Tight foreskin..?!
Question: Hi, im 15 y/o and everything is fine down there, except for the fact that my foreskin is too tight and it's impossible to pull back when erect, and its hard to wash, because whenever I do try to wash it, it gets erect and, the foreskin doesnt stay down, also I can imagine this to be a problem later on in life, with sex. Do I need a circumcision, which wouldn't be nice? or are there any other ways?

This is common among young teens and guys who have not tried pulling their foreskin back much, that's because the foreskin is attached to the head when you're young to prevent the head from getting dirty. Usually it separates before puberty, but in your case you have to give it a little help. Now that you probably masturbate and pull it back to wash under it (only takes about less than 10 seconds) it'll start sliding back more and more. If you have a tight foreskin, you can actually stretch it like I did when you shower. It only took a few weeks and it hasn't given me a single problem ever since. =)
Work on getting it less tight. Here's what you do. When you shower and and you're soaping up your body, pull the foreskin back the most you can without forcing it, and then wash the head with the other hand. If you do this each time you shower for a few weeks, you'll see results. It'll slide back a little more every few days.
Now, as for the sensitivity, as studies have proven, the foreskin keeps the head sensitive. That's not a bad thing, since that creates pleasure. However, you don't want it too sensitive. Yours is just too sensitive because it hasn't been used much before. So you just have to rub it gently at first for some weeks (start off with just water and then every few days try to rub a little more) and you'll see the difference. Then you'll be able to rub the head however you want. =) So in a way, those two things are tied.
So yeah, work on it and in a few weeks you'll like it. =) And of course, feel free to e-mail me from my profile if you have any questions!
You do NOT need circumcision. And you have every right to remain uncircumcised, as after all, circumcision does carry risks and most 'benefits' are unfounded or contradicted. Common risks of circumcision are more difficulty with masturbation (it was made popular in the USA to stop masturbation, after all), and lower sensitivity. There's a reason why the USA is the last developed nation doing it to newborns, and our rates are falling; it's as low as 14% in some states by now. Research it more in the link below:

In the end, if the stretching fails after a few weeks, you can ask a doctor for a cream. It's 0.05% betamethasone, which is successful in over 90% of cases. You can even take the study to him. It's a really inexpensive cream; Wal-Mart sells it for $4 with prescription and online you can buy it for about $10 at drugstore.com, for example.

But focus on stretching it first. That should give you results after some time.
Don't worry, a cousin of mine had the same problem. He went to the doctor's and all that is needed is a small slit of the foreskin to be made so it can retract painlessly. No need for circumsision at all... Unless you want to be circumcised...
no, you don't need a circumcision. There are strectching exercises you can do that will help widen the foreskin so you don't have a problem. Do them in the shower and pull back a little bit further every time. If streching doesn't work there are also creams that can help to loosen the foreskin. As a last resort you can get a small incision in the foreskin to help you pull it back. Absolutely no need for a circumcision unless you want one. :) -Neb
no you don't need circumcision
it's totally normal that stage passes after a while.
well that's what we were told in health class. but if you want to stop a erection try to take a piss.

It's common for teens to have a tight foreskin. Like most of the answers above say you don't need a circumcison and simple stretching should solve your problem. Here is a link with instructions: http://w3t.org/u/6wzm
