You have lots of options here dude! :) First, gentle stretching everyday, maybe even several times a day, will gradually loosen it up. If a month or two goes by without much progress, ask your doctor for Betamethasone cream. You use this in conjuction with stretching and it loosen it up in 98% of cases. If stretching and creams don't work, you have still more options- probably the best here would be preputioplasty or lengthening of your frenulum, depending on what the exact problem is. Both are surgical procedures, but very minor and do NOT involve circumcision. If you are in the US I'd reccomend that you read up on these options and present them to your doc when you go in- too many American doc just want to cut first and ask questions later. -Neb

This may be something you want to bring up with a parent. Doctor would be preferable. I would HATE to give bad advice here.

You better get a circumcision done:then all those problems stop.
You can not retract enough and it is going to hurt you,if you are going to engage in sex,and it is normal that the total head can be revealed,to finish my answer.

The foreskin doesn't necessarily have to be fully retracted for you to have sex, masturbate, pee, etc.

Just do it gradually - don't force it and you'll get there.

Talk to your GP about it and he might be able to prescribe you some cream to help you.

Edit: If you can retract this much then I don't really think circumcision is necessary at all, even though some (above), including your GP, may suggest it. I had pinhole phimosis and there was little choice for me - slowly but surely you'll get there.

First, it is not uncommon to have a tight foreskin. So, you need not be overly worried/concerned because it is quite a common occurence amongst many men.

Second, there is no "set/standard" rule that determines how much should the foreskin retract when the penis is erect and hard.

Third, and the happy news for you is that you can practise a bit of exercise with your fingers over your erect penis and try to ease out the tip/head of the penis from its foreskin. Hold your fingers around the head of your penis and stroke it gently and continuously for some time (15-20 minutes or so) and slowly and gradually, the foreskin will get a bit loose and will be able to slide in and out.

In my opinion, the foreskin should be able to slide/slip out from the head of the penis, upto almost half the length of the penis shaft. So long as your head is neatly exposed, you'll be able to have good sex and experience sexual intercourse without any difficulty.

If none of the things work, then you may do well to consult an expert doctor, specialized in male sexual organs. Take the opinion from the doctor about whether there are any other ways/solutions to overcome this "problem" and avoid circumcision.

It would be best get get medical advice. You don't have to take it necessarily. Sometimes the skin can be loosened without full circumcision. Whatever you do, don't force it right back as it can get stuck in the groove behing the head. That is then an emergency.

mine goes all the way back uncovers the Head and goes back a lil more after that maybe you should slowly pull it back little by little till you can pull it back all the way or a way better idea is to go to a doctor and here what they gotta say

dont worry bro i was like this earlier like 12 years old and everyday i would pull a little bit back and luckily i have a tolerance for pain so i would make it hurt a little but now i can pull it all the way back to reveal my head when im dard so just keep pullin it back you dont need to get circumcised over somethin stupid like that.
