Hi,Firstly apologies for TMI here!
For a while now my hsb has had tight foreskin which has resulted in a sore foreskin and on ocassion even slight tears in the foreskin after sex etc. Basically (TMI again, sorry), when his penis is erect it is not that easy to pull the foreskin right back over the head - sometimes it is just too tight and we believe he has a mild form of phimosis.
Initially went to GP and she said she thought he needed a circumcision, which we were kind of shocked by. Anyway, we went to see a urologist who recommended stretching it daily to loosen the foreskin and enable him to retract it over the head. There has been some progress and generally it is possible to pull it right back to reveal the head now, which is good, although it still seems a little tight. For example during sex if I am on top and 'in control' so to speak he feels uncomfortable in case I force the foreskin back too far. So it feels only partially successful and we both agree on that.
Has anyone else had this issue? if so, any tips? My hsb isnt anti-circumcision particularly but of course realises it is quite a drastic step. Likewise I love him and if his penis is circumcised or not isnt a deal breaker. The only real fear/worry we have is that it will change our sex lives drastically as we have heard and read all sorts of alarmist reports of reduced sensitivity/heightened sensitivity and some guys really regretting having had the procedure. All of which are a worry. So, I'd love to hear real opinions based on experience which will enable us to better make an informed choice.
Thanks for reading.
