17 and 2 months years old (Phimosis? ) (Uncircumsized)
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've just turned 17 and recently learned that penis's foreskin is supposed to go below the head (Penis head) I never knew this until recently but I begin to fear I may have what I researched to be Phimosis I can only expose the penis hole and the top of my penis before it feels like its tense and I'm afraid to go further then that, I'm not sure if this is Phimosis but if so what can i do and will I be able to have a normal sexual relationship? (I really appreciate any response this is causing me some mild depression I think and i really just Dont know what to do)

If you masturbate without discomfort, chances are intercourse will be straightforward too. You maybe don't have to do anything. Unless your foreskin is still attached (as all baby boys' and young boys' foreskins are), then it should be possible eventually, either naturally as you mature, or with help from a prescribed ointment, to stretch your foreskin gradually over a few months until it moves smoothly back and forward over your glans. You are right to be cautious about pulling further than you feel comfortable doing, as a tight foreskin can get stuck behind the glans and cause blood flow problems. If the foreskin can't be manipulated forward over the glans again, you'd have to go to hospital (A & E in UK, ER in US) to have medical help as a matter of urgency. If you go to your doctor, they will be able to advise and maybe prescribe the ointment that will help with stretching. There are also devices to attach under the foreskin, to help with stretching. If this doesn't work your doctor may suggest circumcision. Some doctors are too ready to suggest this, as many men have successfully treated themselves by stretching methods, but it can take many months, even years. I hope you won't be too ready to have it entirely removed if it gets to that stage, as the foreskin has many pleasure nerve endings and you could regret losing it. There are also other less drastic surgical interventions that ease the foreskin without cutting it off completely..

Yes I'm able to masturbate and don't feel discomfort, I read somewhere that by 17 most men should be able to pull it down. I am concerned about sex because I do what to have a sexual relationship and this is discouraging me from doing so. I do not plan to circumsize because it sounds very painful and I would be concerned with it going wrong, however if it's required for me to have a sexual relationship it's something I would do seeing as how emotional distressed i've been due to this as of late. I really do appreciate the information thank you so much I'm thinking I'm going to try stretching it and possibly see a doctor.

I'm sad to hear this is affecting you so deeply. It really isn't necessary to delay dating. Any potential partner should be more interested in you as a person than whether you have a perfect body. In a way, I'd say, if they are put off when you tell them, or if you find you do have issues when it comes to penetrative sex and they reject you for it, it's a way of filtering out shallow and undesirable attitudes!
My bet is that you can have successful penetrative sex, especially if you use condoms, which is wise with new people anyway.

It's not that I'm afraid they would not want to date me it's more about me feeling that has somehow stripped away my manhood by not being able to have penetrative sex with a girl at the moment. This is likely a very teenage way of thinking but I can't deny how I feel.
It's definently a possibility but I'm quiet discouraged until I'm able to stretch it or other measures are taken.

But I do draw one positive being I do not feel any pain so I'm assuming nothing is wrong other then the smell but that's likely from lack of cleaning/ability to clean.

I feel anxiety over trying anything sexual after learning of this. I'm really not sure about any of this. I think I'll still pose-pone the sexual activity until I'm able to pull down my foreskin I'm also concerned with the oder which would make specific sexual acts difficult for my partner to enjoy (Oral).

It's probably not as bad as you fear, but cleaning well before sex (and after) is always wise.
