Overly sensitive gland on penis

[joe210291]

About me. I'm 17 years old, I have a normal life with no problems (except one), i go to college like many others, have no problem with my health, weigh 10 stone, 5 foot 10.

Basically, the big head shape gland (i don't know the scientific name), often called by teenagers a 'bellend' is seriously over sensitive, painful. it is only painful if the foreskin is retracted and it is exposed. Me and my girlfriend are both virgins and would very much like to have sex, and have been trying; but I just cant bare the pain and can see that sex will continue to be very traumatic for me. She's a patient girl, but is getting impatient and I fear our relationship is in jeopardy. We've been together for coming up to 3 years and i love her to bits!

Can someone please tell me if they have a similar problem so i don't feel so alone about this whole thing, or even better, tell me exactly what it is and what to do about it. I would see someone or talk to someone about it, but I haven't because of the plain, simple fact that its pretty embarrassing.

Thanks, Joe.

will any creams help like vaceline, i think theres another 1 called something like 'dakorta' which seems to cure every kind of skin related issue like spots and inflamed areas i have ever had.

i tried the water trick, but i cant bring myself to pull down the foreskin in my underwear, i tried but it is miles too painful, even the slightest touch is agonyy! D'=

m8 i have the same problem! i'm 14 (i havnt had sex yet - cos its illegal).
ive been able to pull my forskin back for quite a few years now and i try to wash it often but it hurts a lot. when the foreskin is pulled back its really painful to touch, especially when lifting my finger off it. Whats going on!!?

Dont be afraid of sex being painfull, the first time usually is a bit unsettling more then painfull.... Just try the old trick - first, when you are in the shower, slide the foresking back and apply water to the head.... then rub it gently after awhile, lets say 7-8 times after you did the thing with the water. The last thing is to have the penis with the foresking down in your underwear for lets say, 30-40 mins per day gfor couple of days. The point is for the penis head to lose its sensitivity to touch. It will be unsettling, but at the end it will lower the sensitivity trashold(i tried it and i know of plenty people who tried it too, it works believe me).
