Phimosis is a word that comes into English from Greek. It is the name given to the condition of having a foreskin that does not retract. A foreskin will not retract when the tip of it is too narrow to glide back over the glans penis so that the glans penis is exposed. Phimosis is classified as a condition, not a disease. It does not threaten health so treatment of it is elective.

Phimosis is not an uncommon condition. Men with phimosis frequently ask, "Can I have sex with phimosis?" There is wide normal variation in penile anatomy, but the answer usually is yes if certain steps are followed.

When a man with a normal retractable foreskin inserts his penis into his female partner's vagina, the walls of the vagina grip the foreskin and cause it to glide back into its retracted position. When a man with a tight non-retractable foreskin inserts his penis into his female partner's vagina, the walls of the vagina will attempt to retract his foreskin. If the foreskin is very tight the foreskin will not retract, but if the foreskin is only semi-tight, it may be forced to retract, which is very painful and makes continued intercourse impossible.

There are several actions that may prevent a painful retraction.

  • Penetration should not be attempted until the female partner is sexually aroused and her vagina is well lubricated with secretions from her Bartholin's glands.
  • Personal lubricant should be applied to the non-retractile foreskin.
  • Wearing a condom over the unretracted foreskin will usually prevent retraction.

There is a lot of variation in individual anatomy, so this may not work for everyone.
