It may however be less than perfect for intercourse where you want it to be able to hold itself either back or forward, so I think you should make a point of stretching it. This is perfectly straightforward as Jim mentions; you simply pull it back where you want it to go as often (at least twice daily) as possible and as far as possible just to the point of slight discomfort, holding it for as long as you have time, but preferably a couple of minutes at least each time.
> As Jim also mentions, even better would be to find some suitable device such as a container cap, that could be worn inside the opening of the foreskin to hold it on the stretch all day. It would have to have blunt edges of course, and be large enough to provide a snug fit which as the foreskin stretches, would mean you need to use successively larger devices (dilators). This would be equally effective on the fraenulum as when in place, it would be pressing on it in particular.
> As he also points out, some people have claimed that stretching does not work but goes back to the former state when you stop. This quite simply means that it was not performed properly - the stretching, once the desired dilatation is achieved, must be continued for a couple of months at least to cause the skin to re-model itself to the new size. That skin stretching is truly permanent however is proven by all the ladies you have seen with sagging breasts, so it's not something you can deny!
Looking at the photos i'd say the 2nd one- from then on it becomes difficult to retract any further. I'll have to try these stretching exercises for a while and see how this develops, and from what u said i have confidence this is what i need.
cheers for your help!!
