I can't pull back the foreskin

I think Matthew has left this discussion now. And I'm sure you have been of help to him with all your understanding replies. You're quite right that his sex life would be better if he was able to retract, and you give some accurate advice.

I would just like to point out that circumcision is never an option as a means to really improving sex life for either partner - unless as a last resort when all other options have failed. I ended up much as Mathew penis-wise. Stretching and steriod creams did nothing. But in my case my VERY tight foreskin was the result of abuse as a 6 year old boy. The subsequent scar from the injury compromised my forekin's elasticity. Long story short: I suffered paraphimosis during sex one night. My wife successfully released my trapped foreskin, but she insisted I see my GP. She in turn referred me to a urologist. I was circumcised.

I now have a permanently exposed glans which loses erotic sensation as every month and year goes by. Now, even icy cold or very hot water on my glans leaves me feeling nothing except pressure from the falling water. But if I do the same on the shaft of my penis, I recoil instantly in shock.

My wife and I both wish I still had a foreskin regardless of its paucity. But now, even masturbation is a learning curve for me.

And there's the rub, pardon the pun...I can't imagine the sensitive head/glans being permanently exposed, knowing how the foreskin on it's own can get 'wear and tear' hrough over zealous friction from masturbation and oral stimulation. It's how we were made, and it's so obvious what the foreskin is there for. My father was one of 7 boys born from 1914-26. Oddly, the eldest who lived until age 90 had issues in his late 70s requiring a circumcision, but otherwise, i never heard of any issues. My father insisted his 3 boys would remain intact. Many of the males in my family had extra padding in the public area from weight issues starting in childhood. Long foreskin and extra padding means there's even more places for the penis to 'hide',especially as their/our weight increased in adulthood....But all fathered children. At 60, I'm fortunate to have a younger very understanding and helpful husband. After may weight gains as ND big losses, the loose skin just adds to the issues. The surgeries for removal and lifting are so invasive and healing so lengthy, I've steered away for over 25 years thus far. Th ad nks for sharing...it's good for us to do this. Cheers.

I pardon the pun. It was apt.

I also want to thank you for your very interesting reply. Referencing the foreskin, you say: "It's how we were made, and it's so obvious what the foreskin is there for." Never a truer word. A circumcised penis is a crippled penis.

You go on to say," Many of the males in my family had extra padding in the public (sic) area from weight issues starting in childhood. Long foreskin and extra padding means there's even more places for the penis to 'hide',especially as their/our weight increased in adulthood....But all fathered children."

Fascinating and remarkable.

Your further say: "At 60, I'm fortunate to have a younger very understanding and helpful husband." If your user name, Nick, means you are male, then I applaud your LGBT status.

"ND (No Definition) big losses." Please explain.

Then you say, "The surgeries for removal and lifting are so invasive and healing so lengthy, I've steered away for over 25 years thus far."

Do you mean the removal of extra fat tissue in the presence of obesity?

I'm glad to share any issues we may have. In my case, lack of a foreskin is permanent problem, as you know. Sharing is good for us, I agree.

I should have said many losses and Gains!

YES weight losses..from 600 to 300 aND gain-lose-gain etc. I'm about 350 now.. what I was 43 years ago at graduation in 1973...never average weight after age 7 or 8.

YES...gay and married 20 years to my younger tall slim knight in shining armour.

Can you please use imperial  units, rather than metric? I can roughly judge miles versus kilometres, but I have never got the hang of kilograms v stones, pounds and ounces! My weight is 10 stones 5 pounds which is roughly about 67 kilograms I think! I have a unit converter on my PC desktop. I'm 7 years older than you so, who knows, perhaps that's why?

Another thing: when I was growing up 'gay' meant cheerful, light-hearted, merry.. And whilst I'm sure that describes many homosexuals, I still think the term is a misnomer.

Nick, men and boys DO get UTIs, but not as commonly as females. I had one shorty after my circumcised penis healed. It was a particulary unpleasant version, diagnosed as cystitis after sex with my wife. I was told it was a rare complication of circumcision with no foreskin to protect the permanently exposed glans (head of the penis).

Like you, I have a very large testicles (perhaps overlarge?). But circumcision has clearly reduced my flaccid penile length, even taking into account the perceived length if a foreskin was present - if you understand me?

Completely unrelated to the above, I had to undergo catheterisation to drain my full bladder after a very lengthy angioplasty surgery. So I do sympathise with you. The invasive act of inserting a tube in the manner you describe was bad enough for me and my circumcised penis, let alone your perfect penis complete with its foreskin.

I asume your partner also has an equally natural, nature-given, penis?

600 pounds = 42 stone 12 pounds

300 pounds = 21 stone  6 pounds

350 pounds = 25 stone

I think you're right. Thanks for that!

If you're only 13, then it's not unusual at that age, and it will probably just fix itself as you get older.  There are lots of threads here that might help, but I just posted on this one today:

I also want to share my penis pics

I am 25 and still virgin, my penis forskin doest not go back, pls advise whether everything is fyn or not

It would be easier to keep track of things if you create a new thread.

You need to be on a PC or laptop to add pictures.  If you are, then you should see some extra icons towards the top right of where you type, and the right hand icon (which I think is supposed to look like the sun over hills) will add images.

The pic I've attached here shows the icons:
