hi, I am also a sufferer of a tight foreskin. I can easily pull it back when my penis is flacid but, when it is erect, its hard to pull back. I stretch everyday and i have found improvements within a week of stretching whilst bathing. I found another method of stretching which requires more time for each session: I find that with my foreskin behind the glans during an erection, it is very tight, i have tried leaving the skin back while sort of masturbating (just keeping it hard but not ejaculating), keeping the skin back behind the head made my skin throb for a while but i have started to get used to it. I tried again the other day for a long session (about 45mins) and when i moved the skin back over the head, it was numb and it was stinging very badly, i must have overdone it abit that time, but, it made the foreskin very very lose and i could retract during erection for up to an hour!
If your foreskin is like mine/ you can retract while flacid but with difficulty while erect and you dont mind masturbating and you have some spare time, try my method, but not for too long at first because it may leave you with a very bad stinging on the foreskin!!

Be careful you don't get it stuck. That can trap the blood causing the erection in the glans and cause major problems. The condition is caused paraphimosis and can mean a trip to the emergency room. If it does get stuck squeeze the head hard to get the blood out of it so that the foreskin can be eased forward. If you try lots of times and it's still stuck see a doctor or hospital fast.

no, it will not get stuck. I can have the skin back with full erection, it stings a bit and is a little tight, but, i can roll it back over the head if i want to no problem. I have heard about the risk of it getting stuck and it has happened to me before, when i first started the skin retraction, all i did was press my thumb under where the skin was stuck and sort of wedged it up... it left it stinging a bit but i have never had anything major involving trips to the doctors or anything like that :-)

This sounds like the problem im having! Im going to start the stretching process today! I can retract my foreskin fully, but when i get erect i feel discomfort and the head goes purple. I have however masterbated with the skin retracted but this was uncomfortable the whole time. If my penis is erect and I try to retract the foreskin it is hard to pull back the skin because it is very tight. Do you have any tips on stretching? How long should it take to feel no disomfort when my foreskin is retracted during an erection. PLEASE HELP!
