i have a foreskin [not circumsized] and i don't know if it will affect my sex life in the future. i find it very difficult to retract the skin because it hurts when it pull back. i can pull it back.. just it does give some pain. i know most men in america are circumsized.. and i dont know if a uncircumsized penis [especially one that is hard to pull back] give any pleasure to a woman. if any [doctors] has some info on this.. i'd really like some help. is this issue something i should seek professionally? i do not understand how other uncircumsized men can just pull the skin back without pain while i have to go through pain. i am seriously thinking about getting a circumsizing.. suggestions please

foreskin


I don't think there's any medicine for that. *lol*
But good to know it's just something minor and seems easy to fix and he didn't recommend to get cut the full way.
oh okay. well anyways.. i went to a doctor and he said i can get the little "bridge" removed.. so it was nothing to do with stretching out my foreskin.. there is a "bridge" of skin still attached to the head [maybe about.. like 1 cm] that i need to get cut. that way i can pull back the whole way. but he said i can't have sex for a month or something.. wonder if he gives medicine for faster healing
Most of my family is uncut and my brother, son and a few others have had the same issue with a tight skin. Best you can do is stretch the skin and not get the little cut if you don't have to. My son had a very tight skin when he was 14 and got it to open after about a month and he was... well rather big at 14 so maybe he was an exception to the rule. Anyway the best would be stretch it out as you masturbate using your fingers to gently get the skin to slip down.
I was cut despite my parents saying NO and I think the doctor rebelled by cutting me very tight... no matter how hard the skin doesn't move when I'm boned. You can do something about yours I'm stuck with the results for life!

I WISH i were uncircumsized.......but if i were, i'd probably be in your shoes as i have a pretty large cockhead!
That said, there are 2 things you can do:
1) Go to your doctor and talk to him about it. Now, many guys jsut are to uncomfortable exposing their genitals to a doctor - nevermind talk about your most intimate functions. But this IS the best advice. Trust me, you're not going to be the first guy to see him about their "sheath".
2) Self Streaching: This takes time, and patience, but if when you go to the bathroom and when you're erect, you can gently slide your finger under your foreskin and gently streach the skin. Now, don't RIP it, just slowly streach it.......if you do this every day you'll find that your skin WILL streach and make it easier for your foreskin to fold back over your penis head.
You can talk to your doctor about this as well. A friend of mine opted to do this..it took about 3 months, but now his foreskin easily slide back and forth, it was less expensive and painful then surgury and he felt more in control of his body.
Best of luck buddy!
I've never heard the second one. The sensitivity is greater for uncircumcised men, but they say a circumcised man will give a woman more pleasure because the head of the penis is exposed and cause more friction or something like that and the foreskin will not go back over it when moving in and out.
*goes to find those articles back*
Edit: I guess it just depends on what you like. Some say that it's better with circumcised men cause of the friction while others say it's better with uncircumcised men as the extra skin makes it a smoother process.
I've heard two things about uncircumsized men: 1] they have more sensitivity (that the foreskin has many nerves that get lost when it's removed), and 2] that uncircumsized men can be more pleasurable for women... but I have no experience with either of those, they are just what I've heard.
Definitely go see a doctor if you are having pain down there, for whatever reason. And I agree with everybody else, get a second opinion if your doctor first suggests circumcision.
I'm not sure if you lose feeling but over time you will definately lose sensitivity.
I have heard that when a guy gets circumsized that they lose about 75% of their feeling from their penis. I don't know if this is true or not, but it might be something that is interesting to some of you.
Hi Stanisgreat,
No, being uncircumsized should not in any way hinder your sex life. However, it sounds like you are having a foreskin problem.
My first suggestion is DON'T get circumsized. That's a last resort. There are a couple of things you can do first.
The foreskin CAN be stretched. The best place to work on this is in the bath. Take a hot bath or shower (it loosens the skin). During your bath/shower work on stretching the opening of the foreskin and working it back. This takes time. It won't happen overnight... or even a few weeks, maybe months. You have to do it daily and consistently.
If your foreskin is extremely tight, then you may consider a doctor's help. But NOT for circumcision. The doctor should be able to do a small incision to allow the foreskin to retract. It's a very simple procedure. If the doctor immediately suggests circumcision, get a second opinion.
Take care.
My guy is uncircumcised and yes, he can give me pleasure. I also find it fairly easy to please him and uncircumcised men are more sensitive down there. But he has no problem retracting his skin.
I suggest you see a doctor.
Sometimes the skin can't fully retract till a guy is around 16 or 18 years of age. Sometimes, some guys have to have it snipped a little (like a partial circumcision) to be able to retract the skin.
But really, I suggest you go see a doctor. See what he/she says.
However, I'm someone that believes that circumcision should not happen unless it's necessary and if one doctor says that's the only way to go, that you should go get a second opinion.
So anyways, go see one or two, see what they tell you. Make sure you get all your options laid out to you instead of just the "cut it" option.
It depends on the girl.
Some girls say an uncircumcised man is better because it's a "smoother" process and isn't as rough.. while others like a circumcised man because they say it's more rough and therefore provides more pleasure.
So personally, I still say don't get circumcised... not even for her.
She may not be forever and the girl that comes along next may like it the other way around.
Seriously, find out your options first.
Thanks for all your replies! After having read this I am going to seek a doctor [ have a schedule for tuesday ] and also.. I would like some opinions on whether a circumsized man provides more pleasure or not. because to be quite honest [and im not trying to earn props or anything] but I'd muuuuch MUCH rather my girlfriend be happier with the sex than me. If i can get her off.. thats all i really care about. because if i put my mind to it.. I can get myself off in about 15 minutes just by doing her. I purposely drag it out just to try and get her off... if a circumsized man can get a woman to feel more pleasure.. than i would rather be circumsized.. if it makes no difference.. i wouldn't even consider circumsizing. I don't know why I feel that way though, but just making her happy is all I care about. If it takes me longer to get off because I've lost 75% of the feeling, then so be it (if the rumor about circumsized men providing more pleasure).
