Guy got circumcision

 

I did try stretching with creams but no rings, didn't make much of a difference, doc said there's less chance due to my age being 35 and also there was quite a bit of scar tissue due to previously tearing it a few times when attempting to have sex. This scar tissue is not stretchable.

Editor Note: seems to have white patches indicating lichen sclerosus.

18yo guy followed my advice of not masturbating and his phimosis improved

He writes: help , I couldnt pull my foreskin only till 15% of the glans , I used to be a frequent masturbator , I now 18 , have been tapping since 13 ... I stopped fapping for a week and washed it with lukewarm water.. and this was the result ? do you think stopping masturbation and washing penis would heal

I am 25 and have sex occassionally (only protected). I have been unable to retract my foreskin since birth and it has just become tighter in the last couple of years. Also, why does the tip of my penis look red and swollen? Is this normal? It hurts a bit during sex as well.

Another guy who masturbates excessively (3 times a day) and has damaged his penis

The way he masturbates: "I have fingers covering the hole and my thumb pushing up towards the gland and I find that it gives the most pleasure. I will also have my other hands finger in my ass but I don't think that's related

I masturbate around 3 to 4 times a day (yes I'm that horny) "

"What happens if you stop stretching? Does your foreskin naturally get tighter again if you stop stretching it? Or will it just stay in the same state until you continue? i feel like ive hit a brickwall with it all, can retract when flaccid with ease and can retract with ease when erect i just cannot get it back over the head with ease it requires a lot more force and isn’t a natural glide

...been at this stage for a few months now bro, just seems like once I’ve stretched it it definitely looks like progress has been made but then 1/2hrs later it returns to normal and is very disheartening man"
