Phimosis

[ngks]

Hey I think I have phimosis, which is my foreskin cannot retract when my penis is erect because there is this circle of flesh around the head and i think the opening is too small and it hurts when i try to pull back the skin.

Is it still safe to have sex, will it do any damage? is this also an issue if i visit a prostitute?

1) Get yourself circumcised.

2) Prostitutes should be avoided even if your penis is in perfect condition. Commercial sex carries a health risk. A monogomous relationship between two healthy individuals is far safer.

Hi TS,

I used to have the same problem as you but I overcame it eventually.

As our foreskin is rather elastic, and can be softened over a period of time, I did the folllowing:
Whenever the penis is erected, I would pull a little bit of the foreskin away from the tip. It might be painful initially as you feel the foreskin being stretched and almost going to be torn. So do it slowly, stretch a little bit each time, according to your comfort level.

Over a course of a few months, I managed to pull back my foreskin till it's behind the glans or the head, which should be the normal position.

But the most painful stage would be just when the foreskin is pulling away from the entire glan (just before the so-called optimum position), so do it real slow once you have reached that stage.

I actually experienced slight skin tear with a little bit of blood on 1 or 2 occasions only. I thought my dick exploded but actually it was just a minor rupture on the foreskin.

Hope my method will be helpful to you too.

Cheers.

Thanks perhaps I'll try this then if cannot I'll consider circumcision. Was just worried if, other than infection, is there any long term problems with phimosis.

actually i also hv phimosis b4. however same as bro simmy, i overcome this problem already.
the key point is like wat bro simmy said, ur foreskin is kinda elastic, so u hv to work it out to make the opening of ur foreskin become larger.
different from bro simmy, my practice doesnt required ur penis to be erected. wat i did is during shower, i put my 2 index fingers in the inner layer of my foreskin, then both my thumb grab the outer layer of my foreskin, then i stretch it open in different direction until i feel a bit painful, then hold both of my hand there for 1 or 2 min. repeat this for 2 or 3 times during the shower session. if u feel comfortable, u can practice more cycles
slowly practice this for few weeks or months and you will notice that the opening of ur foreskin will become larger and eventually ur foreskin can be fully retract without any problem
however, dun pull your foreskin too hard. stop when u feel a bit painful, or according to ur comfort level
good luck...

Follow simmy advice. U will eventually pull it back. Be fore warned that U will find a lot of dirt behind the skin when the fore skin is pull back for the first time. If still can't, hv to circumcise.
