Hello I am new to this forum.

I am 20 years old and I masturbate daily, I am a virgin and for ages now I've been trying to expose the tip of my penis, it's attached to a skin on my penis. I don't know what to do! I'm scared for circumcision because I can't take the uncomfortable pain and It will ruin the look of the penis I think. Please see attached pictures and help me! 

I've been seeing this girl and we like each other a lot, it's getting a lot more physical touching but Im afraid to have sex cause I don't want to disappoint her and put her off because of my penis.

    In the photos, as you were holding your penis, where you trying to pull the skin back to uncover the head (glans) of your penis.

    You need not be scared of circumcision as that would ONLY happen if you wanted it to happen.  The condition you seem to have is Phimosis.  So, how much of the head of the penis can you expose if you try to pull the foreskin back towards the body?

    *I don't get the bit where you afraid of having sex?!  Do you suppose a Girl who really seems to like you a lot is going to be put off by how your penis looks?!!!

    You say you masturbate daily!  Do you get any pleasure from doing this?  My guess is you are masturbating for what has been described as 'the pleasure principle'.  That is, most men who masturbate actually enjoy it.  Do you not think therefore that a Girl you like a great deal would want to share the pleasure you get on your own, with her.

    Focus on pleasuring the Girl, not thinking she will want to check-out you penis first.

    Think about creating a passionate scenario - how could you pleasure the Girl intimately in different ways.  Have a condom with you at ALL times, and, if you do get seriously passionate with one another she likely would not care less what your penis looks like once you get to the stage of needing to put the condom on.  Simply, you can share mutual masturbation first - then the Girl will see you are the kind of person She want to share intercourse with!

    Don't focus YOUR mind on the negative aspects (how your penis may appear to the Girl), just get on and learn to explore and enjoy each others bodies!!!

    REPLY to this post if you want to tell you more about dealing with your foreskin issue... And, knowing what country you i would be helpful (e.g. UK)?

    GOOD LUCK with exploring your sexuality ...... W.D.

      where you trying to pull the skin back to uncover the head (glans) of your penis.

      Yes I was.

      and Yes, I do get pleasure when I masturbate.

      I would really appreciate it if you could give me some solutions for my foreskin issue, is their a cream etc, stretching techniques etc.

      Just go and see a doctor - that's what they are for - he will send you to see a urologist and it'll be fixed.

      Yes there is a cream: things like a little Germolene are good - but could be something as everyday skin lotions, water based lube - the best is a steroidal ointment (If you live in the UK you need a GP prescription for these. 

      It is best if you do a little research online for stretching techniques.  There are two sites I would suggest:-

                     "A Phimosis Journey" and the "Guide to Treating Phimosis" section is good - ALSO

      check "wiki How" and "3 ways to do phimosis stretching" section is getting at the essentials of stretching.

      I would suggest looking at a few sites and picking out a range of 2 or 3 exercises that work best for you.

      The ESSENTIAL is you do these gently to start with, then build up the regularity and amount of time you do these, then after 3 or 4 months start to use more force.

      The 2 basic exercises I do are:-  (AGAIN, you need to do gently to start with!)

      i.) Draw the foreskin forward from the head of the penis as comfortably as it will go.  Do this every other day, 2 minutes to start with - after  several weeks of having no problems with this add another minute, after a few months you can make the whole routine (different exercises) last 20 to 30 minutes.

      ii.) START THIS ONE VERY GENTLY - pull the skin down the shaft of the penis towards the body until you just start to feel pain, and ease the force to enable the skin to fully retract.  I would do this for a minute at first.  Once you are comfortable with using this as part of your penile excercise regime, you can very carefully start to use more force and add more minutes on AFTER 2 to 3 months of not having had any injuries or anything adverse happening.

      *For others reading this, I have had to do these kinds of exercises because of Lichen Sclerosus.  I use several stretch techniques on usually a daily basis as part of my routine of using a steroidal cream. I do get injuries because my sclerosus.

      ** For ANYONE doing any form of excercise to alleviate a foreskin condition who experiences any form of injury you need to give the skin of your penis at least 1, if not 2 or 3 weeks to recover.  For severe injuries due to stretching the foreskin, I have regularly had to give myself a 2 or 3 MONTH 'excercise holiday'.  Obviously, the worst scenario is for those who use excessive / severe force is that you can rupture or tare the foreskin, if you do this a trip to A&E is necessary to have it stitched back together!  So never combine exercises with taking alcohol!

      If you do foreskin stretching exercises regularly and safely, you will begin to see progress after 3 to 6 months.  You need to find the ones that work for you, do these regularly, and develop the sense of knowing how much force to apply.

      Good Luck W.D.

    You aren't going to be able to sort this problem out with a large vodka and a rusty razorblade. Get yourself and your pride and joy in front of a doctor who will refer you to a specialist. There is an operation they can do which just stretches the foreskin from the glans, while under anaesthesia. If worst case if you need to have a circumcision -what is worse - that or never being able to use the bloody thing? You are twenty years old - don't be silly - tomorrow go and see a doc - there is nothing special about yours that they won't have seen a hundred times before.

    IF you can masturbate ok, chances are, especially with a condom, you should have no trouble having intercourse. Don't get too hung up on your girlfriend liking the look of your penis. Feelings and touch are, as I understand it, much more important to women than visual stimulus. It's also very important to talk. Tell her your fears. Ask her what she likes sexually. As Wee Dugie suggests, concentrate on her pleasure. Don't expect to 'get it right' at first. Every couple has to literally feel their way with each other.

    As to our frenulum/foreskin issue, there are ways to deal with that without full circumcision.

    Above all relax, love yourself as you are and be confident that your girlfriend feels lucky to know you!

    I don't know how many other men's penises you have studied, so forgive me if I'm stating the obvious, but if uncircumcised, we all have skin attaching the underside of the glans to the foreskin, - it's called the frenulum (similar to underside of the tongue) but it doesn't usually prevent retraction of the foreskin. When you masturbate do you slide the foreskin, or only rub over it? The most common method for an intact man is to slide the foreskin back and forth over the glans. If you cannot retract fully you probably have Phimosis. If you search 'phimosis' online there is plenty of information available. Your doctor can also help, particularly with a prescription for steroid cream.

    It looks to me that you have a normal penis that just needs some exercises to gently stretch the foreskin. This needs patience over several months at least. Wee Dugie has a lot of good advice on this. To save him having to repeat himself, I suggest you try looking at his responses to others on this forum.

    Best of health and luck to you.

    I understand the embarrassment going to the doctor about your penis can bring. I remember the first time I told a doctor (woman) I had difficulty getting and keeping an erection. She got the deer in the headlights look, like the last thing she wanted to do was talk about or look at my penis. Mind you, she had literally just finished examining my testicles minutes ago. But she still referred me to a urologist, which is the right place to go for penis issues. If it is a rash or some other skin condition, a dermatologist can take care of it. But it seems like phimosis is the likely culprit for you.

    Kieran,

    Consider that there is little reason for you to know what another man's junk looks like up close and personal, and hopefully even less reason for your girl to know... relax.  We're all different, and that doesn't mean a difference means a problem.  If you are worried about phimosis, google it and evaluate the options vs. benefit.  If you are worried about what appears to be a little extra skin, don't worry about it.  

    On your next regular visit to a doctor tell him you have a concern that would benefit from a professional examination, and let him/her look.  That will probably provide the most peace of mind for you.

    The consensus here is to not worry.  Enjoy your daily ritual.  Our body parts are unique... trust me, hers will not look like a textbook drawing either.

    Good luck, don't worry, carry on!
