Tight Foreskin (Very)

circhead

haven’t made a regular post like this in a long time. but in case there’s different people here, do any of you guys have tight foreskin or “short” foreskin? and do you do anything or are you going to do anything? what’s it like for you? we’ve had posts like these and i’ve made some before but a quick recap is i have really tight foreskin and a short frenulum. My foreskin also doesn’t cover my head completely even when soft. it was even tighter years ago. i talked about how i couldn’t even retract for my whole life when hard at all. once i started trying to do it it took me years to get there. and since then i’ve stayed where i am, i haven’t had anymore stretch. i can only retract to just over the crown. not only that but if i don’t retract, especially when hard, for a few days, i lose progress so to speak. it becomes another somewhat annoying painful battle to be able to retract to the point where i could before. but while soft i’ve never had trouble retracting to clean or something but never thought to even try to retract when hard growing up.

i was planning on just having my frenulum removed to avoid the full circumcision back when i thought it was only because my frenulum is short so i thought about that so i can have the ability to retract with ease but over the years with the research and learning more it’s obvious its both foreskin and frenulum. i was still leaning more towards the frenectomy but if that doesn’t work the next thing to do is getting circumcised and i really don’t want to have to go back so may as well tough it out and be done with it. i should say though that those are my options at least. i haven’t tried steroid cream. i don’t know why but i get the feeling it wouldn’t work for me and sadly ive seen too many guys say the same thing but not only that, it’s the fact that the steroid cream if anything is for th foreskin. so even if it did work i would have a easier pliable foreskin but still can’t retract because of the frenulum and now we’re back to square one. and the the other option is getting your foreskin slit to have more room. no way am i doing that. it doesn’t look good. and still the issue of the frenulum.

i honestly don’t have the money for it anymore when i was saving up, somthing always comes up. family stuff and so on and i can’t imagine the recovery time. i have a few people i’ve spoken to who had it done and they took it like a pro but i really don’t want to do anything to iritate the new wound. some guys act before they think so they think they are doing well until they mess something up. in the event i got this done i plan on not leaving the house for like a month total lol. i need someone to bring me, and take me back home. and before its all set up i will stock the place with food, water, and all the healing stuf like gauze, and creams and stuff. i just don’t know when or if ill ever do it but its hard (no pun inteded or maybe intended) because i can’t insert it into anything. barely can insert it into a sex toy that ive widen out on purpose and lubed up to test out my progress. my foreskin and frenulum stays in place super tight until sharp pain and eventual rip which i avoid. and its worse when hard obviously because there’s more tention. and risking ripping it means a possible emergency trip to get circumcised in a way that i wouldn’t want to. i used to do things passively to kinda force myself to get circumcised by doing things intact guys shouldn’t but luckily nothing happened. if i get cut i rather do it the right way and not get the emergency kind and then have to go back to make changes.

as much as i have wanted to be circumcised my whole life (long story) if i could retract as easy as say winston burbank for instance:

*Edit (forgot the names so had to find the names of these pornstars so you guys don’t have to figure out who im talking about)

i wouldn’t brother. im sure we are all familiar with him. i wonder if that guy even feels his foreskin or frenulum. it goes back with no problem at all and to the best of my knowledge i don’t think i ever saw him whince in pain. maybe he’s numb? i know his stuff was old but ive seen a lot of them.

other than that i wish i could have a circumcised appearance similar to:

sean lawless:

or alex adams:

but if i was like winston i honestly wouldn’t mind at this point, especially. years ago it would still be an issue for aesthetic reasons but now i could live with myself if i was like that I think.

so do any of you guys have that? any phimosis type stuff? if not consider yourself lucky and thanks for reading.

cut-cocks-are-ugly

circhead My foreskin covers my glans when fully erect, but I can still retract my foreskin very far down my shaft (more than halfway), so no phimosis. However, the only thing is that my ridged band specifically is a little tight, which prevents it from going back further than that without a bit of pain. and also, if I do retract it past my glans, it takes a little bit of effort to unretract it, since it decides to kind of roll into itself. I could easily stretch it and have the “problem” fixed in, like, a month, but it’s a complete non-issue, and I masturbate with my foreskin covering my glans anyway, so there’s no actual reason to. You really shouldn’t count out using a steroid cream without even trying it first, though. Personally, as my name suggests, I think circumcised dicks are fuck-ugly as sin and that uncut cocks look a million times better, and it’s not worth even considering getting circumcised. I know in your mind you think that if you do get circumcised, your dick will look like Sean Lawless’s (which is still ugly, dried out, and boring, like all circumcised dicks), but even pretending that it does look aesthetically pleasing, yours likely isn’t gonna end up looking like his. Trust me, if you don’t like it as it is now, you’re definitely not going to like it circumcised. You’ll just end up doing what every cut guy does where he copes about his mutilation by pretending it’s an improvement, but deep down he regrets it and simply doesn’t want to admit it. I’ve argued with enough cunts to know how universally true this is. Also, you’ve gotta stop believing and perpetuating this idea that cut cocks look better, they just straight up don’t. I’ve never understood how an uncut guy can think such a thing and not even be bothered by the fact that he’s basically insulting himself by doing so. Like, why wouldn’t you choose to believe that your dick is the best-looking dick of all, even if it wasn’t? So, yeah, just continue trying other methods to fix your problem, and then if none of them work… still just don’t circumcised anyway…

On a side note: My dick looks fucking gorgeous with my foreskin fully covering my glans, and if I try to make it resemble a circumcised dick by pulling it back, the less pretty it looks. Like, my dick would look fucking horrendous if it was circumcised.

There’s some cognitive dissonance going on here, and it’s a good step that you’re seeking advice from possibly similar people - and I’ll do my best to field this - but it would probably help you a lot to talk in person to someone you trust, or hell even a therapist. First of all, I understand the borderline body dysmorphia resulting from growing up uncut in America. It takes a lot of self confidence to know and believe that you’re normal - it’s ok to have an unaugmented penis. You don’t have to change to fit in.

I feel it necessary to say this because you seem to frame your issue in this manner…

That being said, you should frame your issue simply with regard to your health. You should only consider altering your penis if there is something medically wrong with it, and in your case, I think it is right to consider this. IT SHOULD NOT HURT TO HAVE SEX OR MASTURBATE! Before making any decisions, consider the following: 1. I assume your case is congenital and not due to chronic fungal/bacterial infection, but if you’re not sure, apply clotrimazole and triple antibiotic ointment for three weeks. (You’re probably fine here, I just want to cover bases for others referencing.) 2. Try noninvasive methods, and be PERSISTENT. If stretching alone hasn’t worked, go to the doctor and get steroid cream (not just OTC hydrocortisone) and apply it and stretch a little every time you piss or shower. Look at it like this: you’d have to apply petroleum jelly or antibiotic to a circumcision wound for months, so you might as well try a serious, disciplined, medicated stretching regimen for at least that long. 3. consider more extreme options -but ONLY after you’ve put considerable effort into 1 and 2: As for the frenulum, several people at [Login to see the link] have described a method of essentially piercing and tying off the most ventral part of the “webbing” of the frenulum to essentially lengthen/remove it. Take extreme caution and be careful of infection though. 4. At some point, if you’ve truly tried everything, get a circumcision. If your quality of sex and masturbation is truly affected by tight foreskin/frenulum (which could also fuel some confidence or body image issues), then you should get surgical correction. This would be one of the only times circumcision is actually medically necessary. But it is painful and the recovery is burdensome, and you’ll have to weigh those costs vs the discomfort while erect.

tldr: dick pain from tight foreskin sucks, change it by noninvasive methods first, but do it right and be dedicated. If you’re 100% sure all else has failed, get circumcised. You’re weighing months of considerable discomfort with years of sexual discomfort.

Best of luck in your decision.

cut-cocks-are-ugly you got it pretty good lol. but yea, i know what you mean and i don’t think mine would look like sean lawless or anything to be clear, i just meant like if i could snap my fingers and pick an aesthetic it would be like his or the other one. its the type i saw a lot growing up, its just a thing from childhood, lot of stuff over being the only one uncut so it kinda stuck with me. but if i could retract as easily as some of you guys like i said i probably wouldn’t care too much. its funny you say yours rolls in onitself because i tried to do that on purpose a lot in the past lol. either hoping it would stay stuck with no problem or cause a problem and need surgery but im glad that never happeed in retrospect. i may end up trying the steroid creams but i still got the short frenulum that has no stretch so i would still need that snipped. a lot of possibilities to consider and as much as i don’t want to i will have to do something in the next few years because other than anxiety its a physical thing too. i just don’t know yet.

thanks for the reply.

My foreskin sounds kind of similar to yours OP, I don’t have full coverage when soft most of the time (unless it’s very cold). I can easily retract when soft but when I’m hard I can’t pull it back behind the head, except if I retract soft and get hard which is very uncomfortable and can only tolerate for thirty seconds or so (I had an ex who enjoyed teasing me like that, she was the rough kind who would attempt to pull it back too far, but the foreskin discussion was hot).

I’ve never suffered serious pain so I’m fortunate in that sense, another ex had vaginismus which was at the same time awkward and arousing, it involved lubing me up and holding my cock against her until she relaxed enough for me to penetrate her, but was still so tight my foreskin would reach the point I couldn’t go further so I had to make slight rocking movements to move the foreskin forward until the point I could make longer strokes.

circhead

nkx yea you have a short skin too. having a girl with vaginismus could make it easier to talk to, I wonder if she would get it more than an average girl

That circumcised guy your photos does have a monster dong and I too wish mine could look like his!

My foreskin fully covers my head when erect with enough overhang that I can’t even see the pee hole if I look down the barrel. I used to have foreskin tightness where I couldn’t pull back the foreskin to reveal the head until I was about 20 years old. It took years of painful and frustrating work to get it to the point where I can retract when soft, and then retract when fully erect. I too have a short frenulum which pulls my head and hurts when foreskin is attempted to be retracted to the max.

Sometimes I see porn where the female grips the cock at the base getting the shaft super tight and then jerks the cock from base to head which looks hot but I couldn’t have done to me due to short frenulum. I’ve also noticed that skin would seem to tighten up if I didn’t retract very often. So I would keep my foreskin pulled back in my boxer briefs which got me to loving the feeling of my head being uncovered. Something about the air and sensation on the head that feels like I’m free. I usually put away my penis in my underpants fully retracted but my foreskin doesn’t stay retracted and goes back to covering the head as I soon as I take off my boxer briefs which I wish it wouldn’t.

I’m an American so every girl I’ve been with has only been with circumcised men and I notice that everyone of them tries to pull the foreskin all the way down to the point of pain on my short frenulum and I have to explain to pull down less and was always too scared to bring up getting something done to the frenulum as I’m scared of anything when it comes to surgery on the penis. All these adult circumcised guys that decided to do for cosmetic reasons have some balls cause I couldn’t imagine going through that as an adult unless I had to for safety of the penis.

circhead

drat I’m American too, believe me I know. I’ve gone through shit whole life. And yea sean lawless aesthetic would be my pick lol. Or alex adams. Even if I wasn’t as big, I prefer a somewhat bigger head, higher scar. Mine grows out a little more like that when retracted for longer periods if time as it dries and somewhat keratinizes but goes back to normal after being covered for periods of time. Like you mine goes back over after I let it go and I don’t wear tight boxers so that never worked for me and I guess it’s just as well because while home I’ve gone hours and hours retracted, sometimes a full day or two but the frenulum and everything in that area gets so swollen that it’s dangerous. Sometimes just after an hour there’s no circulation. I’ve tried to push past it a few times thinking it would work itself out and it was bad. The frenulum got so swollen that after I pushed the foreskin back over it was still sticking out swollen for a day afterwards looking really bad, and getting cold, keeping my foreskin from being natural. I was scared the whole day lol. So yea, it’s just tight.

circhead

drat I thought about making one of those soft rings, or buying one, to keep you retracted. I may still do that. It might even help with stretching but I think if I got circumcised I wouldn’t have too much sensitivity issues because for years now I have felt the bare head in water, bed sheets, clothed, etc. So it would only be the pain of enduring the actual cut and stitches. I just want a free feeling lol I have never felt an erection without this feeling of being in a tight cage the whole time.

Crusnik

I’ve had a short, tight frenulum from my teenage years to many of my young adult years. I could retract my foreskin while soft, though my head would be pulled downward if I pulled back far. I could barely retract my foreskin over the head.

I resolved with persistent gentle, stretching. I would stretch to the point of the mild discomfort and hold it there. I would try to do it in a couple sessions a day, most frequently in the morning with my shower. It completely cleared up the issue. Gentle stretching stimulates the growth of new skin cells, making the frenulum longer and less tight. It’s the same principle that circumcised men use to restore their foreskins, or those earring gauges that were popular a few years back.

Just don’t expect it to all be fixed in a short time. It will take months or even a year to resolve. This may seem like a long time, but stretching is such a small thing to do; it will be over before you know it. Also, don’t stretch too far. If it’s seriously painful, don’t go that far. You want slow, incremental progress. Tearing will only set you back and could create scar tissue that could make the whole process harder. And try to be consistent with it. The better you are about keeping a schedule, the faster you’ll see results.

Crusnik I’ve stretched for about 5 years now, I’ve reached the limit of what I think I can do. But thanks for the tips.

drat

circhead exactly how I feel. I just need that free feeling

circhead

XIX thanks for the reply. ill keep some of these things in mind. and yea, i have no fungal issues or anything like that. just been short and tight since forever. like i said even soft my foreskin covers like half of the head. in fact one of the annoying things i had growing up at least as far as physical stuff goes was the very tip of my dick, like my urethra getting agitated in my clothes while playing. in a very similar way you would hear from some circumcised guys here and there who say the rubbing really aggravated them growing up.

i know about pulled back but thanks. i did a lot of research man, this is a long time worth of stuff just kinda crammed into a single post for old times sake to see any new people here who also have tight foreskin. and it’s about both the aesthetics and medical need. there’s only three options for me and one of them aren’t even a full option at this point, but it’s cream, removing frenulum, or circumcision. and that’s why i’ve been avoiding it lol but it is what it is. like i said if i was like winston burbank or any of you guys with no issue i would settle for being pulled back and move on. i can’t do anything comfortably and that causes a lot of problems and im not even taking into account the way i specifically grew up and all that stuff. i mean soley medical stuff. it’s not fun. thank for the suggestions though.

Okay, I think I have an interesting story for this. I had phimosis when I was younger. It was a mild case and I was able to retract it when flaccid, just not when erect. I also recall being able to force it all the way back while erect on one or two occasions. It was a bit painful, but luckily, it didn’t get stuck.

I inadvertently cured my phimosis without intending to. When I was younger, I didn’t know what circumcision was. When I watched porn, I tended to see circumcised penises a lot and thought it was normal. The theory I came up with was that as I got older, my penis would eventually “outgrow” the foreskin and the tip would become exposed on its own. I decided to try simulating what it was like to have an “adult penis” for a day and I kept the foreskin pulled all the way back throughout the day.

Seems like by keeping it all the way back for so long, the foreskin got stretched out a bit. I also recall getting erections a few times throughout the day and it hurt. I also slept overnight with the foreskin pulled back too. By the morning time, my foreskin was a bit sore but it healed up by the end of the day. I noticed that my foreskin was stretched out a bit and I was able to retract it while erect. Ever since then, I don’t have phimosis anymore.

Fortunately, it doesn’t seem like I sustained any permanent damage from it. I’ve heard stories of men keeping their foreskins pulled back long term and having their penises callous and lose sensitivity.

That’s actually how the foreskin is treated in a lot of Japanese culture. That’s why the term phimosis is often used erroneously in Japanese literature to refer to all circumstances where the foreskin covers the head of the penis.

xevv that’s pretty close to what I did. I have just reached my maximum point of retraction. There’s no further.

Blade69

For me my foreskin is loose. Granted I’ve been masturbating since I was 12. 31 now and it’s had plenty of time to grow and get loose over time. Best thing is try masturbating lightly in a hot shower. It’ll loosen your skin little by little. And while your frenulum is short, the light stretching should you continue should help out.

Trust me keep working at it. Do you want to spend around 1500 dollars to circumcise your penis and have to take a week or two off work or basic functions like walking and standing? Maybe if it’s medical insurance might cover. While I considered it, I’m going to keep my foreskin. Plus my girlfriend doesn’t mind it.

circhead

Blade69 I’ve reached the limit of how much I’ll be able to stretch. I’ve gone from not at all to reaching behind the head while hard for years now. That’s like 5 years ago and into today, everyday. Very tight and short frenulum and tight foreskin. Frenulum is the biggest issue over the tight foreskin. In many ways I may be able to possibly pull back further if it weren’t for my frenulum. They are working against each other.

*Also to any others who many respond with stretching tips, this is a new post but it’s not the first post like this, I just wanted to hear from people who may not have been around years ago and who have a similar thing. I know the post was long so maybe the tone of it was lost a bit but this isn’t a new thing. I appreciate the tips but I’m kinda past that at this point (unfortunately) but I’m glad these things have worked for some of you guys. I mean they better work lol. For me it’s either creams, frenectomy, or circumcision, and nothing else.
