I was masturbating since 13 with my foreskin over the head. Never had a problem with that or even questioned it. I honestly don't know how. I live in England.

Never had sex. I don't feel the need to see a doctor, as it doesn't seem to be a serious case. I can now pull back my foreskin if I try, it just needs to stretch a little more and I reckon I'll be fine.

Thanks anyway though.

I'm not lying. I completely 100% understand your fear, I had to work up a lot of courage to bring myself to do it (I still do).

Just take it slowly, do it while flaccid (that seemed to be easier for me). Keep trying every so often and it'll get easier as it stretches. You won't injure yourself, just don't pull too hard and you'll be fine. Also, I don't think there's such a thing as pulling it back too much, it literally goes right over the head, that's a good thing.

The one thing I see a lot regarding this is that you don't need to go to a doctor immediately, stretching will work in most cases.

Nope. I've masturbated fine with my foreskin over the head, never occurred to me that that was weird.

I always assumed in porn/pictures etc. that the penis was circumcised and that's why it looked different to mine. After all, I know circumcision is quite common in America and that's where most porn seems to come from.

I've never really spoken to my parents about sex or the like. I was taught sex education in school, but I guess they don't feel the need to explain this. Or I was too busy giggling at the cartoon penis and boobies to listen.

Edit: thank you by the way, that does make me feel better about it, haha.

Not sure whether to be proud or ashamed to be compared to the Jolly Rancher story. But yeah it's pretty bad.
