It would appear that you have some persistent adhesions between your foreskin and the head of your penis. This is fairly common in uncircumcised boys, but at your age it should corrected as soon as possible. Although the adhesions can be broken, so that your foreskin will retract, this is not the best solution and you really should be circumcised. Circumcision will not hurt and you will soon heal and be back to normal, after which you will enjoy all the benefits that only circumcised men can explain - better hygiene, health, comfort, appearance to women, self-esteem and FAR FAR better sexual sensation and pleasure during intercourse (when you are older) for both you and your female partner(s). Also, most mature experienced women, who have tries both circumcised men and uncuts,much prefer a circumcised man as a sexual partner and you will appreciate this when you are older. Ignore the young inexperienced girls and uncircumcised boys who will advise you against circumcision. They cannot possibly have any idea of the benefits and mostly get their "information" from some pretty freaky and weird anti-circumcision propaganda websites.There are NO disadvantages to being circumcised and you should not hesitate to go to your doctor (maybe with your mom or dad) and arrange a circumcision. Good luck
Argh you fell for the circumfetishist? Yikes! Ignore his lies about circumcision (he admits to having had it done TWICE and posts photos of it on his profile) and do some less biased research. Report It

Given that you're only 15 it's most likely your foreskin is just tight this is common in teens and stretching is way better than circumcision Report It

    • I used to have this problem when I was younger, and it wasn't very nice then. I thought, way back then, that it would never be 'normal'. I saw a doctor about it, and he gave me some sensible advice. Just give it time. Keep trying to pull it back everyday, maybe after a shower, just gently. Use some lotion if you need too. Possibly, masturbate more in the 'jerking' motion.

    The foreskin will just stretch, and you'll be fine.
    Follow Andrew's advise. That's what you need to do.
    Sounds like Phimosis. Surgery to correct is simple, out patient, and with few complications. Do talk to a physician regarding this to allay your concerns.

    get circumcised.
    First of all circumcision is usually done when your not even a year old and try evryday pulling it you will soon enough be able to retract
    what ever you do DONT GET circumcised because sex is alot better if you are not circumcised.
    I think there are surgical options other than circumcision.
    There ought to be some method of stretching it....
    But ask your doc
    Andrew has some sage advice. I must also share with you that I experienced much the same when I was younger, I used to have a tighter foreskin that didn't retract easily, much like you. It's good that you know to retract your foreskin, and there are ways of helping it get stretchier. The thing I did, and it worked pretty well, was I practiced stretching in the shower, over and over again each time I showered. The way to do it is to retract your foreskin as far back as it will comfortably go, don't pull it back to the point of pain. Then release it back to normal, and repeat, several times over. Doing this under warm water really helps a lot. You should gradually notice that your foreskin is getting able to retract further and further back, and after a few weeks, it should be able to full retract behind the head. You'll want to clean under it too, as the white stuff, called smegma, is smelly and just plain filthy. Circumcision is not a good answer to this, because circumcision cannot be reversed and you do lose a lot of sensitivity in the process, making masturbation and sex less pleasurable than it is while you are uncut. Just stretch it, and, as scary as this may sound to you, try talking to your dad about it. If he was uncut, he might be able to share his experiences with you and fill you in on how to retract it properly, that way you can learn properly from someone you know and trust. Good luck.
