> so its interesting to note that a wide coronal ridge can sometimes have the same effect as a phimotic ring --- but I bet you the frenulum is holding back further retraction and that this is the essential problem. - OK my usual frenulum check wont work, (that it pulls the foreskin forward again) - so when in the "almost paraphimosis posittion" - I bet the skin under the glans is pulled in tight -- and when retracting this any further the glans bends downwards.

This time, however I did gently and slowly retract it past the widest part, which was slightly uncomfy, but not actually painful - although he did say that oral sex on the fully exposed glans "prickled" and asked me to stop. I assume this is a sensativity problem due to under exposure of the part though.

There is no evidence of a tight ring or band of skin, just... not enough actual flesh to go right around the widest point. Will stretching excercises and cortisone creams help with this, or only with phimotic rings?
