>When fully erect my forskin does not retract. I can retract when flacid and was thought as a young child to retract the forskin when washing/showering.
What tends to happen if you go on to an erection after you have retracted while flaccid? As AJ hinted at a short frenumum could prevent the retraction to exist when erect. This is approached either with attempted stretching or by cutting or removing the frenulum. Most of us that have a frenulum are aware of a lot of sensation there, but it is probably not from the actual frenulum or dependent on it not being removed.
>My Questions:
>1) Seeing as it does not hurt, should I even attempt the stretching exercises.
I believe it was the focus of the founder of this site that it is far better to have a fully functional moveable forskin if intact. It allows better contact to the corona and to the sensitive underside of the penis. With more exposure of the glans you will get some flaring of the glans perhaps and perhaps will get more response from the areas close to the glans than you might be getting with the restricted or unexposed skin movement.>2) Seeing all the porn out there with 99% of men being circumcised and the ones who aren't can retract the foreskin for the money shot. Do women care if men are circumcised? I guess the major complaint is the foreskin rolling forward/back during intercourse. Since that doesn't happen to me, I'm wondering if I should do the stretching.
>Thoughts ?
Ralesk makes a good point in regard to the gals especially in any high percentage circ environment or with their sightings (brothers, cousins , other boy friends, porn) being of the exposed glans- therefore at the least it would be desirable to have retraction available when erect. Perhaps you can, with stretching achieve this.There is also an alternative covere (or uncovered!) in Yahoo Groups foreskin retraction concerning the practice of training the foreskin to remain in the retracted position permanently. This presents approximately the same appearance to the circumcised. In my case, many years ago this presented to my wife to be the "look" she had been seen and many tend to expect. There are also advantages to the foreskin being kept off the glans making it much easier to keep clean.
If you were to attempt this, if you do indeed have a tight foreskin you will possibly have it remain better behind the glans right from the start but you will also have to watch ou that swelling does not occur the first times as this can cut off blood circulation. It would be necessary to massage the glans down and bring the foreskin foreward over it. It is beneficial to retry the retraction and attempt to work your way through the swelling tendedncy and be rid of it. There have been cases were catherization was done without bringing foreskin forward afterwards and having the paraphimosis occur then. Better to develop more convertability.
I wish you luck in getting things working to your satisfaction. Everybod's different!
