Hey peoples.

K so for some background, I've always realized something was up for years but didn't think to much of it and never bothered to research it. I've never had any problems with peeing or masturbating, and could still pull a small amount back to clean it, so for the longest time I assumed this is how most uncut people just were. However I recently had sex for the first time. Still a good time, but it wasn't very pleasurable and somewhat painful at times. my partner pointed out to me that my foreskin couldn't go back all the way and showed that his easily could (yeah im bi, not relevant).

Afterwards when I mentioned to my brother that I had lost my v card, I brought this up along with. They mentioned our older cousin actually admitted to having this same issue and had to get surgery for it. (It wasn't a circumcision, I forgot it's name and I don't remember completely what the proceedure is, what I do recall is that they cut a part of the frenulum, and you stay awake for it, and surgery on my dick is one of the last things i'd ever want to be awake for).

First I scheduled an appointment at a regular doctor's office, they checked it out and said the frenulum was thick enough to where it could eventually be fixed if i practiced stretching everyday. They scheduled me a steroid cream to help and said to use that twice a day and to practice stretching in the shower (which I already would do to clean it ofc) but they also referred me to a urologist which I saw last week. He on the other hand gave me a more pessimistic outlook. He pushed for cicumsiscion, said it was the most effective solution, especially if the cream does not work. He also mentioned the other surgery my cousin had got was typically meant for older men and not for people my age (said cousin had this procedure around my age and is now in their mid 20's). other than that he said there was no other way to fix this. (which since finding this sub, makes me believe he might have been bullshitting, yet at the same time I don't wanna distrust the guy who decidcated his life to studying how mens dicks work y'know?) Googling the issue afterwards didn't help with that either since alot of forums too pushed for cicumsiscion.

Since using the cream ive seen some improvement but not much. I'm able to stretch back a little bit further but only when I actively and very slowly pull it back. My biggest problem is I don't quite know where exactly to apply the cream, the box it came with was accompanied with a sticker saying to "massage a small pea sized drop to the tight part of the foreskin (inside and out) twice a day" usually I pull back what I can and apply a majority of the cream right onto the frenulum itself and spread the rest throughout the top pinkish part of the foreskin that's up against the head. I can't really apply any underneath in between the foreskin and head when fully pulled back like this so I'm assuming this is what im supposed to do once again but im not confident that this is what im supposed to do.

I also don't know if by "massaging" the cream if it's supposed to be left visible in as you see in the picture, im worried rubbing it all in till its no longer visible will just wear it all off onto my fingers. And as you see it gets onto the head a lot if i stop pulling it back and it retracts.

I'm also wondering how long after or if i even can masturbate with the cream applied. I apply the cream whenever I wake up/fall asleep but also right after I shower (which usually is at night, but not consistently) I usually masturbate right before I go to sleep too.

Like I said since using this I have seen a very small amount of improvement. Browsing this sub and comparing, it doesn't look as if mine is as severe as others on here. I've been able to pull it back some amount prior to this, and granted I am just starting this, but I'm going to be moving across the country very soon and since this all just came up I might not be able to get this cream for some time once im all out of it.

As you can see from the photos ive provided the furthest I can get is just about half way, and that is only when I am actively stretching it out while flaccid. Erect, it doesn't look like there's been too much improvement, and my actual tip is still painfully sensitive when touched. I think like many here the absolute last thing I want to get is a circumcision (or any surgery for that matter, but i have to I probably will, but given it's fucked up history im very anti-circumcision, even for a medical reason.)

I apologize if im not clear on any of the subject matter here, having a dick problem is something ive dreaded ever happening to me and discussing it naturally is difficult, but any help on this I would really appreciate. Thanx <3
