Forsking Problem - Men's Health Message Board

Hey everyone,
Ive read about 20-30 other posts posted here, but im just not sure on a few things.
First of all, im 17, I never full back my forskin when i and only sometimes to clean it. My foreskin is relatively loose having little difficulty pulling it back when not errect, but when errect, there is a little difficulty, although once i can pull it over the fattest bit of my nob, it seems to be ok. I masterbate with my forskin intact, and when I try to masterbate with the foreskin pulled back, it hurts like hell. Mainly that peice of skin that connect the nob and the foreskin. Is this normal? Do i just need to do some exercises to loosen this up abit?
My friend said that while masterbating his broke, is that normal?
Is it normal (and/or Better) to masterbate with the foreskin pulled back?

Ive had sex once, and found it was a bit sore on my foreskin puttin the condom on and inserting my penis into her *****. The same happens when she gave me a hand job, although the headjob was fine..
Are these too normal?

Also, my foreskin was attached to my knob (just under it), although the more i pulled my foreskin back the more this ripped untill it was all gone. It was not painful and from other pictures ive seen it seems normal

That piece of skin that connects the foreskin to the underside of your penis is called the frenulum. Its loaded with nerve endings, and very sensitive. Yours is a bit too tight, which is causing your the pain. While its not normal, it is a common problem. What you need to do is stretch the frenulum, by retracting your foreskin while erect, and pulling it back as far as it will go, stopping when you get pain. Then hold it there for about 5 minutes, and do this at least once or twice a day, everyday. You should notice it stretch over a few weeks, and should solve your problem.

I wouldn't call it normal, but its not uncommon for the frenulum to tear. You should try to avoid doing that if you can, but if it does tear, its not a major problem. Just lay off masturbation or sex for a week or two to let it heal. If it tears, you'll get some bleeding, so don't be alarmed.

Most uncut guys find its best to use the foreskin to masturbate with. In other words, they will grip the foreskin low on the shaft, and pull it back and forth, letting the foreskin glide back and forth over the head. Some guys pull the foreskin all the way back and hold it there, and masturbate with the foreskin back all the time. But most will find that the head is too sensitive to do that, and uncomfortable. Using the foreskin back and forth over the head is usually more comfortable than stroking the exposed head directly with your hand.

No, not normal - you should not have pain like that. Its probably from your tight frenulum. So once you fix that as described above, it will probably solve this problem too. Also, make sure you have your foreskin all the way back behind the head BEFORE you put the condom on. Otherwise you won't feel much, and you could get some pain from the foreskin.

I have spoken to a couple of other friends about this, and some say they've never pulled their forskin back in their lives! And they dont when they urinate?
Are you suppose to retract the forskin when urinating?
If so, how much?

Also, when masterbating, as you said, the skin should slide over the head, but how far?

I just noticed that where the skin of the penis attached to the bottom of my nob, it was mostly gone (sorta ripped away from the nob). There was however still a lil bit attached so yesterday in the shower i slowly detachged (ripped i guess you can say) this skin away so it would be like the rest of my skin/nob.
Although, today, i find that where this occured is a little more red (like its bleeding but no blood) and a slight discomfort (not much paint) only when I touch my head (with the forskin covering it)..
Should I be worried about anything? or just give it a little time to heal?

Thanks

Another thing...
When masterbating, I use to just do it only with the forskin fully on, intact, normal.. how ever u call it
But after realising that it should be loose, I now, when masterbating, pull the foreskin back pretty hard when masterbating (Not so it hurts, but so it stretches) is this good for loosening the skin?

1 more thing, do you have any pictures of what a loos circumcied penis should look like?
Ive heard many different stories from many different people. One person i spoke to said that arn't circumcized but have no skin on the end of their penis, it just hangs around the knob... Hes not even sure himself if he is or isn't circumsized...
Im really confused as to how my penis should be.. when flaccid and errect.. any pictures would be very useful
thanks!

1. I'm uncircumcised. When I ****, I usually pull my foreskin right back so that it is bunched behind the head of my dick. I do this because I think it's cleaner but, I guess, it's a personal preference -- please yourself.

2. When I masturbate, I slide the skin back and forth so that it goes almost completely behind the head and then forward again. However, sometimes, I pull the foreskin right back, apply lubrication and use my hand to gently stroke the head, shaft and particularly the stretched frenulum. Once your foreskin is sufficiently loose, you can do what you want when you jerk off -- again, personal preference.

3. The frenulum should be attached to the underside of your penis head. I'm not sure what you mean by saying you have ripped the skin away. Be careful that you don't tear the frenulum. If you are in the early stages of stretching the foreskin and frenulum, there will probably be some redness. Patience and time will help remove any "discomfort".

4. Yes, masturbating by pulling the foreskin back will loosen it. Don't do it too "hard", as you don't want to rip or damage anything down there.

5. There are pictures on the internet of all sorts of penises with and without foreskins, erect and flaccid. Do an advanced search in Google using some of these terms.

6. Those friends of yours should be encouraged to do what you are doing. It is essential to pull back the foreskin and clean the whole area. I use a mild soap but some guys have trouble with inflammation caused by soap, so the penis head can be cleaned just by running water over it and using your hand.
