the doctor might tell you that you have
phimosis... a condition where the foreskin
is too tight to fit around the glans and
shaft of the penis. There are special
ointments and stretching techniques you
can try that your doctor will talk to you
about.

No she will not need to see you
hard...basically she will need to touch it
to see if she can manually pull it back.
My son had phimosis so I know about that.
Basically when a male is born, the
foreskin is still attached to the head of
the penis. At around two years of age, the
foreskin will naturally start to seperate
away from the head. If it does not happen
or only happens a little bit, you may need
a circumcision or special creams and
exercizes to help the foreskin roll back.
And if you get hard, don't panic. Its
perfectly natural and your doctor is a
professional and will think nothing of it.
