Best Answer

Your foreskin may be tight for a variety of reasons. Generally, this is due to it never having been stretched out properly or fully. Usually sexual activity or masturbation involved the retraction of the foreskin, stretching and giving flexibility to the skin. 90% of boys at the age of 14 can retract their foreskin, but if no effort was ever made it may tighten over time. Even still, most men by their twenties are able to retract it. If it remains unretracted for too long, mucous membranes may begin to fuse slightly, or adhere, causing adhesions. With proper maintenance, such as washing and stretching this is easily remedied. Foreskins, like penises, vary and some men naturally have tighter or looser foreskins.

What is partial circumcision?

Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.

Where would one find the frenulum?

If it is doing what it is supposed to do. which is cause the foreskin to move back over the glans of the penis when it is flaccid. it is easily distinguishable when puling the foreskin right back as a separate chord like entity that reaches from the glans to the foreskin for about 15mm until it seems to blend back into the foreskin. so it is not actually tight at all it only becomes tight when the foreskin is pulled back. the tightens of the frenulum may well be associated with the tightness of the foreskin round the penis itself. loosen the foreskin and you loosen the frenulum.

You may need a circumcision if you have a tight foreskin. Do not force it out as this could be very painful and damaging. If you have tried gently moving the foreskin back n forth and it will not freely go over the glans then ask to see your doctor who will be best to advise you.

When will your penis circumstance?

I think you are asking if you need to have a circumcision ! This all depends on how tight your foreskin is, it is not normal practise anymore to remove the foreskin unless it is needed medically. Usually it is done when you are still a child but it can be done for adults also. The foreskin should be able to move over the glans freely without causing pain. There are circumcisions on religious grounds. The Jewish faith still circumcise their baby boys. The foreskin need never be removed for any reason but to treat an existing medical condition that can not be dealt with in any other way. tight foreskins can be loosened in order for them to be able to move easily back and forth over the glans penis. The foreskin is an important part of the operation of the penis and is a or erogenous zone.
