It's not uncommon for some men to experience tightness of the foreskin, especially during retraction. This condition is known as phimosis, where the foreskin is tight and cannot be easily pulled back over the head of the penis. If the foreskin retracts fully during sex but feels tight, it may cause discomfort or pain.
Here are a few suggestions:
Gentle Stretching: Sometimes, gentle stretching exercises can help loosen the foreskin. This should be done carefully, without causing pain or injury. Regular stretching over time may improve flexibility.
Topical Treatments: Some doctors might recommend a steroid cream to help soften the foreskin and make it easier to retract. This should only be used under medical supervision.
Consult a Doctor: Since you're experiencing tightness when the foreskin is fully retracted, it's important to consult with a healthcare provider. They can assess whether this tightness might cause problems during sexual activity or if there's a risk of paraphimosis (where the retracted foreskin gets stuck and cannot be returned to its original position, which can be an emergency situation).
Surgical Options: In some cases, if the tightness is severe or causes significant discomfort, circumcision or a less invasive procedure called preputioplasty (which widens the foreskin) may be recommended.
Note: It's important to address this issue sooner rather than later, as untreated phimosis can lead to complications. A healthcare professional can provide the best advice based on your specific situation.
