Well, first of all, soap and soaplike substances on the glans might not be the best idea. You don't put soap on your other mucous surfaces, do you? Eyelids, mouth, etc.
So please, forget that. Water is enough. Soap can and will kill the natural flora and fauna on the glans and under the foreskin, and with no protection like tough skin on the rest of your body (or with a muchly keratinised glans, like those with much "experience" in exposing it or circumcised), it has a good chance to get infected.Next, exposing... well yes, I know what you mean, it used to be like that for me. It'll be less sensitive as time passes. I haven't had retractibility problems since I was like 5... and it sure as hell used to be sensitive... some years later, having played with it much enough, it became less sensitive, and now I would say it's less sensitive than I would like it. Oh well.
Recovering it once dry. Find something to make it wet, or more like, slippery, I guess. Water isn't a good lubricant, though, and I still advise against soap.
Having sex. With a little imagination I think I can say that inside a girl's vagina it should be slippery enough (mmmm natural lubricants -- checked your own precum's lubrication yet?) that the sensitivity would not be a problem. The glans is very sensitive to rubbing -- but if there is no friction, ie. rubbing, of course it won't matter all that much that it's sensitive to it, right? A little physics, man!
