and less painful, and more enjoyable. It sounds as if the nerve endings aren't use to being exposed and therefore are very sensitive. Keep practicing alone pulling it back. _________________________ ~*~Smile, it's the second best thing you can do with your mouth.~*~

Hey exvirgin, Keep up the stretching. Generally it's going to take some time to comforatably pull the foreskin back. The fact that you are able to get it back now when erect is a very good thing. Some guys can't even get it back when flaccid. Most guys would/should start retracting in their early teens during puberty so you have about 14 yrs of catch up to do, but you're pretty much already there. I know how you feel when you first saw it retracted. I remember as a young teen as I started pulling back out of curiosity, that I was afraid that my penis would pop out or something like that. But little by little I found out that it wasn't going anywhere. Keep pulling back especially when erect and you'll have it stretched out properly. Come back and ask any questions if you like.

If you have a bad case of phimosis(tight foreskin), perhaps a trip to the doctor is warrented. You should ask the doctor about getting a steroid creme like betamethasone. This can help the stretching preocedure. You say you've been doing this for 3 months with no results. What exactly is your technique, time etc...

If you previously were able to retract and clean and now it is tight, there is obviously some problem. Signs are that you have some sort of infection going on here. The odor can be not only from accumulated smegma but also the infection. I would recommend soaking in a hot hot bath for a while and see if you can retract it somewhat to see what's going on. Is it red, painful, itchy, etc... Secondly, go to a doctor and have him take a look at it. The doc may recommend circumcision, but if he does, he's not doing his job. He needs to find out what the cause is first.

I'm having trouble understanding your question. If you're asking about the forskin on the bottom, where the frenulum is, whether it goes back as far as the skin on the top , then I would say no. The frenulum holds it from going all the way.

The purpose of the Frenulum is to keep the foreskin from going all the way back. My frenlum tore during sex so I don't have a frenulum. This happens fairly often. It was painless, there was some blood and it was sore for a few days. For some that might know what a frenulum looks like. http://www.circumstitions.com/Images/Glossary/frenulum.jpg

That's normal. You can see part of the frenulum when the foreskin is only partially retracted. In fact, you can sometimes see a strip of the webbed skin of the frenulum even with the foreskin fully forward over the head.

The first time my girl went for my cock she ended up grabbing the foreskin and pulling it back... I winced in pain. Now she's scared to touch me, so I have to coach her. I'm not used to having the skin pulled back, only recently have I started pulling it back to clean it because I was never aware that it had to be done, she says it smells and tastes really good so no worries about that. But when she's giving me a handjob or blowjob she often gets carried away and ends up causing discomfort. Will this pain subside? And will it feel like this during intercourse? I can pull my foreskin over my head but its kind of tight and causes discomfort, so I'm going to start stretching. Whenever she hurts me she causes me to lose my edge and it takes like 3 hours for me to even get off, and by that time I'm all numb, so how long does it generally take the penis head to get used to this type of stimulation? And should the entire head be exposed when I'm having intercourse or being sexually pleasured? Because at this point it seems like that would be extremely uncomfortable. *Sorry for all the questions, I've just been looking for forums like this for a

really long time (where people are going through the same thing as me).

During intercourse or oral the foreskin should be pulled back exposing the head. During hand jobs the head is in general too sensitive for direct contact unless there is ample lubrication. If she is hiving you a hand job, she should let the foreskin glide back and forth over the head. However since you say the forskin is a bit too tight, you have homework to do and that is to get it stretched out. Actually, your GF can even help you out with it.

You are doing it correctly. The head of the penis should be fully exposed when you retract the foreskin. Pull back to the point where it is uncomforatble and hold it there for a while, then repeat. Do this as often as you can.

#1 for cleaning. #2 because all the sensation is underneath the foreskin. #3 because the forskin does get pushed back during sex. If it is too tight and is forcefully pushed back, it can get stuck behind the head and you can also tear the frenulum. Why isn't it taught? because the idiotic circumcised majority doesn't give a shit.

At 16, you should be able to pull back your foreskin all the way with ease. So if you can't, you need to start working on it! There have been tons of posts here already on how to stretch your foreskin so it will retract so do a search on here for "Foreskin Stretching". Actually, I think the first page of this thread has lots of tips on how to do it. You need to do this to 1) properly clean under your foreskin each day and 2) to have a properly functioning penis for sex and masturbation. The frenulum is a thin line of skin below the urethra opening just below the head, that fans out to a web that connects the bottom of the foreskin to the bottom of the head. Just like the web of skin under your tongue. If you've never pulled back your foreskin, you may have never actually seen your frenulum, as its not easy to see with the foreskin forward. When you pull your foreskin back past the head, you can see it easily on the underside. The frenulum will stretch to allow your foreskin to be pulled back all the way.

It may be tight for you, but you need to work on stretching it so its not so tight. It won't look awkward. If you've ever seen a picture of an uncut penis with the foreskin fully retracted, it looks almost exactly like a circumcised penis. _________________________ My avatar is a picture of my own sperm under a microscope.

I've never actually seen how a foreskin goes back - so it's difficult for me to understand how this works. Does it pull back from where you pee - the hole ? And finally, everytime I pee, I always get the smell of pee round my cock, and sometimes people can smell it aswell - which is embarassing - would pulling the foreskin prevent this ? I have no idea at all. thank you for any help

Well, the first thing is you need to stop being afraid of pulling back your foreskin. Your foreskin is designed to be retracted behind the head, and is supposed to. Its part of what makes a fully functioning penis. It's abnormal for

Registered: 10/13/00 Posts: 2609

the foreskin NOT to retract! At 16, you should be able to fully retract your foreskin past the head. One reason is hygiene: under your foreskin, a substance called smegma accumulates, which is whitish/yellowish colored and texture of cheese. Smegma is made of dead skin cells, oils, sweat, pheremones (sexual odors), and left over drops of urine and semen. When left to accumulate under the foreskin for more than a day or two, it can turn bad smelling. So you need to retract your foreskin every day in the shower to wash the smegma away and keep your penis looking and smelling clean. The other reason to retract is simply pleasure: under your foreskin, you have the head or glans of your penis, which is extremely sensitive and pleasurable. Also, the simple movement of the foreskin gliding back over the glans is very pleasurable. So both masturbation and sex are greatly improved with a retractable foreskin.

I'm not sure if what you are referring to is actually a vein or not. It may be your frenulum, which is a strip of skin along the underside of your foreskin near the tip, just below your pee hole. When the foreskin is forward, it can look like a vein along the underside of the foreskin. When you retract your foreskin, it will look like a web of skin, kind of like underneath your tongue. It could also be part of your raphe, which is a line of dark colored skin that can continue down the length of the penis shaft through the middle of the scrotum. For some guy the line is only visible on the scrotum, and not on the penis. No matter what it is, you won't be damaging it by retracting your foreskin. Remember, the foreskin is designed to be retracted!
In reply to:

Basically the foreskin glides back over the head. The hole that you see now, which is really just the tip of the foreskin, should expand and stretch over the

head as it pulls back. When the foreskin is back behind the head, it looks pretty much like a circumcised penis, as the foreskin is gathered back down the penis shaft, or bunched behind the ridge of the head, depending on how far back you pull the foreskin. Rather than try to explain it more, here is a picture of what it looks like to pull back the foreskin. This is from a medical-related site, so hopefully this is OK to post. Diver, if this isn't appropriate, please remove it. But hopefully you'll find these pictures informative.

In reply to:

What you are smelling is almost defintely the smegma that has accumulated under your foreskin. This smell is one of the reasons its important to pull back your foreskin each day in the shower and wash under the foreskin. Its just part of good hygiene. If you've never pulled your foreskin back in your life, you will have a LOT of smegma build up, and it may take some work and effort to get it all cleaned off (the stuff can get very sticky). And when you do get your foreskin back the first time, the odor may be very powerful. But, once you get the smegma build up off, and clean it everyday, you will no longer have a smell. Hope this helps, and good luck! _________________________ My avatar is a picture of my own sperm under a microscope. Pretty cool huh? Drugs are garbage. I'm high on my own testosterone.

Unfortunately no. Regular stretching and contact with the head will eventually reduce the sensitivity.

And you can tell people you have "frenulum breve". A Google search on that term might be useful. It's not uncommon, but isn't talked about much.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Im new to this forum & I have a couple of queries with stretching the foreskin, recently I became able to retract the skin behind the head but have since been unable to move the skin down any further. It seems almost immovable & stuck once behind the head. The skin doesn't seem to want to go down the shaft. The other thing I noticed is that the bottom of the head(ridge I think) is not as red as the rest of the head & is a slight greyish colour, could this be due to the fact that the air hasn't been at it? Is this normal?

Hey bud, I wouldn't worry too much about the change in color, I suspect that's about it being covered so much and it'll change in time. Sounds like you need to do just a bit of stretching with the length of your foreskin so that it will easily move over the head of your penis and completely down the shaft. Look around on this thread for information about how best to do that. If you can't find it or need more help just let us know. Main thing is be patient and consistent while doing this, soon you'll see some changes!

Anonymous Unregistered Ive had a very tight 4skin from childhood(So tight my frenulum ripped) (Has now been corrected) Sit in a hot bath for 30mins. Masturbate to get penis fully erect. Gently pull down the 4skin. With the 4skin around the base of the head, tense your pc muscle (This gives a quick surge of blood resulting in a small increase in penis girth. This girth increase is enough to give the tightness of the 4skin a sretch.(imagine having a pee and stopping the flow -thats the PC) Repeat this as many times as is comfortable. Always do it under water in a warm bath. I did this for 6 months and now my foreskin isnt a problem. It's a GODSEND.

I really wanna get rid of this - can't be very nice for any women that might hapen to stumble accross it!! Oh, and one last thing... reading some of the posts in this thread about the foreskin coming so far back during intercourse/oral sex makes me a

bit nervous to be honest! I don't wanna get hurt, lol. Infact, its kind of a putoff, although it probably shouldn't be! Whats best to do? Just get it used to being back so it dosn't hurt, or tell her not to pull it back so far(When the time comes, lol)?! Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Okay guys, this is dead simple, you have a foreskin, 1. i am very envious and 2. you can treat a tight hood easily. Dependant on how tight it is depends on how long this is gonna take. initially all you need to do is when peeing is pull back your foreskin comfortably if it hurts youve gone to far. This could take up to four weeks!! Then as the distance you can retract this gets further then investigate stretching in the bath / bed / toilet when soft or hard (lets face it we all enjoy playing with it). Once you can fully retract your foreskin you can pull it back fully on a daily basis to rinse it and keep it clean. If you stop doing this retraction daily after 2 weeks you could be back to having a tight foreskin. If your skin goes to far and becomes trapped all you have to do is squeeze your glans tightly and this will remove the blood from it so you can push it back under your foreskin. I would also like to point out that anyone under 20 years old could still have an attached foreskin. At birth the foreskin is attached to the glans (bell-end / helmet) and gradually releases as the penis grows with time. There is no specified time as to how long this will take. If it all gets to much and you go to the doctor YOU DO NOT NEED A CIRCUMCISION (rant over) you need a topical steroid cream to massage into the skin to help stretch it. This is why I am circumcised (I was 3) Hope this helps you all

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hmmmm, sounds like you have a proper phimosis issue. Dependant on who you see they will either recommend circumcision NO!dont do it and dont let them do it. A dorsal slit (this makes your dick look really messy, hardly good for the changing rooms at the gym) or stretching. As i previousley mentioned the steriod cream helps (betnovate/dermovate) this can be used in conjunction with initially cotton bud sticks and then on to a surgical spreader (a pair of blunt pliers that open up as you close the handles) these are inserted into the opening with the cream and gentle tension apllied then sit like this for an hour and relax next day same again, you should start to see things moving. If you cant get any further or it bleeds or is just refusing to move then that could be an indicator of BDX (ballantines) this needs treatment by a specialist urologist not some GP and local hospital. Are you US or UK based, this will help in identifying your possible routes of treatment. Hope this helped Jacob

The skin of the penis should be able to be drawn right back to expose all of the glans and the frenulum underneath.

Hi, First a little background - I'm 18 and suffer from a tight foreskin - never pulled it back before. I've started doing the stretching in the bath and am making some progress. Obviously it's very sensitive when pulled back, and theres quite a big of smegma down there - all of which I have reached so far seems to wash away upon contact with water. Unfortunately theres some very hard smegma (at least I assume it is smegma) around the top of the foreskin (only visible when I start to pull back). Any ideas on how to remove this, as I can't really see it budging. So far it seems the frenulum side of the skin is retracting the least, hopefully this is natural and it's not a 'short frenulum' case. I've recently started going out with a girl and I imagine we'll have sex sometime in the next month or two, so I'm pretty anxious about it all. Hohum Any advice welcome.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Okay, when you say at the top of the foreskin do you mean around your meteus (pee hole) or further down (behing the glands) It sounds like you could have calcified smegma, not much to panic about but needs a bit more work to remove. 1st you need to work the head of your penis from the outside massage the head and glans all round in a hot bath, this should give you some idea of the qty and location of the trouble.

2nd you will then need baby oil or something similar this helps to soften it up and make it more comforttable to remove. Put some oil on the end of a cotton bud and gently thats real gently start to work away at the edge of the hard stuff, rest for a minute or two to let it all soak in and then go at it again, you should start to feel it move around a bit, with the possibilty that some of it will break away. If you have real issues getting this stuff off, keep up the stretching but go and see your doctor. He will be able to offer prescription creams to help remove this stuff. He may suggest circumcision. Dont let em touch it, until you have experienced the fluid motion of your foreskin. Then you can make up your own mind, a circ will not cure it, its just easier for the doctors As for the tight frenulum, lets worry about that one in a few days / weeks Hope this helps, let me know when youve tried it for the first time, as to how it went Jacob1

Firstly, thank you very much for replying. The hard smegma extends no more than 1cm down from the top (at least, what I have discovered so far). It is really quite hard; I've just been picking at it with no luck at all. I'll try tomorrow morning in the bath. Quote from a site :

Offline

"Without correct treatment, ill health of the foreskin is liable to worsen --formation of smegma continues and, without outlet or access for cleansing, deposits collect and harden within the foreskin cavity. Such compact masses of smegma can lead to chronic disease, and even prepare the way for cancerous changes. Cancer of the penis is not common in the United States but is frequent in certain tropical countries. It is almost always associated with uncleanliness and longstanding ill health of the penis. Usually, a preceding phimosis is present. Since the tumor commonly develops with such a closed foreskin cavity, it has

been considered that retained smegma could be the cancer-inducing agent."

This really doesn't instil me with confidence. Argh. PS. I'm in the UK also so doubt the docs will be eager to dive in with the cut.

I suspect the cancer-inducing agents come from the result of bacteria infecting the smegma. At 18, it's extremely unlikely that there would be a cancer. But do keep working at it (gently though, don't hurt yourself ripping it off). Patience is the key.

Top #409 - 05/26/04 06:39 PM

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered tamale, sounds like there are 2 things you need to start doing. 1. Stretching the skin of the foreskin should retract fully and go forward fully when erect or soft with no restriction of movement. 2. Putting on a condom. You need to pull your foreskin back as far as possibe roll the condom over the head and down the shaft, when you get as far as possible let all the skin roll forward (with the condom lining the inside of the foreskin and continue to roll the condom down the remaining shaft. Contrary to popular playground belief they are not that long to accomodate well enodwed men but are for the purpose of rolling out as specified. Let us know how you get on. Jacob1

Hello again. Firstly, some good news, I managed to get quite a lot of the hardened smegma off this morning by putting the shower on its most concentrated nozzle and blasting it off Still some left in more delicate places but I will persist. Secondly, another question. Say you are stretching and attempting to retract whilst flaccid. Is it normal for the foreskin to jump straight back to the top when you let go? Obviously this is caused by the fren, but will this stop once it has stretched some more? Thanks.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hello, Blasted with a shower Head OUCH!!!! if you could clarify does your skin retract when your hard or do you have that much skin its always wanting to go forward!

Whatever the case its obvious you are making progress, following on from the previous advice using oil, might I suggest you apply some in the morning (after your bath) and let it soak all day. With your elastic foreskin I cant see any problems with oil getting everywhere. And as to it pinging back so quickly thats normal function, the stretching may slow it down a bit but nothing to worry about there. And could I make a final suggestion when all the smegma is gone and things are functioning correctly, retract your foreskin when you pee, as fully as possible this will keep the tightness from returning. Let us all know how you get on Jacob

Thanks again guys. It was just that I read elsewhere that it 'pinging' back over so quickly was a sure sign you had a tight frenulum and needed a frenuloplasty. The opening is currently much too tight to retract when hard, when I'm flaccid I can retract the skin over maybe half the head but it pings back quickly. The pain wasn't that bad as I was only really holding the foreskin out and protecting the rest

The best thing i found to do is dont pick at it, when you are in the bath or shower is the best place, specifically the shower, pull the foreskin back and leave it back so the water can run over it for a minute, then cup some soapy water at your waistline and let it rundown over the head, then scrub it gently, do this every day and it should be gone in 5 or 6 days, and then every day you are in the shower to keep it clean, this will stretch the foreskin, clean away the smegma, and de-sensitise the head...no worries...

It's just a matter of what the glans is used to. With time it will get less sensitive. There's another poster who also finds that if he urinates with the foreskin back it goes all over the place. But "flowing straight out kinda like a jet" sounds normal to me. Perhaps you have a wide meatus (the hole at the end of the glans).

That seems pretty normal to me. Most of us have to be careful with our aim. Perhaps you mean that it comes out horizontally even when the penis is limp, but for those of us, like myself, who are very short when limp, that's also normal. There's really only a problem if it sprays out in several directions at once.

>> Perhaps you mean that it comes out horizontally even when the penis is limp Yeah, but thats only when i do it with the foreskin pulled back. Otherwise it comes out in an ok manner and the flow is controllable. (when i urinate with the foreskin pulled back the pee just sprays out with a lot of force when I want to stop) Also to desensitize the glans is it ok to try and keep the foreskin back for as much time as possible? I tried doing that, because of my fairly tight briefs the foreskin stays back for maybe 15 minutes and then begins to roll back. And I can't understand.....is the ultimate aim of all

Offline

these stretching exercises just to allow the foreskin to roll back during sex, or to permanently keep the foreskin back? Thanks, I'm just a little confused now.

Hey bud, you want that foreskin to move freely over the head of your penis for cleaning and sex purposes. During masturbation or sexual intercourse it should move freely over the head and onto the shaft. The head of your penis (glans) will be supersensitive for a while because it has been covered or stayed covered the majority of the time. The more you stimlulate it, touch or rub it...the less sensitive it will be. And by keeping the foreskin retracted and allowing it to "breath" like that is fine as well. And no, it won't ever stay down behind the head!

Lance, thanks alot for the advice! My foreskin doesnt have any problems being pulled back, and i never had a problem with that. My worry was about while having sex (though i haven't had it yet!) that the glans would get exposed (every time i get an erection it is exposed, unless its particularly soft one), causing me pain. I've begun trying to desensitize my glans, this morning while having my shower i let water fall on it, also been rubbing it a lot.....hope itdoesnt take much time! Keeping the foreskin retracted hopefully will be easy to do cause i can pull it back every time i'm alone or go to pee. Thanks again for the help!

Its really up to parents to help us figure this out in my opinion.

Hi again. I now have some steroid cream from the docs. Could anyone comment on how and when to apply it, and also about some of the problems with it? I've heard about it thinning the skin but no specific details. First of all, the whitish bumps that I thought were dried smegma (and that I thought I'd had success removing), I hadn't. I showed the doc as best I could, and he said it was scarring. I'm not so sure, I'm now pretty worried I have BXO. It fits the description of what I've read and although it doesn't look like most pictures I've seen, it maybe looks like one or two. I'm gonna go back to the docs and get referred to a urologist. I hate all of this

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hey, recently i tried pulling my foreskin back but i struggled a little. I didn't know about pulling the foreskin back until i first saw this post. I'm 15 and i wanna start cleaning my penis properly. I tried pulling my foreskin back but when i tried to wriggle my finger inside the foreskin to pull it over the head, i struggled to get a good grip to pull it over. If anyone has any tips on how to stretch my foreskin it would be greatly appreciated since it seems very tight, i dunno whether it is infact very tight or it just seems that way since i'm kinda scared and it's my first try...

Foreskin/Frenulum/Intercose question: Ok, my girlfriend and I have decided to have sex. I have yet to pull back my fore skin all the way over the head. IF I go ahead with sex, will the frenulum tear because it is not streched enough yet? _________________________ ~The future belongs in the hands of those who believe in the beauty of their dreams~

Hey bud, unless you're really agressive, you shouldn't tear the frenulum. If you wear a condom (suggested!) it would add a layer of protection as well.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Well, let me say I'm brand new to these boards and I felt that I should give my input because of all the useful advise I have found in this thread. Background: 22 y/o, born in latin america (were about 80%-90% of males are uncut). I have never have problems with esmegma... I don't produce much of it. Since very early age (even before I could take a shower by myself), my momalways told me to wash my penis and to retract my foreskin. It is just part of the culture as most people is uncut in here. I have always been concerned with the size and form of my penis. Here's my first advice: younger people should NOT worry about size, there's NO exercise, NO food and NO easy way to make it bigger or smaller. If you eat well and you are not starving yourself you should grow to your full extent at some point before you reach 20 y/o How to retract your foreskin? Well, I had never had problems retracting my foreskin when it is flacid. An easy way to do it is to hold your penis on the base, hold it with your thumb, index and middle finger (like if they were tweezers), the pull down little by little, like if it was a long sock, you can also use both hands if you please, like if you were pulling on rope, one hand. This is the most gentle way that I found to retract my foreskin. This was useful for me because it teached me how far down I could go. Now when erect I was never able to retract it all the way behind the head until recently. Why? because it was tight and it would hurt a lot if I tried. But I'll go into that in a second. How do you clean it? If you are lucky enough you will have no problems retracting your skin when you are flaccid. If you can retract it, the battle is half-won, just let the water run on it, while it could be sensitive you HAVE TO TOUCH THE HEAD OF YOUR PENIS. Go easy on it... Just rub it a bit and touch so you can see it, use water/lubricant to make it easier to the touch. Normally I just move around my penis and it is done (20-30 seconds), but occasional I have to rub my head and behind the corona (the area that splits the head from the shaft) to "peel off" a white residue. It looks like dried glue in your hand, the same white glue that we used in 1st grade. It is not nearly as sticky (at least for me) but you should see the resemblance.

What to do when you can't retract your skin? Well, for me it was a big concern because I couldn't retract it when I was erect, but with time you can do it. At first I thought I would be able to do it with time, but after a couple of years I realized that I had to do something about it. Well, I just tried stretching it in the funnest way I could found... mostly during masturbation. I just kept pulling it back a little bit more every time (usually before I did it). Another way was to retract it when flaccid and then I would get excited. It would hurt a bit, but you learn how to measure yourself and how you would go... eventually I could hold back my skin, without pain, though it would hurt if I tried to cover my head, I just kept working on it. It took me years (23 years) with this method, but while it was slow, I think it was worth every minute (also I learned it on my own). There are plenty of exercises (read this thread) but I just developed my own system and that's the reason why it took me so long.. Why is the head of my penis so sensitive? Well, let me put it this way. IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE THAT WAY!!!. A clear analogy. How often do you touch your eyeballs with your fingers? If you were contacts you probably do it every day, but you also know that you have to get used to it, it just doesn't happen. Also there are several levels of sensitivity, some can't bare the idea of touching their eyeballs (or glans) while others don't mind playing with their eyes (or glans). Anyways, just keep touching it, the more you touch it the easier it becomes to handle it and the less sensitive it becomes. What happens during puberty/growth? This is for the lady asking what would happen to his son... Anyways, I spent a lot of time looking at my penis because I was very curious about it. One thing you will notice is that the foreskin will be attached to the head during the early ages. During puberty it will become slowly be deattached from the head to give it an adult look. It will be noticeable later on when part of the foreskin is deattach while the other part is still in the process. It starts from the front of the penis and the last area to be separated is right next to the frenulum. The young boy should not feel anything as it will just happen and some don't even notice it. I was a always curious because the left half of my foreskin was deattached while the right half was still slightly attacked, but one day when I pulled back my foreskin it just deattached itself. Don't force it, it will happen by itself one day. The difference is not very big, before it is deattached it will look like the skin in between a duck's feet or a bat's win. Just some tissue that connects the gland to the rest of the penis and end in the frenulum.

Here's a site with pictures that can be used as reference on how your penis should look with its foreskin retracted and how to retract it. These are for educational purpose, but discretion is advised. http://net.indra.com/~shredder/intact/anatomy/ http://www.sex-in-human-loving.org/images/anat5.jpeg http://www.geocities.com/midwestwolf/image7.jpg

Hey bud, glad to hear it. The more you work with your foreskin and gently allow it to stretch and move freely over the head and onto the shaft, the less tight it will be. Just be cool, be patient and be consistent in working with things. Everytime you bath, shower masturbate, even pee...just roll it down as far as you can...this will continue stretching that frenulum. Let us know if you need something else.

Hey bud, I may be able to help. Tell me a bit more, is that piece of skin on the underside of your penis, near the head? OR is it on the top side around the "rim" or corona of the head of your penis? Lets start there, if its on the underside near the head...that's supposed to be there, its the frenulum. If it is somewhere else else on the head we're dealing with a skin bridge. Let me know more and we'll see what we can do.

A vertical penis when erect is quite normal. Some erections go straight up, some go up at an angle (probably most common), some go straight out horizontal, and some hang down a bit.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Just like to say thanks for all the advice posted here. It has helpped me alot. Anyway, heres my problems. I'm nearly 16 and have been working on stetching my foreskin. Before I couldn't even get it back over the head when I was soft, now it goes all the way over the head fairly easily when i'm hard. The thing i'm concerned about is I find it alot easier to masturbate when I don't bother pulling the skin back. I have a pretty average penis size (5.5-6inches) This is hard to explain; I grip the shaft but it isnt really long enough to just be touching the shaft unless I hold it right at the bottom. Meaning - with each movement my hand would touch the head

of my penis which isn't really very comfortable. Is this normal or do I just have a short shaft? and will this become more comfortable when the foreskin isn't so tight and the head is less sensitive? Oh and I find it a lot easier to cum when the foreskin isnt pulled back. Guess im worried that if I pull the foreskin back when having sex I won't be able to cum. One more question; Ive been tryin to get the foreskin further down the shaft with abit of success... but I think I have a short frenulum so its pulling the head of the penis down 2wards the ground (think someone mentioned a problem like this earlier) Its perfectly normal when the foreskin is just behind the head, its only when I try and pull the skin further down the shaft. Anyway, thanks in advance for any help =)

The forskin just behind the head is just fine. As far as masturbation is concerned, I think most guys use the forskin as part of masturbation. Meaning the forskin is rolled back and forth over the head with the strokes. Direct contact with the head is definitely not comfortable unless you are using some lubrication.

Hey bud, it is common for there to be some discomfort on the head of your penis and some fear about what may happen if you really stretch it out. That frenulum will become more pliable and easier to expand in length a bit more as you work with moving the foreskin down further onto the shaft. Also, the more you touch, rub, stimulate and expose the head of your penis the less sensitive and more pleasureable it will be. Don't worry too much about hurting things, take it easy and hopefully soon you'll see some ability for that foreskin to move further down on your shaft without problems. You can masturbate any way you'd like. However, you're going to find alot more pleasure when you use that foreskin to move up and down and can involve the head of your penis more...it'll be the pleasure center of your penis at some point.

Hey bud, that piece of skin is called the frenulum and its supposed to be there. Just be patient and keep working with it, the more you stretch it over the head and down the shaft, the farther it will go. In some rare cases a minor surgical procedure is done to release some of the tension. Have you read around on this thread and found the stretching tips? If not, do so and then let me know if you need more help. Just be patient and consistent working with it.

Relax man, it just takes time. Masturbating with the skin rolling back and forth over the head helps as a starter. Later rubbing the head with your (wet)fingers will help. Use some baby oil to help loosen things up.

Hey bud, roll your foreskin back over the head and apply the baby oil directly to the head, particularly on or around the smegma. Let is "soak" and it should loosen it enough so that you can remove it. You'll be fine, as you can just expose the head of your penis to direct stimulation, rubbing, using it in masturbation etc. I'm uncut and know what you're talking about, it can be quite sensitive, even painful at first. However, it'll be the pleasure center of your penis at some point soon!

well baby oil should helpo soften it, but it is an oil and it will trap it. I didn't go back and read but you probably have a had time having any contact with the glans. If you can, rub the glans and foreskin with soap whenin the shower or bath, it will eliminate any oil buildup. Just keep at it. Oh and rinse very bery well from the soap.

Just behind the head is pretty much where it connects back to the shaft. You're almost there. If it gets stuck then you need to squeeze all the blood out of the glans so that you can slip it back. Are you doing this erect or flaccid. It can get really stuck if you have an erection are you are still too tight. what happens is that the blood gets trapped in the glans and it won't go down in size. Thta's why you have to squeeze the whole head if that happens.

That's OK. Eventually you will want to do it when fully erect. Just be careful now that you don't become erect while fully retracted. Thats when it can get stuck if it is still too tight. After getting it retracted and cleaned when flaccid, start retracting when erect so that it fully stretches.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hi all. I had a spark of inspiration or maybe you all ready know. You say to stretch the foreskin it needs to be relaxed by a hot bath. Well, why not instead fill a pint glass 2/3 full (depends on your size) of hot water and practice, in a sense, shagging the pint glass. You will find it good fun and good sexercise. It saves a lot of water, so is good for the environment. Happy shagging.

Anonymous Unregistered Hi, I've been able to clean most of the smegma off now to my amazement. Thanks for the help with using the baby oil it helped. It's still very sensitive and its actually getting less sensitive every day so its going good. There is still one problem however. There is a bit of smegma left and it is stuck to the side of the head. There used to be ALOT stuck there , but as i've been able to get rid of most of the smegma , there is still a little bit stuck to it that seems impossible to get off. It just won't get off. I've rubbed the shit out of the areas (around the rim of the head) with a wet cloth despite the sensitive pain i go through in order to remove it (with the help of baby oil) it seems to slightly come off but I can't seem to remove the rest. Is there another solution to this ? This would probably be my last question as I believe I will be fine after removing this last lot of smegma.

Thanks.

Are you sure that it is a buildup of smegma? You might want to take a look at some pictures of pearly penile papules, often these are in small rows or clusters on the head of our penis. Take a look around and see if that makes sense, if you type that into a search engine you'll probably find some pics on the net. If it is PPP, there isn't anything you can do about it, just part of the equipment for some of us...nothing you did to get them and nothing you can do about them either. No big deal, just another something we deal with (for some of us) Let us know what you find out.

Hey bud, no pain and no gain. You just gotta keep touching, rubbing and exposing it to direct stimulation. Use some hand lotion or something to help make it a bit easier. In time (few weeks to months) it'll be much less sensitive and so much more pleasureable! I promise!

I kinda scrolled through most of the topic so i'm sorry if my question is repeated. I'm 14, and as long as I can remember I've been able to retract my foreskin past the head of my penis and down maybe 1/4-5 of the shaft. I have a little problem with smegma. I did read some posts here and as far as I've noticed my smegma is not hard. Usually when I'm just sitting around and retract my foreskin, I just use toilet paper to wipe the smegma away. I wanted to know how to wash myself in the shower so that the smegma will go away for a longer time because it comes back the evening after I shower. I read some of the tips about baby oil, but since I'm 14 there is no baby oil in my house, and I don't have any money to buy it plus I wouldn't know where to. My shower-head is kinda powerful so I haven't built up the courage to blast my penis with it, and I'm afraid to use soap on my penis (With the foreskin retracted) because of the possibility of soap getting in my urethra, or any other substance I use. Any help would be appreciated.

You can't control how much smegma is produced. The only thing you can do is clean regularly. Daily washing is recommended and you don't have to take a shower to wash your penis either. I do recommend using soap when the forskin is retracted. You just don't rub the soap on the urethra. Just make sure you rinse thoroughly.

If I understand you right, you mean I should use the soap on the shaft (The part I can make the foreskin go past) but not on the head. So my question is, is there any risk in using soap on the exposed shaft? Like the soap going down the shaft skin where I can't retract the foreskin? Thanks & Thanks in advance

The baby oil was largely for loosening hard smegma, which you don't have; and you could use vegetable oil instead.

No I meant wash everything. Shaft, foreskin, head... everything. There is no risk. If you rub soap into your urethra then yeah you can geyt a little burning but even that is pretty minor. You need to rinse the forskin and glans thoroughly to remove all soap before you roll the foreskin back up. This is to prevent any irritation from soap residue.

Thanks sdp, but I'm the kinda guy that is told something, thinks about it for some time, then asks more questions. 1) Since I use one hand to hold back the foreskin, I just try to wash the penis with one hand? & 2) The only kinda soap I saw (Might be other types around), but the only kind I saw was Moisturizing Soap, so I'm not sure if to use that on my penis since it's for skin.

That plan sounds like it would work fine. You want to be sure and wash under the foreskin and around the head of your penis. That moisturizing soap sounds fine as well, your penis isn't going to be affected by soap unless you use something harsh and scrub alot. Just be careful not to really rub any into the area around the opening (urethra) and things should be fine. You may need to do this several times a day as some of us produce more smegma than others and as you get out of puberty, it'll be much less. I remember being a teenager and having to deal with it, now as an adult I very rarely have any visible smegma....but that doesn't mean it isnt' there...we've all got it to some degree.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hi all, I'm 19 and have a very tight foreskin. I'd like to start stretching and wonder if anyone has some tips. I've read through the topic as much as I can and can't see anyonr asking the same as I'm going to. Basically I've tried in the past to stretch with no real results although I've normally given up within a week or two. Basically I need something that I can use to stretch the foreskin. I think I read the use of cotton wool buds being inserted or something? could use? Is there anything similar that I

Is it best to use instruments to stretch the skin or is it adequate to just pull and hold back on the skin? I'm guessing it's the ring of muscle at the end of the penis which is holding it forward so what is the best way of doing it? Also, anyone who sucessfully stretched their foreskin, how long did you stretch for and how often? I'd be grateful for any replies.

Hey bud, I'm uncut too so totally understand what you're dealing with here. First, I wouldn't insert anything in there to help with stretching, too much risk of injury for me and probably not necessary. You say that you've tried stretching in the past without success. Mind telling us what you've tried and give some description as to what is really going on. Is the opening too tight such that it won't slip over the head of your penis when erect or is it more

Offline

about the frenulum and length of your foreskin? Let us know about this and we can probably help. I will say this though, stretching can be done with success but you have to be patient and work with it consistently until things begin to change. There are some tips we can give you, so get back with us on what you need and then we'll go to work!

Hey bud, glad to be of some help. The head of your penis is going to be super sensitive for a while, that's cuz it was covered for so long and stays that way most of the time. You'll need to just work through that "pain" and keep touching, rubbing and directly exposing it to touch. Use some lubrication to help your hand move easily around on it. In time it'll be much less sensitive and will be incredibly pleasureable...just like that area around your frenulum. Just give it some time, you'll see!

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hi lance, thanks for your reply. In the past I have tried stretching the skin by just pulling it back for about 5 minutes a day. This go to become more of a hassle to do each time. The opening is very small which causes "ballooning" (although not painful in anyway). I think the problem is with the very tip of the foreskin being too tight...

OK bud, here goes...you've got some work to do with that opening and when done you'll be glad you spent some time doing this! You need to enlarge the opening of your foreskin, its pretty easy to do, just requires some attention. I'd suggest that you do this while taking warm/hot soaking baths as it makes the foreskin more easily stretched. Start by pulling the foreskin out away from your body (over the head of your penis) Gently enlarge the opening. You can do this by inserting a finger inside and making circular motions, each one bigger than the last. Or you can tug or pull on each side of the foreskin a bit until you can get a finger inside. Do this repeatedly and daily for as long as it takes to enlarge the opening. THe goal is for that foreskin to slip over the head of your penis and onto the shaft without problems when erect. This may take several weeks or even longer. Just do it and do it consistently. Let me know about your progress and please be patient, you'll be fine. Also, feel free to use the PM system if you've got questions you don't want to be so public here in the thread. Good luck and get to work!

When I was about 11, I began to pull back on my foreskin which would not clear my head. I would pull back and it would hurt. When It eventually cleared my head, there was a tight piece of skin which attatched my head (just under the pee hole) to the rest of the fore skin when pulled back. I eventually managed to pull the foreskin enough so that that the skin whick attatched both of them tore (and bled). Of course, it healed soon after. _________________________ Fathers, fight for your children!!!

That was your frenulum that you tore. It's supposed to be there, to pull the foreskin back over the head. Occasionally it is too short and does interfere with retraction.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hello All, I have just found this page, wish I would have found it years ago. I am currently 21 and was not aware that the foreskin was SUPPOSED to retract until I was 17 or 18. I looked on the net for a while and found some stretching stuff but not as good as what you have here. When I started I had an opening of maybe a 1/4 inch at most, I can now retract fully flacid so I can at least clean. I found tons of smegma build up, considering I never retracted that far ever not really surprising as I am kind of educated on the subject now. The oil advice worked well, most is gone. I didn't have baby oil or vegatable oil but I did find some canola oil, worked well also. I still have a ways to go, but I'm sure it won't be much longer. I started maybe February of this year and its August so I've been at it for a while, but with great success. It is very sensative, but getting better. I just want to tell the younger kids going through this that you are not alone, I have 5 or more years on some of you and I'm still not sexually active. Once I learned about the retracting thing I wanted to wait till I could. Keep at it, don't hurt yourselves, and Good Luck! You guys that are regulars in this topic I give you alot of credit, knowing that there are people out here like you guys makes me feel better, because in the the US, this is nowhere near common info. Since my bro and my dad are cut I had no guidance whatsoever. Thank You, Turd

P.S. I hope to help out a bit when I can, seems to be alot of advice that needs to be given.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered Hi, sorry if this has been asked before but my computer and connection are so damn slow that it takes forever to navigate the topic. I'm 17 and I've never been able to fully retract my foreskin because of a string of skin inbetween the tip and the base of the head which is probably the frenulum, I think it's too short or something and after looking at pictures on the net it seems to be attached higher up than normal- inbetween the tip and base whereas most I've seen seem to be attached nearer the base. If I stretch it it is likely to snap, is that a bad thing and what would happen then? Also I've read that you can have an operation to remove it and have it attached lower down. I'm not sure what to do so any advice would be really appreciated.

Well basically you just need to spend time stretching it out. You would want to do it when erect, and then your retract and pull down until it is stretched tight to where it is almost painful. You would want to keep it there as long as you can. Keep on repeating this process every day. Take some breaks to let things settle down. You can also have a doctor snip it if you can't get it stretched out after an extended period.

Re: Stretching the foreskin

Anonymous Unregistered I've been stretching my foreskin for a long time now and at last I think i'm almost there. I can easily retract the foreskin over the head when erect and it doesn't feel tight. Just 1 or 2 things; I can easily get the foreskin back over the head when the glans are fully pumped and don't need 2 squeeze them or anything...but if im masturbating with the foreskin retracted the foreskin doesn't roll freely back and forth over the head with each hand movement. Usually i just push the foreskin further down the shaft up 2wards the head and it goes over the top of the foreskin resting just behind the head (make sense?) Before I wasn't getting any pleasure out of masturbating with the foreskin retracted and it was almost impossible to have an orgasm. However, now im starting to get some pleasure out of it and can usually have an orgasm...but I still get more pleasure while masturbating without retracting the foreskin and can make myself cum ALOT faster. I think the reason i'm still not getting much pleasure out of masturbating with the foreskin retracted is because the head is still a little sensitive (altho that doesn't need much more work) I guess what I wanna know is; when guys masturbate does the foreskin usually roll back and 4 over the head easily with each hand movement? or is it like whats happening with me? Or do some of you not retract the foreskin at all while masturbating? 1 more thing; even tho my foreskin is pretty loose now (doesn't even feel tight while I cum with the foreskin retracted) I still have a short frenulum (sp?) so the foreskin rests nicely behind the head but doesn't go much further down the shaft. What i'm worried about is; if i'm having sexual intercourse, is the foreskin going to be forced further down the shaft and possibly tear the frenulum? or will it just stay nicely behind the head? Sorry, this kinda turned in2 a long post. Any feed back is much appreciated

Now I can get it over the tip of the head very easily. Question 1: Sensitivity, when does this generally settle, it hurts to touch it at all. Question 2: I've been reading about Smegma, I've never cleaned there before, infact I didn't know the stuff existed untill recently, I don't seem to have anything white on my head at all as far as I can see, although I've only got half way down, would it be farther down the head around the glans ? I've also got no smell pulling the foreskin back. Thanks if anyone can answer this, it's probably been asked about a thousand times but I may as well ask again.

If you carry on with the stretching techniques, eventually within a couple of months it will get easier time and patience.

Offline I dont think you can actually put a time limit on how long it will take to settle down. In time and the more exposure (even just with air drying it out a little from time to time) the sensitivity will become less.

I would recommend seeming that you havent really cleaned it before properly for twice or three times a day cleaning. Although you dont seem to be showing any signs of smegma build up, it will also help with the sensitivity. Using a mild soap with plenty of warm water, then going to once a day after a few weeks, any more than leaving it one day once you can pull it back freely is usually fatal for smells to start building up.

The inner foreskin attaches just behind the head. So basically you pull back far enough to clean to where the skin attaches to the shaft.

A couple of weeks or R & R for the poor little bugger! You could try something like germolene antiseptic ointment, as it would also help ease the pain (bud have a read of the destructions, I can't remember if you can use it near "sensitive" parts of the body, but I can't see it being a problem), if after a couple of weeks without action and rest it still hurts. A trip to your doc may be in order.

I went to the docs and i'm booked for a partial circumcisiion in a few months which i didn't want but saw as my only option - and for the time being i have some Dermovate cream which i'm using while trying stretching exersizes. My question is: I'm currently stretching while lying in bed, once or twice a day. I pull the forskin as far down the head as comfortably possible (a few cm) so it is being stretched and leave it there for 8 or 10 minutes (til i get bored of holding it back). Is this likely to work? Should I be pullin the skin back and forth rather than just holding it? If I do it in the bath wont that just mean that it'll be easier to go back in the bath but no change in real life (like somebody else on the board said)? I've been with my girlfriend for over a year and we really want to sleep together, I just want this problem to go away! Is the operation going to be the best solution?

Hey bud, sounds like what you're doing could help. The purpose for the bath is that hot/warm water will make the foreskin more easily stretched and easier to work with. When done consistently this will help enlarge the opening of your foreskin..which is what you want to have happen. That pain you're feeling, is it because the head is so sensitive? IF so, that's really common and the more you expose the head of your penis to direct simulation, the less sensitive it'll be. As you stretch what you want to do is make the opening larger so that it'll easily slip over the head of your penis when erect and stay there, or move easily up and down on the shaft. I'll be glad to help give more specifics if you haven't found them on the board. Work at this daily and I hope you won't have to go through with that partical circumcision, it may not be necessary at all. So get to work and maybe you can keep that all important piece of skin.

Hey bud, that "dealie" under the head of your penis is called the frenulum, sounds like the "injury" you had a couple of years ago was because your g/f pulled it out too far and it may have torn a bit ago. Your foreskin can be stretched to allow it to easily move over the head of your penis and onto the shaft when you're erect. I'd suggest that you go all the way back on this thread to the first one that I posted. there you'll find some helpful tips on stretching and how to best do it. If you need more help or have other questions, please don't hesitate to let us know. you'll be just fine, this is a common thing to deal with for us uncut guys.

"2. Putting on a condom. You need to pull your foreskin back as far as possibe roll the condom over the head and down the shaft, when you get as far as possible let all the skin roll forward (with the condom lining the inside of the foreskin and continue to roll the condom down the remaining shaft. " OK someone said the above, but I can't work out how that works? what do u mean the condom lining the inside of the foreskin?

No question is stupid or dumb here. Smegma is a naturally occuring lubricant that is common among uncut guys. Often it collects under the foreskin and will appear as a yellowish clumpy substance and it has quite the smell. This is easily taken care of by retracting the foreskin and cleaning under there at least once a day, more if needed.

Sex without a retracted forskin is like rubbing yourself through your clothes. The sensation is not the same as touching your skin directly. Yes you can heva sex without being able to retract but you risk forcible retraction which can cause tears in the foreskin or having it get stuck behind the head. Not to mention the hygiene issues.

As an uncut guy....all of the pleasure of my penis is in the head and just on the underside of it near the frenulum. Without it moving easily on the head and onto the shaft while thrusting, I might as well not be doing anything at all. And, if you're wearing a condom, you should really retract the foreskin and then put on the condom...it'll help with the pleasure and prevent the condom for as much tearing risk. And finally because penetration is just a bit easier when there is the "firm" pointed shape of the head, then shaft...

That's fine.. it's your choice. You can go ahead and deal with the ridiculous pain when you have sex without a condom and the vagina gets dry and your forskin is forced back. When it gets stuck behind the head and you freak out. Or when the forskin or frenulum tears becasue it was too tight. Go ahead and avoid the issue.

Hi! I have a problem pulling down my foreskin, that i gave up a long time ago. I am 39, and the foreskin is very tight. I read that it is easy to retract the foreskin, everytime i tried in the bath, or shower. It would hurt tremendously, pulling it a little bit, enough to see the slit, of the head of the penis. I went to a Urologist, actually 2 Urologists, they told me that i need a Circumcision. I once talked to a woman from the computer on the phone, she was telling me that her husband was uncut, and it didn't bother him, when he was fully aroused, the foreskin retracted on it's own naturally! Got any advice on what to do, will it retract at all in time with soap and water, stretching the foreskin??? I am not certain! Cobra

At 39, you'll probably have a hard time stretching it out enough to be able to retract easily. You can try, but from what you say, it seems really tight and is a condition called phimosis. There are other options than a full circumsision. One of the options is a dorsal slit, where the forskin is cut so that it loosen the ring that is preventing retraction.

Hello, read all the posts and have had some success with stretching . I can get the foreskin back over the glans when flaccid now, so can clean. But im having trouble stretching it enough to be able to retract when erect. I was just wondering if there is anything apart from the hormone creams that could be used to help.....would applying a moisturizer for example help loosen the skin?

http://www.healthboards.com/boards/mens-health/178155-stretching-fix-tight-foreskin-phimosis.html
Many men come to this site seeking help for tight foreskin problems. To avoid constant repetition I have tried to write instructions in one place. ANATOMY The penis has a number of structures that you should know. The head of the penis is called the glans. The foreskin is also called the prepuce. It is attached under the pee hole or meatus by a y-shaped piece of skin called the fraenulum or frenulum. The frenulum is similar in structure to the one under the tongue and has an important sexual function. The fraenular band is the tight bit at the foreskin opening that is being stretched in this case. PHIMOSIS Phimosis may be mild or severe. Some men can retract their foreskin easily when their penis is flaccid (soft) but experience difficulty when erect. In others the opening is so tight that they can only see a tiny bit of their glans when they pull back on their foreskin. WHY BOTHER TO STRETCH Although some men manage to live with phimosis there are some disadvantages to having a non-retractable foreskin. Firstly it is hard to clean and may smell. The body produces a white substance called smegma that collects under the foreskin and in the folds of female genitalia. Smegma usually does no harm but it is susceptible to infections that can cause pain and/or odours. Secondly having sex with the foreskin forward reduces sexual sensations. Thirdly many men with tight foreskins complain that sex without a condom is painful as the foreskin may be forced back during sex. BETAMETHASONE You can ask your doctor to prescribe Betamethasone 1% ointment. A tiny amount of this ointment can be applied to the tight part of the foreskin. It will speed up the stretching process but wont do anything on its own, without stretching. Stretching will still work without the ointment, just more slowly. STRETCHING TECHNIQUE ONE If the foreskin is very tight the simplest method is to pull back on the skin (easiest with an erection) so that the opening feels tight without real pain. Hold that for a few minutes and repeat a few times. Do this a couple of times a day. Soaking in a warm bath will make the skin easier to stretch. If the opening becomes sore, or develops splits, stop and let things heal up. Going at it too fast will only slow things down in the end. Once the opening is big enough to just fit over the rim of the glans when erect the foreskin is at risk of getting stuck behind it. If this happens paraphimosis may develop. Stretching technique two avoids this risk.

PARAPHIMOSIS Paraphimosis occurs when the foreskin gets stuck behind the glans of an erect penis,

trapping the blood that causes the erection in the glans and causing swelling of the foreskin itself. If the foreskin becomes stuck squeeze the head of the penis firmly to force the blood out and try and ease the foreskin forward. If after many tries you still cant do this see a doctor or ER fast. This is uncommon but you should be warned. STRETCHING TECHNIQUE TWO You can either grab each side of the foreskin opening (with the foreskin forward) and gently pull on each side of the opening or, even better, insert the ends of two fingers, even the little fingers and pull them gently apart. Stretch the opening in this way until it feels uncomfortably stretched but not actually painful. Hold and repeat as for method one. Once again this is best done after soaking in a warm bath. SENSITIVITY As you stretch and are able to expose more of the glans you may find that it is very sensitive or even painful to touch. You will find it less painful the more you expose and use it and gradually the over-sensitivity will lessen. A gentle way to start touching the head is by using the shower spray. Also use lube when touching the head directly. SMEGMA BUILD UP As you stretch and are able to expose more of the head you may discover a build up of smegma. This may even contain hard lumps that are hard to remove. Soften them with a light vegetable oil or a non-scented, oily cream such as sorbolene or vitamin E cream. The smegma and softening agent can then be removed with a mild non-scented soap followed by a thorough rinse with plain water. A number of applications over a period of time may be necessary before the build up is cleaned away. Once it is then simple rinsing with plain water every day is enough to keep most penises clean and fresh. Some men can use soap daily but others find it upsets the natural balance and can actually cause infections or irritation. TIGHT FRAENULUM Sometimes the cause of difficulty in retracting the foreskin is not a tight foreskin opening but a short fraenulum (frenulum), also known as fraenulum breve. This can also be stretched though it is sometimes more difficult to do this. You can grab the underside of the foreskin opening and pull out away from your body until you feel the fraenulum stretching. Or if your foreskin opening is large enough you can pull back on the foreskin until you feel the fraenulum stretching. Hold and repeat as in the foreskin opening stretching methods. If the fraenulum cant be stretched then an alternative to circumcision is a frenuloplasty. It is a simple operation that does not remove any tissue but fixes the problem with minimal healing time. KEEP AT IT Keep stretching for a while once you get to the diameter of foreskin opening you want. If you stop too soon it is possible for things to tighten up again. So just keep doing the exercises for a week or two after everything is loose enough to work properly, Geoff

20 Years Old - Never pulled foreskin back before!

DanielTheManiel Hi all,
Registered: 05/04/12 Posts: 10

I was starting to get an intimate relationship with a girl that I really like, and a couple of days ago, we attempted to have intercourse (I'm a virgin). However, as I started to enter her vagina, my foreskin started peeling back and it really hurt, so I pulled out. It got as far as my glans, which was the first time in my life that I have ever seen it. I quickly readjusted my foreskin forward as it really hurt, and tried again, but each time my foreskin peeled back naturally, and I couldn't take the pain. Apparently my parents were supposed to have shown me to peel it back, but I had lived a very sheltered life, so this was the first time I had it pulled back past the head!! I have been googling stretching techniques for it, but I can't even get it the glans exposed again - the best I can pull is just so the very tip is exposed. How can I get over it so at least the glans is exposed again, and will be less sensitive? I'm also now worried about possible infections, but I haven't had any trouble with it yet. Is the best way to stretch it is to continually pull on it daily backwards in the shower? Would this be optimal to do erect or flaccid? (I can't get the foreskin to retract in either scenario!) Also, I have never used any lubricant or oils to masturbate - and they seem to be recommended to be used before trying to stretch my foreskin - where can I get these? Thanks for your help!

Try it under the shower without erection! Use warm water and wait until the skin has relaxed a bit. Then slowly try to roll it back. See if you can for example get 2 fingers under the foreskin. If you can get your 2 indexfingers under it then you can carefully stretch it. But take it slow. I also did it this way and it worked for me. If you're able to pull it behind the glans in a non-erect state then this would already be good because then you could at least clean the glans under the shower. But be careful even if you can pull it back in a non-erect state doesn't mean that you can do it in an erect state, too. It could happen that it gets caught behind the glans and that you cannot roll it back anymore. So first try to work yourself up to being able to roll it back in a limp state and when you've achieved this then keep stretching and see what happens when you become

slightly more erect. If you feel like it's getting too tight you should directly stop and try to pull the foreskin back over the glans. I'd try the stretching for a few weeks but if you don't make any progress you should see a urologist.

Welcome to A2A, DanielTheManiel. For description of stretching exercises, see here. The important thing is you should take it slowly, never force it, and expect it to take some months. If you force it you will tear the skin, and the scar tissue that then forms makes things worse. So take it very easy.

DanielTheManiel Hey Guys,


Registered: 05/04/12 Posts: 10

Just to check back in - I have been doing some stretching and have managed to make progress on my foreskin - I can now get it about 1/3 of the way down the glans while flaccid, however only the top part. However, I'm a bit concerned - since this has happened, I've noticed I actually have another hole at the top of my penis when i pull the foreskin back.. and when I pee, two streams comes out of my penis: one stream from the top one, and one from the regular urethra - and they join together if there is a lot of pee. Also, that top hole is a bit red, like it's inflamed, but it does not hurt when I pee. I also think I ejaculate from that hole as well. Since the last post, I have only had sex with a condom - do you think the redness could be to frequent masturbation/sex?

Hi Daniel, the redness may just be due to irritation from urine. The glans can be red quite normally anyway, as the skin there is just a thin membrane, just like on the lips. Looking at your picture, it looks like you might have a large meatus (pee-hole) that has an adhesion closing it in the middle, breaking it into two holes. That's not uncommon. No treatment is usually needed, but the adhesion can be broken by minor surgery if desired. You would of course need to see a urologist about that.

Just keep up with the stretching. You can wash the smegma off with water. It might be difficult to get off initially, and some rubbing might be needed, however you may be too sensitive to tolerate that at this time.

Yes that is smegma. The only way to clean it is to rub it off.. You'll need to do it eventually. The amount of clumping is quite variable. It all depends on the persons erection length, size of foreskin, lenght of frenulum, etc... In your case it is exaggerated because to have a tight foreskin and have only recently started retracting.

The foreskin is supposed to glide down to bottom of the shaft though right? What are the best ways to stretch it in this case - when's its behind my head, I cant tell which edge of the foreskin to place my index finger behind to stretch. Also, is it possible for smegma to develop on the shaft (aka, could there be smegma on my shaft?), or is it more common only on the glans. Thanks again!

Sorry I had to laugh.... I can remember when I was a young kid, maybe 10-12 years old. I started retracting on my own due to curiosity. I was wondering what the heck is that in there under the foreskin? I remember, I had this fear that that thing inside (the glans) would somehow pop out (and fall out)... What does a kid know about anatomy right? The foreskin attaches to the shaft just behind the head, so the answer to your question about smegma on the shaft is technically NO, unless you want to count that short section behind the glans. You can collect smegma at/on any portion under the foreskin. The foreskin really can't go "all the way" down the shaft. It's generally constricted by the frenulum which is the flesh that attaches the foreskin to the

bottom of the head. The distance that the foreskin can be retracted is generally dictated by the positioning of the frenulum on the head (high/low), length of the frenulum and elasticity of the frenulum.

If the frenulum were cut, retracting further down would be much easier. However, I'm sure you're on a good track and retraction should not be a problem with time. I wouldn't worry about the color. Some of it may be due to the actually stretching itself. You put tension on a surface of skin (glans) and it pushes some of the blood away produceing a greyish color. My theory...

Red means fresh blood. Blue means old blood, or lack of circulation. Because things are still tight, the circulation can be reduced. I wouldn't worry about it.
