If, after puberty, you can't easily retract your foreskin over the head of your dick (it also shouldn't hurt), you have a very unhygienic problem called phimosis.
It can be self cured with regular stretching but sometimes you will need a doctor to prescribe a steroid cream to assist with this, the worst cases can require circumcision.
I had this problem until I was 19. I couldn't retract the skin because it was so painful. I had a very short frenulum so I couldn't even masturbate. I went to a doctor, he said I should circumcise. DO NOT circumcise your skin. There's a much simpler operation where you just cut and remove the frenulum. I learned this from Google, the operation lasted 15 minutes and my recovery was extremely fast
Damn, you had the male clitoris removed? That really sucks, I feel for your loss :-(
What? Since when is the frenulum the male clitoris?
The penis is the male clitoris
Yeah, maybe they mixed it up.
It isn't. The analogous structure is the entire glans.
It's actually the whole penis. The glans is only the glans of the clitoris. The other parts (internal) of the clitoris, in the case of a penis, are the whole shaft.
The labias (the large ones) are your scrotum.
It was that or no sex at all. At least I got to keep my skin, so the sensation stayed the same. When you are circumcised you loose a lot of feelings down there
Uh, no. I mean, only get surgery if you must, and mutilation of babies is wrong, but that is not the male clitoris.
