Average height but overweight, circumcised male with small to average penis about 5 inches. Grower not shower. Small testicles that aren't really hangers.

Started masturbating in mid teens and became sexually active in early 20's and always had a slight left curve but no pain.

Normal sexual experiences nothing damaging.

Had sex and masturbated on regular basis until mid forties.

Stopped having sex on a regular basis and masturbation slowed down over last 2-3 years.

Now I have what is like a tight rubber band/cock ring about 1/3 of the way from head of penis. Also splotchy discoloration on penis head.

Starting about 3-4 months ago and at this time, penis hurts erect or limp. The band area of skin is painful to touch and seems rougher than rest of shaft.

Penis wants to retract into my fat lump around penis and the tight band holds it in unless I become aroused or manually force out.

Take no medications.

Would love any advice or treatment suggestions. Have not sought a doctor yet but planning on it.

Hey amigo - welcome to the Forum.  Surely you'll find a good sense of brotherhood and camaraderie here.  Most of us don't have anyone outside of this forum that we can really discuss these issues with, so this place provides us with that for sure.

Your story isn't very rare, tbh.  Many of us have gone through similar phases, including the sexless marriage phase or at least the "not as often as I like/need" phase.  So you're not in this alone.  Reach out and get the help and support you need.

It's difficult / impossible to give an opinion on the tight band and rough parts on your shaft, etc. without seeing what you're taking about.  After you've posted a few times you'll be able to add some pictures to your thread.  Although awkward at first, I highly recommend that.  It will let all of us see what you're talking about and give some better opinions or ideas.

You can get around the required # of posts to add a picture by adding it to imgur.com and then putting the link in a post here, but either way - in this case a pic is literally worth 1000 words.

We'll help you however we can. You're in the right place.  Hang in there.

Randy

Welcome.  This restriction could be Peyronie's w the plaque encircling your penis in that area.  I'd start by reading the survival guide and then seeing a specialist ASAP.  You're right at age when Peyronie's often hits.

Bring any questions or concerns back after reading the guide and take accurate measurements ASAP so you can monitor closely.
While at the doc be sure to have a full work up if your sexy drive is low (could be testosterone for example).
