>Hey,
>I found out that I had phimosis a while ago and I have been doing the recommended stretches. At first the phimotic ring was so tight only about a dime-sized hole was open. Now I can almost fully retract while erect. There's still a phimotic ring, but I can see it relaxing as the days go by. I can't retract down to the base of my penis, but I'm getting there.

I don't think the ability to retract down to or near the base is all that common even by those with problemless penises.

>Basically what I'm interested in now is how to keep the foreskin skinned back permanently. Also known as autocircumcision.

No. The two things are not the same. Autocircumcision = self-circumcision = you buy a device and D.I.Y. Permanently retracted foreskin is that: a foreskin kept permanently retracted.

The latter can be aided with “folding” the foreskin so that it gets caught behind the corona.

As for why you’d want to do it, I wonder and don’t quite understand.

>I think this will also help aid the stretching process in that it'll keep the foreskin from getting tight again once I can retract completely.

Completely is a good word here, but it's not the same as “permanently”. Using the foreskin might be a better idea instead of just keeping it behind he head.

>I'm also in favour of the aesthetic appeal, hygiene, etc.

Hygiene is not really a matter of keeping things retracted or not. It’s a matter of your own cleanliness. Do you plan to keep your tongue exposed so that it stays clean too?

>The small amount of information on the subject that I've found has been very vague. For example: "Pull the foreskin back as far as it will go then roll it inward on itself."

Hard to describe it better.

>My foreskin is quite long, I think. About 3/4 of a cm hangs off when it's completely covering the head of my penis.

Not “quite long”, but normal.

>My frenulum isn't short or anything, as I can almost completely retract my foreskin while erect without any pain or anything. In other words, I'm sure my foreskin is capable of doing this, I'm just not sure how to go about it.

I’m not quite sure, though, what you mean by “completely”.
