Time for circumcision?

I am 25 years old and i recently had problems with a short frenulum. After having the frenuloplasty operation I am very disappointed to discover that although this has made a difference to me when I am flaccid, it has not made a difference when I am erect, as I still have a tight band of skin that stops after it has come back over the glans, stopping just behind, and it is not possible to retract it any further. I am very frustrated, as i do not wish to have another operation but I do not believe that sex is possible. Without sounding boastful, there is a larger difference than with most people between when i am flaccid and erect and I feel this is where the doctor may not have picked up on there being a problem. I certainly do not wish to have a circumcision. Are there any other options?

Thanks.

Oh, I see. But is it so tight that stretching exercises would not improve the situation? This is just skin and as such it is elastic. Stretching it carefully and systematically should make it more loose after some time.

I'm not sure if i made clear that it is the band tight band of foreskin now causing the problem, not the frenulum. Thanks.

Well, I am afraid not, except if you decide to go for one more operation. But you have to make more than clear to the doctor what exactly the problem is. Hoping that he is experienced enough in similar situations, he should normally be able to correct it without going to circumcision.
