About 10% of boys and teenagers have a tight foreskin. It can easily be fixed by using a medicated cream and gradual stretching exercises. For more information search on Wikianswers for, "How do you stretch your foreskin?"

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.

Why are people either for or against circumcision?

There are always 2 sides to everything: The overriding thing that must be remembered here is that most of the people who have their foreskin removed had it done while they were infants or children and had no choice in the procedure. So they did not have it done for their own reason but as a result of an assault a simple fact which is conveniently overlooked in many developed countrys. 1. Many people have circumcisions for religious reasons, like Islam and Judaism 2. Many people have circumcisions for aesthetics - some foreskins are NASTY 3. Many people have circumcisions to prevent foreskin problems 4. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal hygiene 5. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal sanitation 6. Many people have circumcisions because of the medical benefits. 7. Many people have circumcisions due to medical necessity during their lifetime. Against: 1. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is natural looking, more sensitive, and better for sex 2. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it protects the glans (the head) and reduces infections 3. Many people believe removing the foreskin is "mutiliation" just like removing the "female foreskin" is also mutilation 4. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is ethically and morally the right thing to do since it isn't their body 5. Many people leave the foreskin intact because they believe the medical benefits are not dramatic enough to warrant a surgical procedure.


Your foreskin is very tight when your penis is erect but loose when it is flaccid help?

That is perfectly normal, and nothing to worry about.


Is it normal for the skin around your penis to get tight when you get erect?

This is called phimosis, where the skin of the foreskin becomes tight and sometimes painful. It can be alleviated by gentle stretching and if this does not help, surgery or circumcision can be indicated.


Is puberty embarrassing?

I do not think you have anything to worry about. If you were asking these questions at age of 18 or 20 years, then I could understand your concerns. Just give yourself a few years and you should be ok. As for the foreskin not retracting, you know, it is so silly to think that you have to do things to hurt yourself or to be like somebody else. Just because someone says you have to retract your foreskin why do you think you have to do it? The reasoning is not correct that if a foreskin isn't retractable it can cause problems with cleaning and sex, and if it doesn't retract it's not functioning properly. There actually are millions of men in the world at any one time, myself included, who do not retract their foreskin. I have a number of current patients in a similar condition and have, in the past, treated men in Europe, Asia and other countries with the condition of tight foreskin. Not one that I have personally met and not one that I have ever read about has a problem with cleaning. Nor do they have problems with masturbation or sex. And I have to join with them in saying that it is ridiculous to suggest that our penises are not functioning properly. Your penis and your foreskin are a unique team. They work together almost always in perfect harmony. Some guys have a foreskin that retracts, so they retract it. Some guys have a foreskin that does not retract, so they leave it alone. Some guys have had their foreskin removed and no longer have a choice. If you are watching videos, then the guys are probably porn stars and they do so much drugs and other stuff that their sexuality is no longer normal in any case. I would not worry about them. If your foreskin does not easily retract, do not try to force it to. It does not have to. You do not have to pull the foreskin back to put a condom on, to masturbate, or to have sex. It is an absolute nonsense to think so. Only fools will tell you this is necessary. Some people label a tight foreskin as phimosis. Generally people with a tight foreskin do not have phimosis, they just have a tight foreskin. There are millions of guys in the world with this condition which is quite normal. The only abnormal thing is when you try to stretch a foreskin that does not need to be stretched or try to use medications that rarely have any beneficial result. The unfortunate thing is that retraction has been taught, mainly in USA, because personal hygiene was not taught. Washing a penis with the foreskin covered (not retracted) is very easily achieved and very efficient. Any boy or man can be shown how to do it if they are having a problem. The same goes for masturbation or sex. Many will argue that it is much more effective and it certainly feels great. I cant compare it to an open foreskin, because I have never done it that way. Just leave your foreskin as it was intended to be. Anything you do to yourself that hurts is normally not a good thing to do, so don't do it.

Is there something wrong if you are a 12 year old boy and you can't get your glans over your foreskin?

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.


What do doctors check for when you go to a check up to see if you need a circumcision or not?

If the foreskin is too tight or not, if it can be pulled back so you can clean under it.

During sex is it supposed to hurt when you are not circumcised?

No, sex should not hurt. Sex may hurt if your foreskin is too tight and can not slide up and down over the head easily. For information on how to fix this with gradual stretching exercises, search on Wikianswers for "How do you stretch your foreskin?"
