" Question The tip of my penis is extremely sensitive.  It has been like this for as long as I can remember. I am 21, not circumcised and I cannot touch it.  My foreskin is also tight - sex is sometimes painful if my foreskin goes back and the tip of my penis is exposed.   Answer Congratulations on summing up the courage to ask your question.  I can certainly understand your anxiety. Normally the foreskin separates from the head of the penis or glans during infancy, although it may take longer in some children.  Once this has happened it gradually stretches so that it can retract back behind the glans even in the erect penis. As you have found this normally occurs during intercourse. However, if the foreskin is very tight (phimosis) and unable to retract, it may cause discomfort during intercourse.  In many men, providing the tightness is not due to scarring and there is no swelling or inflammation secondary to infection (balanitis), the foreskin will gradually stretch until it will comfortably retract.  Sensitivity of the exposed glans under these circumstances is commonplace, with the body adjusting over time.  Gentle retraction of the foreskin regularly when you are in the bath or shower will encourage the natural process.  Very often one finds that the condition will improve, but if this strategy fails, you will need to seek advice from your doctor about adult circumcision.
