Phimosis: It sounds like you may be suffering from phimosis, which is a condition found in uncircumcised men and boys in which the glans, or head, of the penis becomes trapped behind the foreskin. There is usually a tight ring in the foreskin that makes it difficult to retract the foreskin over the glans. This can get worse with time, and i suggest you see an urologist for an examination and treatment.

My foreskin is fairly tight when my penis is erect, the tip and part of the head can exit out of the foreskin however I am unable to get it past the head fully. Is this natural or do I need to see a doctor? I can retract it fully when flaccid?
I have phimosis, my penis is 2" when flaccid and has excess foreskin, but when erect it is 6". I feel like stretching exercises are not going to help me with the progress I see. Sex has no pleasure with condom. I take 40min to cum and need tight grip?

I'm 21 & about a yr ago I properly learned how to clean & peel back my foreskin. I am able to peel it back when flaccid (from practice), but it is difficult to do when erect. Are stretching exercises when erect the best way to help tight foreskin?
