I first became aware of my problem at age 11-12 when 3 other boys and I got into a peeing contest and they could all pee farther than I and I discovered that they could retract their foreskin. Up until that moment I had no idea that my penis would and should do what their's would. It then became a painful obsession to be able to do what they could and to see what was inside that bit of skin. Asking my parents was out of the question. I would pull and stretch and have to stop due to the pain. The foreskin would split and bleed and I would have to stop for awhile but I persisted until the great day came when it retracted over the glans and I saw that for the first time. I kept on until it was no longer a problem. I have never forgotten the experience and I wonder if others have had similiar experiences.
