Im 16 and i have never been able to retract my foreskin when erect or non erect. I have had sex without feeling pain but it is uncomforatble. Circumsion is my last resort and i am looking for a guide on stretching the foreskin. Any advice at all would be very helpful.

thanks joe

This is the direction you need to head:

If you can start doing this, great. If not, you'll need to get something inside to exert some tension on that tight little ring. As recommended in a previous tread, you can use a device such as the barrel from a ball point pen. Use plenty of lube and be careful not to stick it into the urethra. If anything hurts, back off.

I suggest that you read some of the previous threads to guide you along. If you have any question, ask it. We're here to help.

Thanks for following my invitation here Joe - you are lucky you posted an e-mail address (though I realise there are some risks in doing so) because there is simply no way I am going to post on that other site and certainly no way they would permit be to be truthful there. I hope you realise by now what a creepy lot they are there, and how dangerous their supposedly "helpful" advice is.

The diagram Jim cites is our latest "favourite", because until we located this, there was no picture that really illustrated the most important way to fully stretch your foreskin. You may not be able to use it just yet, but you should be able to get there.

To use this site as a resource, you need I am afraid, to read, read, read! Although we are mostly saying the same things over and over again, little ideas and extra comments creep in, and you get to hear how different guys are getting the ideas and progressing.

I regret to say that I have yet to put together "the ultimate guide" to this stretching business, and I haven't yet noted down links to our "best" explanations so far. So there is a lot of stuff, and I think it is a good idea to read it through, especially to get the idea that however difficult it looks right now, it is something you can fix.

So, please do the reading, look at the pictures, all of which happen, by the way, to show a perfectly normal penis, but just so that you can tell us which one best describes how much you can or cannot see of your glans when you do (attempt to) retract, to give us an idea of just what stage you are at, and have a go at the various ideas here, taking due care not do do anything with which you are not confident in the safety of doing it, and tell us how you find it all?
