writes:I read apparently only 20% of male men in Britain can retract their foreskins. I'm 14 and cannot. Now I'm not looking for sex at my age, but I'm nervous for sex in the future. I can take it back SLIGHTLY but anymore and it hurts. Any advice?*N.B - I'm 14 so don't say to me "Tell your parents". We aern't all 'in touch' with our parents! I just need advice - how do girls percieve it?*I've also heard its cause by having a "Big d**k"...is that true? lol

 You need to get this sorted. Take the pain now or suffer pain until you eventually have to get it sorted. You cant go through life in pain whenever you get a hard on. You parents should have reconised this problem early in your life although it may seem like a taboo subject to some. See a doctor. Follow his or her advice. I symathise with you as I had to have it done and it is not nice but you need to address this. Just think, If you were an African tribsman they would have done you with a sharp rock, BANG!! So looking at it from that perspective, It is nothing really.

In small children the foreskin is tight and stuck to the glans, but normally begins to separate at about the age of 3 or 4. If the hole in the foreskin looks abnormally tiny, ask your doctor to check.
After the age of 7, it is usually possible to pull the foreskin back over the head (or glans) of the penis, but in some boys this is not possible before the age of 14 or 15. So if you are 13 or 14, do not worry – this is perfectly normal.
If you are 15 or over and cannot pull your foreskin back, it may be too tight.
A tight foreskin is called phimosis . If you have phimosis, you will not be able to wash under your foreskin properly, so a white, cheesy material called smegma can accumulate. Also, if the condition is severe, it may be painful when the penis is erect.
If it is very tight, there is no point in trying to force the foreskin back: you will only cause painful cracks on the inside of the foreskin, which will scar as they heal and make it worse.I suggest that you try gentle stretching, suggests that you try gentle stretching, and http://www.embarrassingproblems.co.uk/penis_contacts.htm#norm advises on how to do this.
If this does not solve the problem, you probably need an operation.
Circumcision is the most common operation. The surgeon separates the foreskin from the head of the penis (if it is stuck down), cuts the foreskin away and closes the incision with stitches. The glans will seem very sensitive after the operation, because it is not used to being exposed. Most men have erections during their sleep, so for a few weeks after the operation, you may wake in the middle of the night with a sore penis; taking a pain-relieving medication at bedtime will help. Wear loose boxer shorts and use a condom during sex for the first month or two.
If the doctor thinks the cause is balanitis xerotica obliterans, steroid creams will be used first; this often relieves the condition for several years, but eventually circumcision is usually needed.
Preputioplasty is a lesser operation. It involves making a vertical incision in the foreskin and then stitching it crosswise to widen the opening; it usually leaves a very normal appearance.
Good Luck.
Take care.

There are a number of possible causes and none of them serious. I do suggest that you see your doctor for advice. It may be that the answer is easy and painless or that your doctor suggests circumcision or a number of other less awkward solutions. But you do need to ask your doc.

It's the old op for you my friend I am afraid. I had it done when I was young. You need to address this. sooner rather than later.
