Foreskin possible problem.?!

Foreskin possible problem.?

Hi, I’m 19 years old, over the last 2 years have been having sex, it was our first time. During our early relationship she would occasionally pull my foreskin back in foreplay. This would hurt (and wasn't something I was knew could be done) the exposed Glans was dry and harsh on anything it touched so I would pull the foreskin back over. I told her how this hurt and that was that, it was not a remote problem.
We continued to have a good sex life using condoms (for birthcontrol), recently she went on the pill, occasionally the same problem has occurred but we either still use condoms (cleaner after sex) or lubricants.
But a friend told me that it was unnatural not to be able too pull it all back. I've never had any other problems like masturbation, smell etc. I do shower everyday and use the head to get water under the gap to clean. The foreskin does retract but nothing close to uncovering the Glans, about a centimetre. Is this acceptable? normal? Or is something wrong? help is thanked

You should leave it covered. It sounds like it dries up if you pull it back. That's the purpose of the foreskin after all, to keep the head lubricated and covered. You can slide it up and down to rub the head with, though; that feels great.

Um, otherwise, you can work on getting the foreskin to slide back more (to get loose without surgery). It's not that hard; I had the same case. I posted the following in another thread, but it should 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.

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 feel that it's necessary, e-mail me from my profile since I've gone through this. I'll be happy to answer any questions.
