What Causes The Inability To Retract The Foreskin?

I am 40 years old, in very good health with no real medical problems. All my life, I have never been able to pull my foreskin back to expose the glans. I have always been self concious of it - knowing that it is not normal. I have had an ok sex life so far- but have not known any different so I wonder if this problem is detracting from pleasure during sexual intercourse. Also my current partner, although understanding - finds it a little odd. I would like to get something done so I can be "normal" but not sure what my options are. Have always been too ashamed to show my doctor - please help!!

Choices are circumcision or frenuloplasty. This would enable to open and expose head of the penis.
