Phimosis is a word that came into English from Greek. It is the name given to the condition of having a foreskin that does not retract.[1] A foreskin will not retract when the tip of it is too narrow to glide back over the glans penis,[1] 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.
In newborn boys and toddlers, phimosis is natural and normal. It protects the glans penis from injuries and contamination. This natural phimosis, which is an adhesion of the foreskin to the glans due to synechia, usually resolves by puberty, and in some men even later.
Can I have sex with phimosis?
Phimosis in men 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.[2]
When an intact 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. When the foreskin is very tight the foreskin absolutely will not retract, so the man may have sex without fear of inadvertent retraction. Some men report complete success with a non-retractile foreskin.[3]
However if the foreskin is only semi-tight, it may be forced to retract during penetration, which can be very painful and can make 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.
- Penetration should be done slowly and carefully with attention to the position of the tight foreskin and preventing retraction.
- Wearing a condom over the unretracted foreskin will usually prevent retraction.
There is a lot of variation in individual anatomy, so these suggestions may not work for everyone.

Quote:The foreskin never retracts, and nor does it cause any kind of problem while having intercourse or masturbating. I have been enjoying a very healthy sex life with my girlfriend since the last two years.
