My boyfriend has said to me resently that he has cronic pain after sex and he is becoming so nersous to have sex any more because of this. I am very worried about what he should do or what I could do to help him?

I am 19 and have a really tight forskin. I am not able to pull it over the head of my penis which I find very annoying especially during sex. It also hurts alot after sex when it has been stretched. What can be done about this situation. I really dont want a circumcision. Any ideas? Thanks

i have a similar problem, when my foreskin is pulled back over my penis when engaging in sex. everything is fine during sex but the next day when i get into the shower and go to clean my penis i notice my foreskin has ripped and stretched and is covered in scars, its extreamly painfull and it hurts when i pass urin for that day aswell. the only explination i can think of is that the head of my penis is too big for my foreskin. is there anything i can do because its starting to become a problem. any advice welcome thank you.

Hi, 4 A wile I Have Had A Strange Rass On The Tip Of My Penis But It Doesnt Itch Or Hurt Or What Ever Im Just Worried About It.When I Have An Erection It Streches With My Penis But It Had 2 Tiny Spots On It.
Help… Im Worried

i am terrified that my penis is smaller than average. my last girlfriend dumped me because of it and im too scared to get a new one in case it happens again.

When I pull my foreskin back over the head of my penis it starts to hurt if I have an erection because their is a small section of skin connecting the head of the penis to the foreskin and it becomes very tight and uncomfortable.

When i pull back my foreskin it goes most of the way but then is attached by a small layer of skin to the rim of my penis im really worried, is this normal

Hi,

Im a 23 year old male who is worried about his penis. Underneath my foreskin the head of my penis is sometimes irritable & i have noticed it becomes red in colour , from the tip, to the base, but not all ver. I have been to the GUM clinic & have had tests for everything. Including HIV, as this scares me the most. Everything was negative. This all started a year ago, and is sometimes worse than at others, my GP sent me to a Urologist, bt he said there was nothing he could do and that the redness was a blood flow under the suface ( it never used to be like that though. I was with acqueious cream every day and am trying to get on with my life & blank this out. But Whever i go back to my GP, I swear he thinks thaat im just making this up.As whenever he has examined me, he says i look normal. But I know my body & this is not right. Please can you give me some advice, as i really have knowhere else to turn. My wife is pregnant & I really want to focus on that, but this is a constant distraction, even when at work.

Please help! Thanks
