All boys are born with a naturally tight foreskin that can not be retracted. This is normal. During childhood the foreskin will gradually loosen, and by puberty most boys can fully retract their foreskin. Before a boy can retract his foreskin, washing the penis head is not necessary, but once he can comfortably pull his foreskin back on his own, he should wash his penis daily in the bath or shower.
Some boys foreskin remains tight and is unable to go back for the head. If by puberty the foreskin is still tight and can not be retracted, then this is called primary phimosis. One cause of primary phimosis is attempting to force back the foreskin before it can be pulled back easily. This can injure the foreskin, which leads to scar tissue formation that makes the foreskin impossible to retract. However, most cases of primary phimosis have no known cause, and phimosis can in fact be considered a normal variant in uncircumcised men. Primary phimosis can be easily treated with 3-6 weeks of a corticosteroid cream and gradual gentle retraction.
Secondary phimosis occurs when a male who used to be able to pull back his foreskin no longer can. This can be caused by failing to wash under the foreskin once the foreskin can be pulled back. Debris accumumulates under the foreskin, which causes inflammation. This inflammation causes abnormal growth of skin cells that can grow between the foreskin and the head of the penis, causing the foreskin to become adhered to the head of the penis and unable to be pulled back. Secondary phimosis can also be seen in older males who are not sexually active and neglect basic hygiene. Secondary phimosis is very uncommon. Most men who develop secondary phimosis go months or years without even basic hygiene or even occasionally washing the the penis.

What is partial circumcision?
Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.

If it is doing what it is supposed to do. which is cause the foreskin to move back over the glans of the penis when it is flaccid. it is easily distinguishable when puling the foreskin right back as a separate chord like entity that reaches from the glans to the foreskin for about 15mm until it seems to blend back into the foreskin. so it is not actually tight at all it only becomes tight when the foreskin is pulled back. the tightens of the frenulum may well be associated with the tightness of the foreskin round the penis itself. loosen the foreskin and you loosen the frenulum.

When will your penis circumstance?
I think you are asking if you need to have a circumcision ! This all depends on how tight your foreskin is, it is not normal practise anymore to remove the foreskin unless it is needed medically. Usually it is done when you are still a child but it can be done for adults also. The foreskin should be able to move over the glans freely without causing pain. There are circumcisions on religious grounds. The Jewish faith still circumcise their baby boys. The foreskin need never be removed for any reason but to treat an existing medical condition that can not be dealt with in any other way. tight foreskins can be loosened in order for them to be able to move easily back and forth over the glans penis. The foreskin is an important part of the operation of the penis and is a or erogenous zone.
