I'm an 18-year-old guy and I've got this really tight foreskin, like phimosis or something. I can't pull it back when Im hard and not even when Im soft. It moves a little but stops when the opening gets to about a centimeter. Trying to move it further hurts a lot, so stretching it seems impossible. I've never had sex, and Im worried about how this might affect things. Is having sex possible with this condition, or am I going to need circumcision? I'm really hoping to avoid that if I can.

-It's still possible to have sex with phimosis, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. You could try gentle stretching exercises or consult a doctor about other treatment options like topical creams or non-surgical methods, which may help avoid circumcis

View allI've heard some Muslim brothers get surgery on their penis for better sexual pleasure for their partner. Is that actually a thing? What does it involve and are there any risks or benefits I should know about?
Penile enhancement surgeries exist but lack medical consensus and carry risks like scarring or nerve damage; not typically recommended for pleasure alone.

I'm 32 and considering circumcision but worried about how it might affect erections and sensitivity afterward will there be any long-term changes in those areas
Circumcision in adulthood generally does not lead to significant, long-term negative changes in erectile function or sensitivity. Studies have shown that most men report no noticeable difference in these areas after circumcision, and some even report increased sensitivity and research from the Journal of Sexual Medicine.

my frenulum feels tight when erect and my penis bends a bit when relaxed but the foreskin moves down fully a surgeon recommended frenuloplasty but I'm not sure whether to go for the stitched or stitchless option how painful is the surgery and how long does it take to recover
Frenuloplasty, a surgery to address a tight frenulum, can be performed with or without stitches, and the choice between stitched and stitchless options depends on individual factors and surgeon preference. The procedure itself is generally minor, with recovery times varying but typically taking a few weeks. While some pain and discomfort are possible after the procedure, it's not typically a painful surgery.
