    I've known about my tight foreskin and more recently a inflamed penis since I was about 15 (I've just turned 18 now). And I've always tried stretching, but it's never worked.

    During April I finally after 2.5 years told my parents about it, asking for help. I went to a Dr. and he had a look and made an appointment to see a Urologist (Someone who specialises in penis's basically)

    I know it's the worst thing in the world having to do, but I'd recommend going to the doctors about it,

    To solve phimosis (tight foreskin):

    Masturbating in the wrong way can cause phimosis.

    Scientific study: http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/bea...

    The penis basically consists of 3 balloons that fill with blood on erection.

    See Diagram: http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/265769o

    Masturbating can be damaging to the penis if you apply too much pressure. It damages the spongy tissue structure. Consequently the 3 spongy chambers do not fill out with blood and expand the skin. Consequently you end up with a tight foreskin. So what you need to do is allow repair to happen. Don't masturbate as much. And when you do masturbate, don't do it for a long time. Too much masturbation (especially with the wrong technique) can also cause micro-tears in the skin, which form scar tissue; scar tissue is less elastic than unscarred tissue.

    So, make sure you are not using a damaging masturbation technique. Just lightly grip the penis and move the foreskin up and down.

    Once the inside structure starts to repair, the chambers will inflate to their proper position and this should expand the outside skin. In time, it will then be easier to retract the foreskin over the head.

    Tips to increase penis size:

    You should do the following from the ages of 14 to 21.

    1.Stay lean, thin and muscular with exercise such as running and weights.

    2.Eat well.

    3.Don't masturbate too much, and when you do, don't damage penis by applying too much pressure

    Exercise increases testosterone, the male hormone. Weights are especially good for this.

    Being thin means less cholesterol (the fatty stuff that clogs blood vessels), consequently testosterone is more effective.

    Being thin also means there is more blood flow to the penis; so when you get spontaneous erections it stretches out the 3 spongy chambers of the penis. See diagram: http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/265769o

    Don't masturbate too much as this depletes energy and effects hormone levels.

    The penis was not designed for the strong pressure of the hand. Over-masturbation is likely to damage the delicate spongy chambers of the penis. This leads to energy being diverted into repairing the penis rather than growth.

    I would avoid spending time on the computer as this resists the temptation to look at porn and masturbate. Also the electro-magnetic radiation from the monitor is not good for you if your head/brain is too close to it.

    You should be getting spontaneous erections. Erections are good for expanding out the penis with blood. This happens a lot during sleep. The herb Ginkgo baloba has also been proven to increase blood flow and open up blood vessels. You can buy them in tablet form (just do a google search).

    So be thin, muscular and don't masturbate too much.

    Other masculine traits will result from this too: deep voice, angular jaw, pronounced forehead and big space between eyes.
