Unable to retract fully while erect

hello all, I'm going to have sex with a girl real soon, I'm able to retract my foreskin all the way back while I'm flacid, but it gets stucked behind and it has that rubber band thingy - I can also get stretch all the way back while I'm semi erect, but the same rubber band ring issue, I need to manual do some twisting to get my foreskin back up.

when I'm fully erect, I can take my head out 80 to 85 percent, before i couldn't even take 50 percent out, I started applying steroid cream on it, everyday, twice a day, and strech for sometime, I think I'm seeing good results but not sure.

now for the sex part - will I be able to have sex comfortably with a condom? I don't want it to pull my foreskin back while we are having sex and I'm stucked back there, will condom stop it from moving a lot? and will i feel good, need advice pls

21M with long-term phimosis (pinhole?) – no pain but ballooning, want to avoid circumcision

Hey,

I’m 21M and have had tight foreskin since childhood. I think it might be pinhole phimosis — the opening is very small (can’t insert finger, maybe earbud size).

No pain during urination or masturbation

But I do get ballooning while peeing

Can’t retract at all

I want to avoid circumcision and keep my foreskin.

Is stretching (targeting the tight ring) still effective at this stage?

Also, is it safe to try methods like cotton buds, or should I stick to external stretching only for now?

Would appreciate advice from anyone with similar experience 🙏

I retracted my foreskin for the first time, now what?

Hello all, I just retracted my foreskin for the first time earlier today however when I did so I was flaccid, and I haven't tried it whilst erect yet but I know it's a lot more difficult for me to do it when erect. So, I'm asking you what is the next step for me, to be able to fully cure my phimosis?

Is this level of tightness still treatable without surgery?

Hi everyone,

I’ve been dealing with phimosis for a while. Previously, I couldn’t retract my foreskin at all, even when flaccid.

Over the last few period, I’ve been gently pulling it back every day in the shower to clean underneath. Now I can retract it when I’m flaccid, but it feels very tight at the end, especially around the opening. I still can’t retract it when I’m erect.
While stretching, I sometimes got small tears in the foreskin. I’ve stopped forcing it and started applying petroleum jelly (Vaseline), which seems to be helping the tears heal.

My questions are:

  1. Does this amount of tightness look like something that can usually be treated with stretching?
  2. Has anyone gone from only being able to retract while flaccid to being able to retract while erect?

I’ve attached a photo (taken while flaccid with the foreskin retracted as far as I comfortably can). Any advice or shared experiences would be appreciated.

Circumcions or frenuloplasty

So i have both phimosis and frenulum breve, my phimosis got a lot better in the last months and I don't want to take off my skin so i was thinking of doing a frenuloplasty. I also have fear when i stretch just because of the frenulum (when erect). Someone did it? How does it feel now? Steroid creams helped a lot for the phimosis, I'm not a doctor and i know a lot of people say to not use them but tbh they saved me, used 2 weeks/20days and then stopped, conserved my results with stretching, every 2 month i do another cicle of 15 days just to not force it.

Guess stretching is working but what is phimotic band

I have been stretching since last 3 days. I use coconut oil and sometimes lube to put inside penis and use cotton buds to stretch my tight foreskin and I also rotate cotton bus around the glans. However I don't know how deep should I put cotton buds. When flaccid I have no much issues in taking it further down. Erect penis is still very tight and I can't retract much. I don't know where my phimotic band is.

Do I have phimosis?

Hi everyone, this is really embarrassing to talk about haha but I just would like to know. I've always been hesitant to get my foreskin to retract, since these days it can't go further than the Corona glandis (which I think mine is large when I'm erect? I don't know though since I've never been able to actually see the full tip exposed. I also would like to add that when I was a kid (6-9 years old) I had an incident where my foreskin retracted for the first (and only) time but it was really thick, red, and sore, and after a few hours I fixed it but since then I've never been able to get it back.

Can you guys please let me know if I have phimosis or do I just have to get used to getting the skin back?

I got circumcised as an adult for severe pinhole phimosis five days ago and I have #noregrets

Oh no! I mutilated myself! I cut off a ton of nerve endings! It doesn’t matter that *checks notes* my tight foreskin caused painful erections, put me at an increased risk of UTIs, and made it impossible for me to use condoms!

I didn’t even bother with stretching exercises! I got rid of an important body part with self lubricating abilities even though *checks notes* having severe phimosis makes the foreskin unable to lubricate effectively!

What a nightmare!*

(*this is all meant very sarcastically)

Help

Last post was removed not sure why. I’m worried my foreskin was damaged. I can get it about 1/2 way down when hard and have been stretching with two fingers in the foreskin for 10 min using just regular moisturizing lotion. Is it salvageable?

Foreskin tight in the middle of erect pen!s, when I try to retract. How to fix this issue?

I can pull back successfully when I am flaccid, but when I have an erection, a tight band suffocates my erect P, thereby giving an hourglass shape or waist type shape.

How do I fix this issue?

NOVOGLAN

I have a question, has anybody tried novaglan and had real results ? Their page don’t look trustworthy to me some way but I feel like that product is the perfect one for me don’t want to spend that much just to find out it’s a waste of money. I need a before and after and people showing them using it. Because if it’s that good why is no one else talking about it

Is this phimosis or what? and what stage it is in?

I'm 26 M and had this issue since 2019. Thats the year I started Mastrubation for the first time, then only I had this issue. I've looked online for non-surgical solutions and came to know about phimosis creams, rings, oil etc.

Before I buy and use anything, I want know whether I have phimosis or its just normal or any other issue.

I can pull it back completely when soft, and when erect - it dosen't go all the way down and stops after slight pull... I'm worried cuz I never had this issue before 2019 and also worried about size reducing...
