I’m afraid that my glans will hurt.

Hey
I have a question.
I don't dare to clean my glans. I'm afraid it will hurt too much. I'm also afraid of putting a condom over my glans.
Could anyone help me?

Hey Anonymous

I assume that pulling back the foreskin causes you pain. However, a so-called phimosis, or narrowing of the foreskin, is completely normal in young people and usually grows out during puberty. If this is not the case and it bothers you in your everyday life, then it is best to discuss this with a urologist. There are special creams that help to stretch the foreskin. Only in very rare cases does the foreskin have to be removed. Be sure to get good advice.
