My Partner's penis gets hard but the tip remains soft. what seems to be the problem?

He's not really my first so i know how it feels so when we did it i felt weird cos the tip of his penis remained soft, so whenever he enters me the sensation is less. And i can't really confront him about it. I don't know if this is normal or if it has something to do with him being uncircumcised

  • If by "the tip" you mean the glans, yes this is completely normal. The glans is a separate structure from the corpora cavernosa and the corpora covernosa is what fills with blood and hardens during erection. The glans naturally has a soft, spongy texture even during erection.

    The reason the glans may be hard on a circumcised penis is due to another reason entirely. It's called keratinization. It's like a callous, the skin thickens and hardens. One of the functions of the foreskin is to prevent this from happening. When the foreskin is removed and the glans is exposed to the elements it keratinizes over time.

    The spongy texture of the glans and the foreskin itself provide a sort of cushioning action during sex, which reduces or eliminates the feeling of friction. If a woman has only had sex with circumcised men previously she may come to associate these feelings of friction with intercourse and interpret the lack of friction with a lack of sensation.

    It just goes to show you the power of perspective. We evaluate the quality of our experiences (at least partly) based on what we expect them to be. It may be different to you but that is actually what nature intended sex to be like. Certainly it's not under your boyfriend's control and it's nothing you can blame him for and it won't do any good to blame him or try to change him. It's just something you have to approach with an open mind and adapt to.

    • It's not something you should blame yourself for either, by the way. It doesn't mean he's not attracted to you.

  • I'm guessing he has a circulatory issue that can be easily remedied. He needs to see a good urologist and get checked out. The glans gets much more firm during and erection and if I understand you correctly, a bit of the shaft is also not fully erect.

  • He isn't fully excited and the blood flow just not string enough. Do u do much to get him going or just expect him to perform regardless?

    • I do, we do different positions etc. And he's always the one to start it so i guess he's horny enough. But its always like that. The tip isn't getting any harder and whenever i notice it its turning me off a bit cos yeah i feel like he's not that excited

    • I checked mine it is hard so maybe he has a problem with it im not sure. Im only an expert in my own cock and can tell u anything about it lmao. Is it enough to put u off him though and split up? Its not the greatest of excuses so if u do split up then don't tell him that is the reason it will knock his confidence then none of it will be hard

    • Oh okay, thanks!

  • The tip is never as hard as the shaft.

  • Being that he's uncircumcised, when he's hard does the skin over his head come down or is it always up? I'm uncircumcised too and my skin rolls down when I'm hard exposing my head. Some guys have tight foreskin and can't do that, that's something he'd have to go to a Dr for as its a condition. Also, does he have a lot of foreskin that can be it too?

    • Uhm, i don't really get to look at it.. and i don't have the guts to ask him about it :( but thanks

    • Well tbh honest this is how his dick is and either you stay with him and accept it or find another guy who is more physically appealing to you? Btw, how do you have sex if you don't really get to look at it?

  • The problem is that you have a poor knowledge of anatomy. The glans is not supposed to be rock hard.

    • Like i've said he's not my first so i know that it could be rock hard. And its not hard at all
