Ripped foreskin

When I was about 12-13, being a teenage boy I used to masturbate alot, at some point I ripped some of the foreskin at the top where it is attached to the head, basically ripping the foreskin off the head. I had no idea what this was about, so in some sort of childish innocence I assumed it was meant to happen, and fairly painfully ripped it off all the way around, to this day I have no idea why the hell I did that... At any rate, it healed up, but my foreskin isn't attached to the head of my penis at all apart from the bit at the front. fast forward about 12 years, I've been far too embarrassed to ever see a doctor about it, it hasn't been a really major issue, penetrative sex is fine, and I can still masturbate, however I've found receiving oral sex, and hand jobs to be fairly painful, the foreskin gets stuck behind the head so the skin gets trapped. Yea, so I guess what I'm asking is, what the hell is this, I haven't had any luck trying to find information on this condition on the net?

Thanks

Hi;  (SOLUTION)

I first had this when i was around 13- 14 (now 32) while masturbating. The skin down below the penis head got ripped. At the time; the body was strongly healing itself so in years, everything got ok. Experienced the the same after years later on, searched the web whether there were any solutions in years but saw that a lot of people have this so just wanted to share how i deal with it. First of all: This will not exactly heal if you do not take care of it... I did the same things most people did... didnt have sex for months used creams etc... Then I went to a urolog doc. He advised a medical cream called Dermovate (GSK), used it twice a day ( in the morning and before bed) for a week... The skin got healed but i had to try havin sex. BUT rule number 1: The female has to wet before physically having your penis in. So the foreplay must be done.... Dry vajina will immediately torn the skin again. For the first couple of tries, try to be gentle. It worked for me.. since 2 months, i have no problem.( you must still ask your doc. the advised medical cream.) Hope it helps.
Peace

Hi,

It sounds like you have torn the frenulum of the foreskin. This is a short band of skin where the foreskin attatches to the meatus of the glans. In some males, me as well this band of skin is very tight or short. When the penis is flacid this has very little effect however when erect it can cause the glans to point down.
As a child as well while playing with my penis, I too tore this a bit, however most of the frenulum is still intact. The only time that it causes me a problem is when I pull the foreskin back too far. During intercourse one has little control over how extensive one penetrates. If this continues to be a problem for you, you can have the frenulum cut. This can be done in a doctor's office with a local freezing. The area heals very fast and it will take care of the problem with the tight band of skin. It will stop the glans from being pulled down when the foreskin is retracted during an erection.
One problem that I had after getting married is the fact that the glans almost got to a 90 degree angle with the penis during full insertion. A lot of semen came back out as the penis was withdrawn.
When the frenulum tore when I was a child, I also cut it a bit as it felt very tight to me. There was no negative result from cutting it, but I would not reccomend to do this yourself.

All the best/

Ron
