My foreskin is really tight and won't pull back no matter how hard I try is there any way to fix this without surgery? I've heard about stretching or steroid creams do those actually work?

Yes, it's possible to manage a tight foreskin (phimosis) without surgery. Stretching exercises and topical steroid creams are effective non-surgical treatments.

I'm wondering if applying olive oil every day to the penis and glans might lead to a loss of sensation there. Just a bit worried and curious about the possible effects it could have. Could this actually make the area less sensitive over time?
Daily massage with olive oil on the penis and glans is unlikely to cause a sensationless penis. However, excessive or improper use of any oil or substance could potentially lead to irritation or sensitivity issues. It's important to consult a healthcare provider if you experience any unusual changes or discomfort.
