Penis is so sensitive it hurts

[Anonymous]

I thought I'd ask this question, in response to a recent thread. Though unrelated, it still made me want to ask. I am uncircumcised, and I have always had problems with my foreskin being too tight at the end. When fully erect, unless I am having sex I cannot retract it. It has been this way as long as I can remember. I have never masturbated using the foreskin or under it, it is just too sensitive. I am probably only making it worse by avoiding it. Under my foreskin is so sensitive that unless I am receiving a lot of intense pleasure in other ways, ie anal, it actually hurts and I will go soft if it continues. I do not like oral done on me for this reason, I either have to continually coach them, or I just hope they stop before I am soft. That's horrible, but I don't like feeling like my dick is high maintenance. Though it seems it is.

Any ideas on what to do? Or maybe on how to desensitize it? Or any advice really.

Thanks.

I have almost the same problem, you're not alone. I can't retract my foreskin when my penis is fully erect, and my glans is very sensitive, it hurts when I touch it sometimes.
I read somewhere that there are some exercises you can do to help with the retraction problem. When you are taking a shower, retract your foreskin repeatedly. And let the water touch your glans so that it gets used to being outside of the foreskin. Do this every time you take a shower. It has really helped me, because at first I couldn't even touch my penis when I retracted my foreskin, because it hurt so much, but now it doesn't hurt anymore. It stills feels a little uncomfortable, but it has definitely gotten better. Hope this helps.

Im glad I am not the only one, because until now I hadn't really heard about it from anyone. I have always retracted it in the shower, as im sure you do, but I can now directly spray it with it being retracted. I am getting better, but it still is a bit too sensitive to enjoy any of it. And again, its been retracted during sex, but thats it, and it was a bit painful afterward. Damn this useless skin.

There are a couple of conditions that are related to what you've described- phimosis and frenulum breve.

There's some thread over in H&W that might help:

OP

Thanks kara, I don't know why I chose to be anonymous, it really doesn't matter. Cleaning is no problem, without an erection it's very easy and I am very pretentious about being clean. Sex isn't even too bad, once I am involved that much I can usually get beyond it, its just sensitive. I am very much an empath and find as much enjoyment out of pleasing others, so with it not hurting during, I am ok with it. It's just the embarrassment of having to say to people, hey careful there its too sensitive. Then I get a weird look like that shouldn't be bad thing. I think it is the worst if someone tries oral. I just need to learn to tell people to keep it out of their mouth. 'Stop that, bad..'

So I guess the stretching part I am working on, but the head is so damn sensitive. Like I said, unless I have excessive stimulation somewhere else, its almost painful. Certainly not a turn on.
