Hey guys idk how protected this is so im just gonna use the first half of my name. I'm an 18 year old male and only found out last year that my foreskin needed to go over the glans. I went to the doctors the other day and the first thing she said was that I needed a circumcision asap after doing research I realized that i didnt need circumcision but i really would like to get the foreskin down before i start college in a month. Is this possible? Any tips or advice or exercises please guys?

Has this always been the case with you? Is there any irritation? What's the hurry?

OK, you do not need a circumcision, and the foreskin does not have to retract by law. It also does not have to retract of necessity. OK? It's by choice that you may retract for cleaning, but even cleaning is not vital to health. The penis actually works well in keeping itself operational if it is used as intended. In other words, sex and peeing do the maintenance. However, cleaning does tend to keep things from certain odors developing if that's desire.

The first lesson to do is to read this entire first page. Along the way, you'll encounter others just like you and learn what they are doing. You'll also find my post with illustrations and directions on how to approach the task of fixing things. You may have to adapt slightly to work with your particular anatomy, but the basic exercises will work, and they work well for a permanent solution.

The time frame you lay out may not be realistic. That depends upon your present condition and the diligence you show in doing what is necessary. To have success, you must work on this project at least twice daily. A third, midday session would be ideal to add. In addition, work on the frenulum throughout the day after peeing. It's a small investment of time for a lifetime of results.

Are you ready?

BTW, we don't have a clue who you are or where you are, but please continue using your screen name so we can keep you sorted from the rest.

yeah, i've been doing the stretches (minus the two fingers one) that i saw on this page for a couple months now but for only rougly a minute every couple days (discovered this site a while back i just didnt make an account.) When i pull the foreskin away from my body it does kind of like a popping noise when it first comes off the glans is that normal?

Now, increase your efforts. Every other day won't make an impact. You must do no fewer than two sessons per day.

The poppling is probably just air being released.

You on the other hand are "small fry". No-one is particularly interested in hacking around to try and find your identity; the forum is set up not to report your IP address so other than what you choose to reveal, there is no way to identify you. Using your first name only is perfectly sensible (in fact, it's what I do because I choose not to reveal my identity either) and as Jim says, we only really want you to identify enough so we have some idea what is going on when you come back later and tell us how you are going.

That cleared, there really is nothing about being in college that is particularly different to being at home as far as executing a program of stretching goes; even if you are dorming with another fellow you will have plenty of private time and in fact, can simply stretch while lying under the covers in bed, so that gives you two occasions per day for a start. The much more common question about such a "room-mate" situation in college is how to find private time to masturbate.

Now I hope you are not thinking of college as an automatic opportunity for sexual exploration with the young ladies and somehow imagine that foreskin retraction is "necessary" for either manual exploration or intercourse (which must in any case, be with a condom), because that really would demonstrate naïveté on your part.

I am sorry that you encountered such an ignorant doctor. Unfortunately, that's just how the world is, mostly doctors will be very helpful in pointing you in the right direction for health, but - not always.

You need to do the heavy reading here on this discussion board - the information is in many past discussion "threads". Could you also describe how it was that you only realised how the foreskin should work last year - what factors limited your sexual experience before?

haha well ironically, I actually want to be a pediatrician and I took an internship at a hospital in high school and was in the urologist's office and learned a few things and one of those things was that the foreskin should be able to retract. I've also had intercourse before (with a condom obviously) and didnt really experience any pain or discomfort it was just the weird look that some girls would give lol.

Where are you located?

Paediatricians in the US have been among the most frequent practitioners "getting their jollies from" ritual male sexual abuse.

Your reference to "some girls" implies that you have "been around" a bit, and further, that they have themselves "been around" a bit if you are seriously attributing their reactions to the supposed novelty of your foreskin.

Generally speaking, one would anticipate that most young ladies of this age would find any penis worthy of some "weird" looks - particularly in the erect state which they are perhaps less likely to have observed in their brothers (if indeed they have ever routinely been able to observe their brothers in such a perverted, prudish society).

also what does the phimotic ring feel like?

{You attempted to post a picture, but the link you gave was on your own computer!}

lol yeah sorry I couldnt figure out how to upload it and thought I'd had it

im from mass

You're one of about 3,000,000 males there.

haha I live in a small town outside of there. I mean there arent that many widmacs. And thats funny Paul

There are some days when I try doing the stretches that it hurts to pull the foreskin off the glans and pull it forward. Is that bad or am I doing anything wrong?

No, and no.

Hey just keeping you guys updated on the progress. So I made a weird discovery the other day, when I'm flaccid after ejaculating I can get the foreskin about half way down the glans but if I'm flaccid without ejaculating i can barely get the foreskin down. Do you guys have any idea why this is? And also I only have an opening just big enough to see part of the urethra when I'm erect

It's no different from warming up to pitch in baseball. Taking a warm bath should do the same for you.

The things people observe!

While it is exciting (sic.) to you, it has little bearing on the situation. Please note: retraction is no more than the test for progress, you need to be getting those two fingers inside to stretch. Short of this, the largest single finger you can manage at any time.

You are a young fellow. Easily stimulated to get an erection. (Sigh! If only!) In fact, about the only way you can not have some degree of erection if you but think about your penis, is the period shortly after you have had an orgasm and ejaculated when for that short time, you lose all sexual motivation - and the erection that goes with it. So your description is perfectly easily explained.

I can't get two fingers in but ive been doing it with two cotton swabs any thoughts on that?

Those I get wouldn't be strong enough. For now, work in the biggest finger that will fit and move up as the skin relaxes.

as of now they seem to be doing the job stretching unless im not pushing them in deep enough for the stretch
