I just wanted to know if anyone else is facing a similar issue to me. I have foreskin that covers my entire penis, and I am unable to retract it. My way of masturbation has also become different due to this and I do not do the regular retracting the back and pushing it forward again and I feel this could be the
reason for me not being hard enough during sex. I also don’t find much to any pleasure during sex because I believe the foreskin covers it. Does anyone else face a similar issue? What could be done here? Any suggestions?
Hey dude, it sounds like you have phimosis, and I would suggest prioritise treating this before you even think about sex. I formerly suffered with phimosis, and while you can have surgical treatment (circumcision), I opted for stretching tools to stretch the opening of the foreskin until I was finally able to retract over the head of my penis.
It was such a relief once I had finally achieved this. Unfortunately, I had caused some scarring which to this day impedes me being able to retract it completely smoothly, but it is still a vast improvement compared to how I was before. I also suggest addressing this first as I would worry that penetrative sex could cause scarring to the foreskin, meaning the only alternative would be surgery. I don’t mean to cause worry or panic, but wanted to share my experience in case it will help you
I am in the same boat. I’m 41 and going to get a vasectomy this winter and am strongly considering a circumcision at the same time for a fun filled week of recovery. Me and my wife’s birth control is condoms so has always helped me not have the foreskin yanked. Once back extremely difficult to get back over and hurts like hell. She has to be extremely wet for it not to be an issue. Which my whole life has felt like I have been missing out. Which if i do get it done hoping that it might help with this psychological ED issue I’m suffering now and can just enjoy raw sex post vasectomy. That’s my hope. My sons are all circumcised and any of my friends that are getting ready to have a boy I always have an awkward aside conversation with them about the merits of circumsion. Just have been to afraid to do it myself yet. Have looked into the stretching stuff but also sounds painful to me at least.
This definitely sounds like phimosis. If you’re early enough some steroid cream and stretching could get you free moving again.
I had this and left it too late so needed a circumcision. Was the best thing I ever did. The procedure itself wasn’t that bad cos of the drugs…the recovery was tough though. Probably took 5-6 weeks to get over the worst of it…but no regrets at any level.
Being free of that constriction and pain was like 10 tons being taken off my back. Sexually it was transformative….
Go and see a doctor and get it sorted…you’ll never look back.
