Q: Foreskin Retraction
asked by: anonymous_64 on November 28th, 2004

I know that it is normal that some foreskins don't retract automatically during an erection.

I was wondering, do the foreskin of most men retract automatically during and erection, or do they have to retract it themselves ?

Thanks.

I believe you need to pull back the rest yourself. Not positive though.

Is there any way to keep it retracted? Like so the foreskin will toughen up, stay retracted, and keep the glans exposed somehow?

I think most do.I have only been with 2 men that were not circumcised.I do not recall the foreskin having to be manually retracted.The foreskin was tight after erection and the glans was exposed by the erection.Maybe you would consider a circumcision???Sorry I could not be of much help.Patty

Same Problem
Your foreskin doesnt automatically retract for most men
it depends on the length of your foreskin, if you have a foreskin that is normal to large then when u get an erection it will most likely stay forward
if u have ashort foreskin it may come back

ive been keeping my foreskin back, on and off for 6months now, if u do thsi a lot the ridge ofyour penis will become larger and help keep the foreskin back, it will also stretch ur frenum which is responsible for pulling ur foreskin forward
hope this helps

Yeah ok.. And now do you notice a descrease in sensitivity of the glans from keeping the foreskin retracted? Or is it just as sensitive as it was six months ago?

Circumcised Men
Report that they lose a little sensitivity over time as they dont have a foreskin at all. The same thing to lesser extent would happen if you
kept it retracted, although it would effect less area too. Sad

So if the foreskin is kept retracted until the glans has hardened... Let's say a month, would there be a way to restore the glans to its natural moistness?
If yes - how?
