I think the opposite would be true. Being that the head is always in a warm moist environment, it it easier to get and infection or irritation.

i have an uncircumsized penis, and i think its the best to have it uncut because : 1. Original, just like God designed us 2. More feeling during sex (proven) 3. A lot of protection for ur pee pee and 4. Easier to masturbate.

At 16, you should be able to pull back your foreskin all the way with ease. So if you can't, you need to start working on it! There have been tons of posts here already on how to stretch your foreskin so it will retract so do a search on here for "Foreskin Stretching". Actually, I think the first page of this thread has lots of tips on how to do it.
You need to do this to 1) properly clean under your foreskin each day and 2) to have a properly functioning penis for sex and masturbation.
The frenulum is a thin line of skin below the urethra opening just below the head, that fans out to a web that connects the bottom of the foreskin to the bottom of the head. Just like the web of skin under your tongue. If you've never pulled back your foreskin, you may have never actually seen your frenulum, as its not easy to see with the foreskin forward. When you pull your foreskin back past the head, you can see it easily on the underside.
The frenulum will stretch to allow your foreskin to be pulled back all the way. It may be tight for you, but you need to work on stretching it so its not so tight. It won't look awkward. If you've ever seen a picture of an uncut penis with the foreskin fully retracted, it looks almost exactly like a circumcised penis.

Hi I'm 16 too. I've never really followed up on anything about my foreskin before, until today. Sure I'm aware of such things, but I've never really took much notice.
Look I need some help. I'm 16, I've never ever tried to pull back my foreskin and to be honest, I'm very afraid to - like a few of the other 16yr old people posting.
I've got a vain that runs down right across my cock, down to where I pee - the hole. And I guess, I'm afraid of what would happen if I attempted to pull the foreskin back - would the vain be crippled - sqaushed - is this serious etc ?
I've never actually seen how a foreskin goes back - so it's difficult for me to understand how this works. Does it pull back from where you pee - the hole ?
And finally, everytime I pee, I always get the smell of pee round my cock, and sometimes people can smell it aswell - which is embarassing - would pulling the foreskin prevent this ? I have no idea at all.
thank you for any help

Well, the first thing is you need to stop being afraid of pulling back your foreskin. Your foreskin is designed to be retracted behind the head, and is supposed to. Its part of what makes a fully functioning penis. It's abnormal for the foreskin NOT to retract!
At 16, you should be able to fully retract your foreskin past the head. One reason is hygiene: under your foreskin, a substance called smegma accumulates, which is whitish/yellowish colored and texture of cheese. Smegma is made of dead skin cells, oils, sweat, pheremones (sexual odors), and left over drops of urine and semen. When left to accumulate under the foreskin for more than a day or two, it can turn bad smelling. So you need to retract your foreskin every day in the shower to wash the smegma away and keep your penis looking and smelling clean. The other reason to retract is simply pleasure: under your foreskin, you have the head or glans of your penis, which is extremely sensitive and pleasurable. Also, the simple movement of the foreskin gliding back over the glans is very pleasurable. So both masturbation and sex are greatly improved with a retractable foreskin.
In reply to:
I've got a vain that runs down right across my cock, down to where I pee - the hole. And I guess, I'm afraid of what would happen if I attempted to pull the foreskin back - would the vain be crippled - sqaushed - is this serious etc ?
I'm not sure if what you are referring to is actually a vein or not. It may be your frenulum, which is a strip of skin along the underside of your foreskin near the tip, just below your pee hole. When the foreskin is forward, it can look like a vein along the underside of the foreskin. When you retract your foreskin, it will look like a web of skin, kind of like underneath your tongue. It could also be part of your raphe, which is a line of dark colored skin that can continue down the length of the penis shaft through the middle of the scrotum. For some guy the line is only visible on the scrotum, and not on the penis. No matter what it is, you won't be damaging it by retracting your foreskin. Remember, the foreskin is designed to be retracted!
In reply to:
I've never actually seen how a foreskin goes back - so it's difficult for me to understand how this works. Does it pull back from where you pee - the hole ?
Basically the foreskin glides back over the head. The hole that you see now, which is really just the tip of the foreskin, should expand and stretch over the head as it pulls back. When the foreskin is back behind the head, it looks pretty much like a circumcised penis, as the foreskin is gathered back down the penis shaft, or bunched behind the ridge of the head, depending on how far back you pull the foreskin. Rather than try to explain it more, here is a picture of what it looks like to pull back the foreskin. This is from a medical-related site, so hopefully this is OK to post.
Diver, if this isn't appropriate, please remove it. But hopefully you'll find these pictures informative.
In reply to:
And finally, everytime I pee, I always get the smell of pee round my cock, and sometimes people can smell it aswell - which is embarassing - would pulling the foreskin prevent this ? I have no idea at all.
What you are smelling is almost defintely the smegma that has accumulated under your foreskin. This smell is one of the reasons its important to pull back your foreskin each day in the shower and wash under the foreskin. Its just part of good hygiene. If you've never pulled your foreskin back in your life, you will have a LOT of smegma build up, and it may take some work and effort to get it all cleaned off (the stuff can get very sticky). And when you do get your foreskin back the first time, the odor may be very powerful. But, once you get the smegma build up off, and clean it everyday, you will no longer have a smell.
Hope this helps, and good luck!

Well it can get stuck if you are really tight. But if you can pull it back erect without the head getting compressed, you should be OK.

No.. It's not semen. It's called smegma which is just an accumulation on oils an skin cells. You need to wash this off daily to keep clean and healthy.

Unfortunately no. Regular stretching and contact with the head will eventually reduce the sensitivity.

And you can tell people you have "frenulum breve". A Google search on that term might be useful. It's not uncommon, but isn't talked about much.

Im new to this forum & I have a couple of queries with stretching the foreskin, recently I became able to retract the skin behind the head but have since been unable to move the skin down any further. It seems almost immovable & stuck once behind the head. The skin doesn't seem to want to go down the shaft. The other thing I noticed is that the bottom of the head(ridge I think) is not as red as the rest of the head & is a slight greyish colour, could this be due to the fact that the air hasn't been at it? Is this normal?

Hey bud, I wouldn't worry too much about the change in color, I suspect that's about it being covered so much and it'll change in time. Sounds like you need to do just a bit of stretching with the length of your foreskin so that it will easily move over the head of your penis and completely down the shaft. Look around on this thread for information about how best to do that. If you can't find it or need more help just let us know. Main thing is be patient and consistent while doing this, soon you'll see some changes!

Ive had a very tight 4skin from childhood(So tight my frenulum ripped) (Has now been corrected)
Sit in a hot bath for 30mins. Masturbate to get penis fully erect. Gently pull down the 4skin. With the 4skin around the base of the head, tense your pc muscle (This gives a quick surge of blood resulting in a small increase in penis girth. This girth increase is enough to give the tightness of the 4skin a sretch.(imagine having a pee and stopping the flow -thats the PC)
Repeat this as many times as is comfortable. Always do it under water in a warm bath. I did this for 6 months and now my foreskin isnt a problem. It's a GODSEND.

Hi, I am 17 and am concerned about a buildup of smegma! I keep cleaning it off but it seems to keep coming! I guess there maybe a buildup just below the head?
Anyhow, I can pull my foreskin almost all the way back behind the head but whenever its about to happen it feels as though its gunna go and I'm not gunna get it back up over again!
Any suggestions? I really wanna get rid of this - can't be very nice for any women that might hapen to stumble accross it!!
Oh, and one last thing... reading some of the posts in this thread about the foreskin coming so far back during intercourse/oral sex makes me a bit nervous to be honest! I don't wanna get hurt, lol. Infact, its kind of a putoff, although it probably shouldn't be!
Whats best to do? Just get it used to being back so it dosn't hurt, or tell her not to pull it back so far(When the time comes, lol)?!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Okay guys, this is dead simple, you have a foreskin, 1. i am very envious and 2. you can treat a tight hood easily.
Dependant on how tight it is depends on how long this is gonna take.
initially all you need to do is when peeing is pull back your foreskin comfortably if it hurts youve gone to far. This could take up to four weeks!!
Then as the distance you can retract this gets further then investigate stretching in the bath / bed / toilet when soft or hard (lets face it we all enjoy playing with it).
Once you can fully retract your foreskin you can pull it back fully on a daily basis to rinse it and keep it clean. If you stop doing this retraction daily after 2 weeks you could be back to having a tight foreskin.
If your skin goes to far and becomes trapped all you have to do is squeeze your glans tightly and this will remove the blood from it so you can push it back under your foreskin.
I would also like to point out that anyone under 20 years old could still have an attached foreskin. At birth the foreskin is attached to the glans (bell-end / helmet) and gradually releases as the penis grows with time. There is no specified time as to how long this will take.
If it all gets to much and you go to the doctor YOU DO NOT NEED A CIRCUMCISION (rant over) you need a topical steroid cream to massage into the skin to help stretch it. This is why I am circumcised (I was 3)
Hope this helps you all

Hmmmm, sounds like you have a proper phimosis issue. Dependant on who you see they will either recommend circumcision NO!dont do it and dont let them do it. A dorsal slit (this makes your dick look really messy, hardly good for the changing rooms at the gym) or stretching. As i previousley mentioned the steriod cream helps (betnovate/dermovate) this can be used in conjunction with initially cotton bud sticks and then on to a surgical spreader (a pair of blunt pliers that open up as you close the handles) these are inserted into the opening with the cream and gentle tension apllied then sit like this for an hour and relax next day same again, you should start to see things moving. If you cant get any further or it bleeds or is just refusing to move then that could be an indicator of BDX (ballantines) this needs treatment by a specialist urologist not some GP and local hospital. Are you US or UK based, this will help in identifying your possible routes of treatment.
Hope this helped Jacob

UK based helps, unfortunatley for most of the guys here I am guessing they are from the states, you will find a UK doctor much more willing to look at solving your problem without slicing your hood off. Just be insitant if you go and see a quack you dont want a circumcision its the worst thing possible.

Jacob

I'd suggest doing the stretches for a few weeks, if there are no signs of improvement, then drop in to see the doc

As diver has said, go see the doc only when you have tried stretching the foreskin for a few weeks. For all of those of you who are unsure what it all should look like take a look at this link. (via warning) it has been produced by a group wishing to halt circumcision in children.
http://infocirc.org/townsend/anatomy.htm
(moderators- hope this is all right, I will undrestand if it is removed)
It will also highlight problems with circumcised penisis for those with questions.
Be thankful Ive spent the last 3 years trying to stretch the shaft skin to get the foreskin that was taken away from me.
Hope this all helps and good luck!!!

Alias,
Your doing fine, just work on the stretches that have been recommended to the others here and in few weeks you should see a massive improvement. The skin of the penis should be able to be drawn right back to expose all of the glans and the frenulum underneath.
Yeah it will feel wierd, remember the head of your penis has been covered since birth, and the wierd feeling will give way to so much more v.soon.

Hi,
First a little background - I'm 18 and suffer from a tight foreskin - never pulled it back before. I've started doing the stretching in the bath and am making some progress.
Obviously it's very sensitive when pulled back, and theres quite a big of smegma down there - all of which I have reached so far seems to wash away upon contact with water.
Unfortunately theres some very hard smegma (at least I assume it is smegma) around the top of the foreskin (only visible when I start to pull back). Any ideas on how to remove this, as I can't really see it budging.
So far it seems the frenulum side of the skin is retracting the least, hopefully this is natural and it's not a 'short frenulum' case.
I've recently started going out with a girl and I imagine we'll have sex sometime in the next month or two, so I'm pretty anxious about it all. Hohum 
Any advice welcome.

Okay, when you say at the top of the foreskin do you mean around your meteus (pee hole) or further down (behing the glands) It sounds like you could have calcified smegma, not much to panic about but needs a bit more work to remove.
1st you need to work the head of your penis from the outside massage the head and glans all round in a hot bath, this should give you some idea of the qty and location of the trouble.
2nd you will then need baby oil or something similar this helps to soften it up and make it more comforttable to remove. Put some oil on the end of a cotton bud and gently thats real gently start to work away at the edge of the hard stuff, rest for a minute or two to let it all soak in and then go at it again, you should start to feel it move around a bit, with the possibilty that some of it will break away.
If you have real issues getting this stuff off, keep up the stretching but go and see your doctor. He will be able to offer prescription creams to help remove this stuff. He may suggest circumcision. Dont let em touch it, until you have experienced the fluid motion of your foreskin. Then you can make up your own mind, a circ will not cure it, its just easier for the doctors
As for the tight frenulum, lets worry about that one in a few days / weeks
Hope this helps, let me know when youve tried it for the first time, as to how it went

Firstly, thank you very much for replying.
The hard smegma extends no more than 1cm down from the top (at least, what I have discovered so far). It is really quite hard; I've just been picking at it with no luck at all. I'll try tomorrow morning in the bath.
Quote from a site :
"Without correct treatment, ill health of the foreskin is liable to worsen --- formation of smegma continues and, without outlet or access for cleansing, deposits collect and harden within the foreskin cavity. Such compact masses of smegma can lead to chronic disease, and even prepare the way for cancerous changes.
Cancer of the penis is not common in the United States but is frequent in certain tropical countries. It is almost always associated with uncleanliness and longstanding ill health of the penis. Usually, a preceding phimosis is present. Since the tumor commonly develops with such a closed foreskin cavity, it has been considered that retained smegma could be the cancer-inducing agent."
This really doesn't instil me with confidence. Argh.
PS. I'm in the UK also so doubt the docs will be eager to dive in with the cut.

I suspect the cancer-inducing agents come from the result of bacteria infecting the smegma. At 18, it's extremely unlikely that there would be a cancer. But do keep working at it (gently though, don't hurt yourself ripping it off). Patience is the key.

Thanks for reassuring me . Didn't really get anywhere this morning with the baby oil but I will persist in the next few days before going to the docs.
The stretching is definitely helping though, pretty promising.
Thanks again you two.

You might find a vegetable oil softens it better than baby oil. Baby oils are usually based on mineral oil, which is a poorer solvent.

Help me please! My foreskin goes back over my penis, only with some difficulty when erect, but it wont slide back any further, and when i have sex it annoyingly slides back forward all the way down, (My foreskin is quite long). This is annoying since when i put a condom on, the whole thing rolls forward with the foreskin.
Thanks for ur help

tamale, sounds like there are 2 things you need to start doing. 1. Stretching the skin of the foreskin should retract fully and go forward fully when erect or soft with no restriction of movement. 2. Putting on a condom. You need to pull your foreskin back as far as possibe roll the condom over the head and down the shaft, when you get as far as possible let all the skin roll forward (with the condom lining the inside of the foreskin and continue to roll the condom down the remaining shaft.
Contrary to popular playground belief they are not that long to accomodate well enodwed men but are for the purpose of rolling out as specified.
Let us know how you get on.

Hello again.
Firstly, some good news, I managed to get quite a lot of the hardened smegma off this morning by putting the shower on its most concentrated nozzle and blasting it off Still some left in more delicate places but I will persist.
Secondly, another question. Say you are stretching and attempting to retract whilst flaccid. Is it normal for the foreskin to jump straight back to the top when you let go? Obviously this is caused by the fren, but will this stop once it has stretched some more? Thanks.

Hello, Blasted with a shower Head OUCH!!!!  if you could clarify does your skin retract when your hard or do you have that much skin its always wanting to go forward! Whatever the case its obvious you are making progress, following on from the previous advice using oil, might I suggest you apply some in the morning (after your bath) and let it soak all day. With your elastic foreskin I cant see any problems with oil getting everywhere. And as to it pinging back so quickly thats normal function, the stretching may slow it down a bit but nothing to worry about there.
And could I make a final suggestion when all the smegma is gone and things are functioning correctly, retract your foreskin when you pee, as fully as possible this will keep the tightness from returning.
Let us all know how you get on

Yep, that foreskin is going to work its way back onto/over the head which is where it'll stay unless you move it back during urination, cleaning, masturbation or something sexual. Keep up the good work!
