Foreskin too tight

QUESTION:

The foreskin doesn't comfortably come back over the head of my penis as it is too tight. It feels like cheese wire is mutilating my penis. Is circumcision a good idea?

ANSWER:

    Robert W. Birch, Ph.D., ACS Certified Sexologist

If your foreskin is not slipping down over the rim on the head of your penis, it might well be too tight. A danger is that during vigorous intercourse it might get pushed down or torn in the process. Consult a urologist about circumcision. It might be possible to do a partial procedure that allows you to keep most of your foreskin but cuts away the tight opening at the end. But do seek medical advice on this.
