Uncircumcized, foreskin penis problems - Men's Health Message Board

My question is about pulling the foreskin back. I have read alot of posts on this board of people having similar problems and i am also doing the stretches that were mentioned on another board. But when i pull my foreskin back (i can still only do this when its not erect) i can pull it back enough to fully expose the head of the penis but after that the skin gets kind of stuck and painful (near the ring of penis). I can pull it back alittle more but i have to hold it there and as soon as the penis gets erect it becomes almost impossible to hold it. So alot of the skin gets stuck or jammed behind the 'ring' and causes alot of pain when i try to masturbate. For years now i have only masturbated without pulling the foreskin of the penis and have gotten used to it. Not to mention that the penis head itself is really sensitive and it hurts when i try to touch it, but i know thats normal. What can i do about the skin getting stuck after i get the head of the penis out? Also after i have pulled the skin back as far as it will go and i get an erection it feels really tight and i can hardly masturbate like that. I can ejaculate but it takes a lot longer than when i do it without pulling the skin back. And any suggestions on getting the head of the penis not so sensitive?
Please help

Please ignore the post about Snapple. You don't give your age but that may be important here. Sounds as if your foreskin is not stretched enough or could possibly be "stuck" due to not ever having been completly retracted over the head and down the shaft of your penis. Certainly it's going to be very sensitive there because he's been covered for so long. If you don't mind, give us your age and how long you've been attempting to work with your foreskin and then maybe we can help with other suggestions.

I'm 16 and i haven't been regular with the streching techniques but its been about a month and a half since i started
anyway now i can pull the skin back all the way but its still painful when my penis erects so i have to let it go then
also when the penis is not erect are you supposed to see alot of veins cuz i got lots
are there any suggestions to reduce the soreness of the penis (other than just stretching everyday and letting it out?)...it still hurts to touch the head etc.
thx lance and others who helped
if i ever get to see the snapple guy i will take his snapple and shove it where the sun dont shine

I'd suggest that you keep doing the excercises and try to do it more on a regular basis, especially try the warm/hot soaking baths as this makes your skin more pliable (easy to stretch) sounds like you've made some progress, just be patient and keep trying. As for the sensitivity you'll need to work at that a bit also. Once you've got the head exposed just leave it out and let it breathe abit. You may also try using some hand lotion and gently rubbing the head for periods of time, this may help desensitize your friend more. You're gonna be sensitive because he's been covered for so long, so take your time and just work at it. You will remain really sensitive though and that's a good thing! As for the snapple guy, ignore him, he's not worth the trouble! Good luck and keep us posted on your progress!

Hi,
I am 22 (nearly 23), and I have the same problem, I can pull back the foreskin but I don't like to do it as it is a bit uncomfortable. The head is very sensitive, so much so that I can't touch it.
I had a steady girlfriend for a couple of years and the first time I came in her was after eight months. This is because I wasn't sensitive enough inside her, on the other hand I am too sensitive for instance with oral sex or with the skin drawn back.

If I put on a condom it sort of tickled and was too sensitive, so I had to stop moving.
I have the same situation now.

Is there any specific cream or something I can do that will de-sensitise the head, and what kind of time-frame am I looking at to make it pleasant and comfortable?
