Phimosis or typical foreskin resistance in young man?
Hello! M18 here, and I’ve only somewhat recently discovered that the foreskin is meant to be peeled back (I have also been rather frightened of exploring sexual things or greater sex organs so keep in mind) and have inconsistently tried to slowly get it back so I can clean it. As is, I’ve been primarily been focused on stretching the outer rim (my foreskin extends about half an inch past the glans) due to more of a feeling of progress and comfort than peeling straight back, yet I know that peeling straight back is the answer. What I’ve seen of the glans is bright pink with the tip a bit darker but I haven’t been able to stretch past the upper rim of the tip. When I stretch back the skin immediately surrounding gets slightly reddish and it feels very tight. How do you wonderful and helpful folks that have read all this think I should proceed, even beyond diagnosis / if this an emergency?
