> # Phimosis/Frenulum issues
> Written by Phil at 21 May 2007 01:24:27: I am an 18 year old virgin and have not been circumcised. For my entire life I have been unable to pull my foreskin past my glans (in either a flaccid or turgid state). Until a year or so ago I've been blissfully unaware that I had a problem and just assumed it was normal. When I began masturbating at the age of 13/14, I soon became accustomed to masturbating in more of an upwards manner, in order to ensure I didn't pull down too hard on my foreskin as it would be painful. I came across your website (amongst others) and realise that clearly my penis should not be like this. As explained, my problem is that I cannot retract my foreskin past my glans (in fact, it can barely go half way) - I don't have a pinhole issue, my foreskin stretches a reasonable (to me anyway!) amount. When I get an erection, I do not have any pains, however if my foreskin is pulled back too far it can be painful and red. The reasons for my difficulties are the fact that my foreskin doesn't stretch enough (which I've gathered is phimosis) and that it is attatched to my glans (which I've also gathered is frenulum breve). My foreskin is attatched to my glans at the end (a few millimetres from where I urinate). Up until now I haven't been particularly bothered with this problem, however with the possibility of a sexual relationship in the future it is high on my agenda to get sorted! What treatment would you recommend in order to solve my problem, and do you need any further information relating to it?
