Foreskin doesn't retract

It has never retracted and I'm 18 now. This is leading to pain during sex. Why is this happening and what are my options?

Most circumcisions performed on boys during childhood and adolescence are unnecessary: they are the result of inadequate knowledge of anatomy, unawareness of alternatives, poor judgement or misdiagnosis of foreskin problems.
Next Steps
The foreskin is usually retractable by age eighteen. (10) Even if the glans and foreskin separate before then, the foreskin may still not be retractable because the opening of the foreskin may still be very tight and only flexible enough to allow the passage of urine.
