A member asked:

Help! is it possible to have sex even with a tight foreskin?

Dr. George Klauber answered

Specializes in Pediatric Urology

Yes, Possible but: Often very uncomfortable or even painful. Tight foreskin is also unhygienic because penis can not be easily cleaned. Best to consult urologist for treatment, either with prescription strength steroid cream, circumcision or prepucioplasty.

Never had intercourse because of my tight foreskin and now I recognise how stupid I have been for years. I can pull the skin back when erect but its uncomfortable. Do you think I would have difficulty with sex? Or do you think its possible for me?
