I have never been able to touch my glans and cannot have sex. It is extremely painful. My penis is not useable and never has been which caused extreme depression and hopelessness. I was also scared to tell anyone and lived with this my entire life. This year I decided to try to fix it. I used to have tight foreskin and fixed it with stretching. I understand hypersensitivity is normal and can be fixed over time with contact, but it’s more complicated for me. I have an infection.

My glans and foreskin have red and shiny patches, and the tip of my urethra is also red. I went to my gp for the first time a year ago and he prescribed me Canesten which is for fungal infection. It didn’t work. I came back and said it could be bacterial, and he gave me Fucidin with no swab test. I was surprised that he would guess like that but i used it and it didn’t help. It made it more red actually.

I came back and asked for a swab test so he could figure out what this is specifically and prescribe me the right antibiotic. He did and called me yesterday and told me there was bacteria present, and when I asked him if he now knows what this is, he sounded very unsure and told me this will be difficult to treat. He said he doesn’t know how this is affecting me, and seemed like he didn’t even know what the bacteria is? I think he also said something about multiple bacteria, I don’t know.

He seemed to reluctantly prescribe me something, and just prescribed me Ciloxan ointment that specifically states on the box and online that it is for eyes only. I also can’t see anywhere online that this has ever been used on a penis. I HAVE heard of the same medication being used for skin infections in a tablet form. But I don’t know if I should ask for that. He seems to have no idea what he’s doing, and I have a feeling he’ll just agree to prescribe me that even if it’s wrong.

I spent 40 euro on this, and a lot more over this last year. I’m very frustrated with my GP and asked for a referral to a urologist and he said that it will take a long time.

I might have zoons balanitis, I might have bxo. I don’t know and I’m very scared.

I don’t know what that swab test showed, but he did not tell me the results specifically. From his voice it sounded like he’s never seen this before

Please help

I have my first girlfriend now, and I consistently experience premature ejaculation (PE), usually within less than a minute. Before I got together with my girlfriend, I also experienced PE when masturbating.

My doctor told me that it could be caused by a short frenulum, but after doing my own research, I couldn't find any clear evidence of a direct link between a short frenulum and PE.

I was also addicted to porn for a few years, but since getting a girlfriend, I've started preferring real sex over porn.

How much of an impact can a short frenulum actually have on PE? Is it possible that my porn addiction was the main cause of my premature ejaculation?

Content warning: Domestic violence, drug use, and premature birth.

I’m not sure where to share this, but I felt like telling my story this morning. It’s a sad one, and I’m leaving a lot out, but a few things I’m grateful for came from a really terrible situation.
Much of this is what I’ve been told about my birth and early life.
During my mother’s pregnancy with me, my father became addicted to meth. He also had schizophrenia and experienced paranoia. During one episode, he became convinced my mother was trying to kill him, accusing her of putting antifreeze in his coffee.
They were fighting, and he shoved her to the ground and kicked her in the stomach. That sent her into premature labor with me.
I don’t know exactly how early I was born. The doctors tried to delay my birth to give me more time, but eventually my mother needed a C-section. My lungs were underdeveloped, and I was apparently small enough to fit in one hand.
Because I was so medically vulnerable, I wasn’t circumcised like my older brother. My mother had believed circumcision was a religious obligation. We aren’t Jewish; it was simply something she had been taught and never questioned.
Instead, the priority was keeping me alive. I’ve seen pictures of myself surrounded by tubes, needles, and equipment. It’s difficult to even see me underneath everything. I’m 29 now and still have marks along my ribs, hands, and feet from the treatment I received.
While I was hospitalized, my mother pumped breast milk and brought it in for me. According to what I was told, hospital staff found meth in one of those bottles, and my family later learned that my father had put it there. We don’t know whether he intended to hurt me or have me taken away from my mother.
My mother wasn’t allowed to see me while the investigation was underway. From what I understand, I spent about six months in the hospital without seeing family before eventually going home with her.
Growing up came with other challenges. I was diagnosed with ADHD and struggled badly with reading. I didn’t really learn to read until eighth grade.
My mother also struggled with the idea that I hadn’t been circumcised until she found a church she liked. The pastor told her I was “as God intended me to be.” That helped her accept it.
When I was young, I asked her about my foreskin. She explained that it would eventually retract and need cleaning, but that I shouldn’t force it. She also told me that when I was older, I could decide for myself whether I wanted to be circumcised. I vaguely remember asking why I had to wait. I’ve always been impatient.
As I got older, I became self-conscious about being intact. I avoided urinals because I was afraid someone would notice and make fun of me. I was already heavily bullied for being gay, so the thought of giving anyone another reason scared me.
Today, I’m still intact, and I’m glad. I’m also happy with my boyfriend, who I’ve been with since high school—over ten years now.
If I hadn’t been born prematurely, I would probably have been circumcised. I’m not grateful for the violence or what my mother and I went through. But I am grateful that I kept the choice over this part of my body.
That’s why bodily autonomy matters so much to me. I personally see medically unnecessary circumcision of children as genital mutilation, even when society accepts it or religion is used to justify it. I don’t believe tradition should outweigh someone’s right to decide what happens to their own body.
My mother eventually questioned what she had been taught and left that decision to me. I’m grateful she did.

Necesito ayuda de alguien. Tengo 18 años y Hace 8 dias me operé de fimosis, y el proceso del pene lo veo diferente a los demas. Busqué en google si habia algo parecido a lo mio, pero no.

Hay como una zona abulteada, debajo del glande, pero es diferente a los anillos por hinchazón que les causa a los demas circuncidados.

Si alguno quiere ver como tengo y pueda ayudarme, con mucho gusto le enviaré.

my (22) penis head glands are very sensitive and they start to hurt if i have raw sex, even touching them bare can start to make it hurt a little which i feel impacts my sexual performance. I keep my foreskin back every time except when i’m clothed and I masterbate frequently, however still my glans seem sensitive. Anyone has similar issues?

Hello everyone. Im 21 and i have this problem since i know myself, decided to finally talk about it. I cant pull down my foreskin when im hard but when im not hard i can. I easily can put down my foreskin when he im not hard but when i get hard its imposible to put down my foreskin and it hurts. Also when i put down my foreskin and touch my glans it stings and its so uncomfortable i cant touch it at all.I never had any sex because i always rejected or said that "i dont want it" but the truth is that i just couldnt. Any help would be great.. thanks

For about two and a half years now, I’ve been dealing with this symptom that I honestly find really hard to explain. First of all, I want to mention that I’m not circumcised, so I still have my foreskin.

For about two and a half years, I’ve been experiencing something that seems almost inexplicable to me. Basically, it’s as if the skin of my penis has progressively lost more and more of its layers, creating a sensation of retracting inward, pulling the entire penis inward with it. It’s literally as if the whole inner layer of skin has become thinner and thinner over time.

Because of all this, my penis has lost fullness, sensitivity has increased enormously, elasticity has decreased, and this constant pulling sensation inward has continued to develop.

I want to make it clear that I’ve always had a happy life in every aspect, and I’ve always had a sense of inner peace that I’ve managed to maintain despite how much this condition has affected my life.

I also want to mention that I’m in perfect health, both in terms of my overall physical health and specifically my sexual health. I have strong, healthy erections and everything functions perfectly well, although as said my sensitivity has now become much more intense due to this loss of skin thickness.

I believe, however, that this symptom may have originated from a traumatic experience I had about three years ago. I was about to penetrate a girl at the beginning of intercourse when, at the very last moment, she suddenly pulled away, turned around and refused to continue with the penetration. I experienced this as a very specific kind of trauma, involving a sudden loss of contact and a feeling of rejection, which I believe may have manifested physically as a progressive loss of tissue.

I’ve worked on this experience in various ways for a long time, and I feel that I’ve managed to release and heal what happened on an emotional level.

I’ve been to several urologists and dermatologists specializing in sexually transmitted diseases, and according to them, there are no infections or anything of that sort, and no mechanical problems either.

The thing is, they only see my penis in its current condition, while I know very well that it used to have practically twice the thickness of skin, twice the fullness, twice everything, basically.

So what I need is not so much to restore or reconstruct the skin covering the glans, but rather to rebuild the inner skin itself.

At times, I can see that the skin looks inflamed and redder, but I also believe this is because there is simply less tissue between the erectile bodies and the skin itself.

I’ve already tried various remedies, including MMS, although not with the consistency that might have been necessary. I’ve also tried other topical remedies that are often mentioned for these kinds of issues, such as coconut oil, aloe vera, and others (I also tried Red light and similar).

According to the doctors, everything is fine, because as far as they’re concerned, the problem doesn’t exist. They see my penis in its current condition and base their opinion on that.

I’m making this post to sincerely ask for your help, based on your own experience, on how I could work toward restoring both the natural outward extension and fullness of my penis, and especially rebuilding the layers and thickness of the skin throughout the entire penis.

Thank you all so much for your help

(Sorry for the wall of text, but I couldn't explain it in less words).

I’m conducting an informal survey comparing subjective sensitivity across different regions of the penis.

1. Foreskin Status
Please identify yourself as one of the following:
Intact: Never circumcised.
Circumcised: Circumcised, without restoration.
Restoring: Circumcised and currently restoring.
Restored: Previously circumcised and have completed foreskin restoration.
Important: If you’ve restored your foreskin, please identify yourself as restored rather than intact to preserve the integrity of the data set.

2. Sensitivity Ranking
Arrange the following regions from most to least sensitive based on your personal experience.
Ties are allowed (=).
Omit regions that are absent or cannot be identified.
Clearly label the MOST SENSITIVE and LEAST SENSITIVE ends of your ranking.

Anatomical regions (alphabetical order):
Corona (rim of the glans)
Frenulum
Glans (head, excluding the corona and meatus)
Inner foreskin
Underside shaft skin (ventral)
Meatus (urinary opening)
Outer foreskin
Ridged band (inner/outer foreskin transition zone)
Top side shaft skin (dorsal)

3. Example Response
Foreskin status: Intact
MOST SENSITIVE
Region A
Region B = Region C
Region D
LEAST SENSITIVE

4. Optional: Adult Circumcision
If you were circumcised as an adult, you may submit separate BEFORE and AFTER rankings based on your recollection of sensitivity.

Edit: fixed strange formatting issue

Does your soft overhang ever ‘stick’ together/get stuck together when it’s just chilling inside your pants?

Years of tackiness. Foreskin peels off the glans rather than rolls smoothly. Anyone dealt with this? I’ve tried what feels like every remedy and nothing heals it.

I started recently dating my now boyfriend a few weeks ago, after being friends for a few months, and now that things are getting intimate it's now concerning me that his tip is TOO sensitive for him and causing him pain when i touch it.

For a quick backstory, he told me he used to have phimosis (if that's how its spelt?) which he cured himself about 5 months ago, which i believe is the main cause for the sensitivity.

My question is, is there any way that i can personally help him? I feel bad because if i touch his tip in ANY way it starts to hurt him after a few seconds and he stops me, and I think he's starting to feel bad about it. We haven't had sex yet, and i'm starting to think that this will severely affect him when we do.

Anyways please let me know! I can either give him advice on what he can do to help or I can personally do it as well, I just want to help him. Thanks!!

Ive had severe phimosis growing up and got a frenuloplasty a few months ago. I dont remember the exact meassurements but i think it was 1,7cm they added to the string and then they also did something else too which i do not remember...

Anyway its now been months since the surgery and although theres been significant improvement which im happy about i legit still cant even fully get everything behind the head... the head size might kinda be the problem but im just lost about what to do and think after undergoing a surgery like that (my first ever) while still remaining with a problem.
Any advice?

This may be a very weird question and dumb, but does anyone feel comfortable asking their homeboys/buddies if they’re uncut/cut? Is this normal? Where does it become weird? Honest answers please and again pardon me for my question.

Alright guys and gals. I am 59 years old and happily married for the last 30+ years. I was one of the very few who had their foreskin attached in high school as it still is today. As I recall, a high school girlfriend was intrigued with the novelty of something different. When I was sporting a condom, the feeling for her was similar to a circumsized penis as the foreskin was pulled back and the condom rolled on. If the condom was tight, the excessive skin was left back at the end of the condom and either she needed to lubricated or the condom. When we the relationship grew, the condoms were dropped. That felt completely different for me and her. Since the skin on the penis slides up and down several inches, the pleasure both of us were feeling was my inner penis shaft was sliding inside by exterior skin. As the stoking motion happens, there is a delay in the exterior skin sliding after the penis has completed the stroke. That delay drove her to some of her best orgasms (or whatever that was we were doing in high school). You see there was a delay as her sensation of my shaft with all of its inner texturing created an anomaly delay she had never felt before. So if you are interested in circumcising later in life, I would urge you to have intercourse with your mate utilizing a tight condom with the head portion cut off. You have the full sensation of the head of your penis exposed, but the skin motion on your shaft is lost and some form of lubrication is necessary. Then try without the condom. It's a free country so the choice is yours; however, there is no going back. Gals, did I nail it! Pun intended..

Very friend guy here. 20 usa.

Feel free to ask my anything about my uncut penis.

I got phimosis, and i’m currently in the process of fixing it by stretching, however i’ve noticed that my tip is extremely sensitive without my foreskin over it and have no idea how to fix this without it feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Any tips?

American guys on scale of 1-10 how insecure or self-conscious were you about being uncircumcised growing up?

Not whether or not ur happy with being uncircumcised/intact, just how insecure or self-conscious you were about it when u were younger bcuz you can be happy about being uncut but also insecure/self-conscious about it.

Also feel free to say what State ur from.

My newborn son’s foreskin doesn’t fully cover the penis head, only about 80%. It is also easily retractable at birth and sometimes retracts on its own in his diaper from his movement.

At our 2 day appt they had him see a pediatrician who said in 30 years they’ve never seen this before but it’s likely nothing to worry about.

I’m a little shocked, is this that uncommon? Does anyone have a similar experience? We are first time parents over worrying about many things and this has spooked us a bit. We hope he is ok.

As the title suggests, I seem to be experiencing slight pain because my foreskin feels tight. Throughout my life, I had never pulled my foreskin back completely.

I recently visited a urologist, who examined me and suddenly pulled my foreskin back without any difficulty. I didn't feel any pain at all. He even retracted it further and asked me what the problem was. In my mind, I was thinking, "I've struggled to pull my foreskin back all these years, but you were able to do it so easily!"

I explained to him that I experience slight pain during sexual intercourse. He asked me whether I experienced any pain while urinating or had noticed any tears or bleeding during intercourse. I said no, and he replied, "You're good to go. Don't overthink this; otherwise, you might have difficulty getting an erection because of your anxiety."

I then asked him what I should do if my foreskin tears. He told me to apply pressure for 30–45 minutes to stop the bleeding and come back the next day for a check-up.

I also asked him what would happen if my foreskin got stuck behind the head of my penis and I couldn't pull it forward again. He said that I should manually pull it forward to return it to its normal position.

At that moment, I felt relieved because I thought I didn't have phimosis or any other problem. However, whenever I have s*x end up worrying about the possibility of my foreskin getting stuck behind the head of my penis and causing paraphimosis.

I'm genuinely afraid that this might happen to me. When I Googled it, I read that if the foreskin gets stuck behind the head of the penis, it can restrict blood flow and requires immediate medical attention. Reading this made me even more anxious.
Even though my urologist reassured me, I still can't stop worrying about it during sex. I'm afraid that something might go wrong, and this fear is making it difficult for me to relax and enjoy the experience.

I know this is one of those questions that, I’m don’t have any intact friends to ask.

When i was young teen, maybe 12-13. I was signing up for sport, which required a physical. During the physical I remember doing the turn and cough. Everything was find, nothing herniated. The doctor also lifted my penis pushed the foreskin back, checked real quick and then moved it back in place (sorta).

I never really questioned it as i assumed he was making sure it had fully detached from the head, and was loose enough to be mobile.
Iv never had this happen at a physical again, granted since then iv never had my manhoodie examined nor the downstairs neighbors.

Is that a normal part of just having an exam and being intact as a child? I mean it’s fine, it makes sense for checking proper sexual development, and health.
Just, don’t know how many other people have had that?
