Hi, I am 23 years old and I am not able to pull the foreskin back. Is there any natural way to loosen the skin without any surgeries? Also will it affect my sex life? Thanks

Inability to retract the foreskin can lead to infections and might cause issues with intercourse. There is only surgical option to treat this.
