David, I'd think you'd have a problem with hygiene because dirt tends to collect under an uncircumcised foreskin, causing unpleasant odors and uncomfortable infections. You must have a lot of natural resistance to infection, since you report no problem. The fact that the skin retracted once suggests that you could retract it if you wanted to, & it would seem to be a good idea to try this when you're bathing, with the objective of keeping the glans and the area under the foreskin free of smegma and dirt. (You might also enjoy having sex yourself more with a retracted foreskin, but then again you might not; lots of sex involves experimentation, and much of the fun depends upon upon doing what you and she prefer.) Best wishes, RJK.
>Came across this websiteby accident - but it set me thinking. Do I have a problem? I've never been able to retract my foreskin - I remember when v. young my mother trying to retract it on doctors advice, but she soon stopped because I didnt like it (I dont remember any pain, just discomfort or perhaps it was only embarassement). It's never caused me any problems, no pain or problems with erection or anything. I used to masturbate "like a rabbit" and I'm now married and have a reasonably active sex life. When we first started my wife was surprised that it didnt retract, but it didnt put either of us off, in fact she preferred it as my pointed end was easier going in than her previous partner's flat end. It did retract once when we didnt use a condom and she wasnt quite fully wet and that was painful at the time, but didnt cause any aftereffects.
