Does this hurt for the rest of you?!
Question:
Does this hurt for the rest of you?
I have asked a question before about a tight foreskin, and it has loosened up a little bit, but the tip (The little spikey bit) is VERY sore to even TOUCH. Is this normal?
Don't say 'circumsicion' as if it's the cure to every frickin' penis problem. If you're here to comment on circumcision in a positive way, I don't want to hear it.
Answers:
It shouldn't. But don't think you have an infection or anything.
The tip is just very sensitive because you haven't touched it much before. When you shower slide it back and rub the head (what you can) and eventually it'll get less sensitive as it is touched more.
How do I know this? I had the same exact thing; now I can rub it however and whenever I was and feel pleasure rather than discomfort. =)
As for your tight foreskin, it sounds like you're improving, but I'll repost this if it's of any help.

Some may say that circumcision will fix it, but circumcision's risks include reduction in sensitivity and pleasure, and making masturbation more difficult according to studies (including a few new ones from a few months ago). Oddly enough that's how it was promoted in the USA since masturbation was bad, haha. There's a reason why the USA is the last remaining advanced nation still doing it, and even so, it's getting a lot less popular (it's now as low as 14% in some states). Save that as a last resort, as you're doing. That's only one of the few risks, there's more listed here, in addition to the studies and statistics:

I was the same when I was younger, and now it slides fine with no problems whatsoever. Just pull back your foreskin when you shower the most you can without forcing it, and rub the head. That should encourage it to separate from the head. This is probably all you have to do, since this is common especially with teens. You just haven't 'used' it enough, as in masturbation and washing it. The same goes for sensitivity; the more your rub it the less sensitive it'll get (start using water when you shower then rub a little more each day).
And if its rather tight, you can get a cream that works in almost 95% of cases. It's 0.05% betamethasone or betamethasone dipropionate. And unlike circumcision it is very cheap ($12 in the USA), painless, and you don't risk decreasing sensitivity/pleasure and making masturbation more difficult.

Try that cream. It works. Doctors often just mention circumcision since its a surgery that brings a lot of money to them, especially in the USA.
If you have questions, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

And if you're seeing improvement, that's good. Circumcision does have quite a few risks.

The USA is the last advanced nation doing it, but rates have fallen down from over 90% in the 1960s to as low as 21% here in California currently. From CNN:

Circumcision was actually promoted in the USA at first to stop masturbation (in hopes of it being tight enough to require lubes and not have skin to slide since the foreskin is already moist)
