Paul, I don't think foreskin retraction has anything to do with whether you enjoy the feeling or not; rather it has everything to do with being able to expose the glans fully so you can clean it regularly and keep bacteria from growing on it. This can have long-term health benefits for you and certainly yoo it can be a health benefit to your partner. As the other correspondent suggests, you may be able to loosen things more by persistent and frequent efforts at stretching, and so make retraction less of a painful experience and maybe even more fun. Cheers, RJK.
