Cant retract foreskin?!
Question:
Cant retract foreskin?
Hey guys,
I cant retract my foreskin (not even a little bit). Im going away on holiday in 5 weeks with some girls and i really want to get this sorted by then.
Ive been looking it up and there are two things it could be. One is phimosis and the other is that the foreskin could still be attached to the penis with a little bit of skin (dont know what the medical term is). Ive tried doing little stretches but it wont budge and i need a quick solution without resorting to circumsision. Can you give me any more information on this problem please? How can i find out which is causing the problem, since i cant get the foreskin down far enough to see if there is skin attaching it to the head. If i were to go to the doctors about this, what should i be asking for (i heard theres creams that help).
Also, when i finaly manage to get my foreskin down, is the head of my penis likely to be really sensitive (to sensitive to use?).
Thank you for any help you can give.

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. 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. 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.
