Old-fashioned way: A guy whose foreskin pulls back all the way when not erect, but is tight during erection, should be able to fix the problem by stretching his foreskin twice a day until it slides back and forth over the glans (head of the penis) easily during an erection. One simple way to stretch foreskin is to create an erection while pulling the foreskin back halfway and letting the glans stretch the foreskin.

Phimosis: This is phimosis. Rollin the skin back can choke the head of the penis (paraphimosis) and can be a serious matter. Get checked by a urologist.
