Shrimp on my penis?

Brian Collins25 said:What do you mean? When did you even find out? Like, did you at least get a physical back in middle school? They check stuff like that during routine exams... and honestly, what does that have to do with love, romance, or sex? 🤷

Exactly. -> MK

Look, I don't think you're seventeen; you sound more like a thirteen-year-old. Go see a doctor properly.
It might be phimosis. One quick snip and you'll be good as new in a few weeks.☕

Go talk to the school counselor—they’ll figure out what you need to do.

Not a psychologist, a psychologist...

🙄 and then you go and screw it up too...
you could have just closed this nonsense or moved it over to the teen section. ☕

copperbear60 said:Oh, and one more thing—I know for a fact, based on my own childhood memories, that my parents used to give me a little treat or a small gift pretty regularly until I was about three years old...

Wait, how exactly do you "know for a fact" 😕 and why on earth did the gifts just stop right when you turned three?🤷

It’s not even about the slang, honestly—it’s more about the local lingo. People there just seem to get exactly what you're saying, no matter how much you twist the words.😁

My main worry is that I won't be able to pull it back down, even though I haven't actually tried yet. I've read a ton about this because the thought crosses my mind constantly. I know there are guys who can't retract at all when they have an erection because it's just too tight for both the skin and the shaft. In my case, the size is pretty standard—actually, if I'm being honest, it's a bit longer and thicker. It isn't dry, it's fine, but I have this nagging fear of pulling it back. A few times I've touched near the opening, and it was pretty uncomfortable, so I'm worried it'll hurt when I try to slide the skin back. Also, looking back at when I was little, my parents used to clean and retract everything regularly until I was maybe three. Can anyone help me out? Is this an actual issue or am I just being paranoid? I'm 17.

If you physically cannot pull the skin back over the head, you're dealing with phimosis. If it's only an issue during an erection, then it's considered partial.

Phimosis needs to be addressed for hygiene reasons—otherwise, you risk inflammation of the glans and other complications—and to prevent tearing of the skin or the frenulum during sex.

Treatment depends on how severe it is. My advice would be to talk to a doctor first and see if you can stretch the skin using steroid creams. Otherwise, surgery is an option, usually done as an outpatient procedure under local anesthesia. It's nothing to fear; it's quick, and you go straight home afterward.

@ others: what's your experience?
