Hi BB,
What ee says sounds spot on to me too. It's a bit puzzling, though, when you say that flaccid you can only retract your foreskin "halfway down the shaft". This should be plenty good enough for optimal cleaning as it sounds as if your head and the groove underneath it can be exposed.
If you can completely expose your head when erect, then a good bit of hold-in your-fist style masturbation plus the stretching exercise recommended by ee should loosen things up - if any loosening is needed. Many guys have a frenulum that is well-defined and prominent, though in no way tight or short.
If you can see you'd be able to push all the way in to whatever you're pushing into without putting too much stress on your frenulum, then you're ready to go. How to tell? Erect, push your foreskin as far forward as it goes, then, grasping the tip, pull your fist as far back as you can without letting it slip over your skin. If you can get your fist pretty much all the way to the base of your cock without slippage, then your foreskin and frenulum are well-loose, and you should have no problems when it comes to the real thing.
Cheers
