It's possible to have sex with phimosis, even without full retraction, but it may be uncomfortable or painful. Using a condom and ample lubricant can help. However, if the foreskin is severely tight, sexual activity could cause tearing or pain. Surgery (circumcision) might be recommended in more severe cases, but it's not always necessary

I'm 28 and considering circumcision. I'm a bit worried about whether there might be any impact on size after the procedure. Also, what are the benefits of getting circumcised at this age? Any insights would be really helpful.

Circumcision at the age of 28 is generally safe and can have several benefits. The procedure can help reduce the risk of certain sexually transmitted infections, such as HIV. It may also lower the risk of urinary tract infections and penile cancer. In terms of size effect, circumcision does not have a significant impact on penile size. The most common pros of circumcision include improved hygiene, decreased risk of infections, and potential reduction in the risk of certain medical conditions. If you decide to undergo circumcision at the age of 28, it is important to follow post-operative care instructions provided by your healthcare provider.

I recently got married and had an issue during sex with my wife. It seems like the skin connecting the inner part of my penis got torn. The doctor I saw recommended a frenuloplasty. I'm really worried about having surgery and would love to know if there are other options to fix this without going through with an operation. Could you suggest any alternatives?
