Tight foreskin

[Col]

Would a tight foreskin or phimosis have any effect on the size of a mans erection i.e. would it impede the enlargement during arousal?

It's not likely to impede the 'size', but it may stop proper retraction, and produce some discomfort during intercourse. There are health risks associated with inability to draw the foreskin back - it can lead to a build up of bacteria.

The best solution is to see your GP who can advise you if you have a problem that needs treatment, or surgery.

Phimosis is due to persistent infant adhesions, skin bridges, phimotic ring or frenulum breve - anatomically inhibits the relationship between the foreskin and the glans. Which I am sure you already know but in answer to your question about it impeding the erection maybe the following will help

This functionally restricts the erection, often causing pain and difficulty during masturbation or when making love.

As with all other medical issues it is common sense to seek the advice of your GP and I personally Urge you to make an appointment and discuss your "issues" with him.

I hope the above helped if not am sorry but I_Tried

I agree with Andy Hughes, my boyfriend suffers from the same thing but it doesn't seem to affect his size.  If you find it painful to have sex you should try using a small amount of KY jelly or stick to using condoms.  Otherwise speak to your GP, i understand it's a firly common problem.

I have heard that a tight foreskin can slightly affect the size - but not to a huge extent.

There are ways to stretch the opening of the foreskin without surgery. I would investigate that and talk to a urologist.

Do not resort to surgery, when I had my skin trimmed I lost half my manhood, it is no fun trying to manage with just 9"

Rarely a problem with infants, though the older one is the worse the consequences. In the past the usual cry was circumcise - Trim off the foreskin, obviously under local or general anesthetic OK, BUT the healing process, especially with an adult who gets erections. Will be a real wake up.
Another worry is the poor appearance of the member there after for up to a year. In fact if the operation is poorly performed then, that plus excessive scarring caused by stretched stitches will cause embarrassment. Specialist plastic surgeons are best. Also know what tightness you want after circumcision.
On the internet there are sites highlighting the Circ, non circ plus restoring examples.
A tight foreskin can be worked on by yourself with the aid of
creams from you doctor. Tools are available too, however some work on a virtual point stretching principle., rather than over a wider surface. The biggest problem for an adult is the developing of a ring in the foreskin, which is a tight band easily broken with even worse resultant scarring. Search on the INTERNET & I'm sure you will find some interesting help. Good luck -however think hard & long before getting cut. Work on the basis of a non returnable important bit of flesh.
