Sounds like you have it figured out. If it comes back when flaccid, you don't have frenulum breve. The end is just a little snug because you are still young and haven't been exercising it sexually yet. The length of your foreskin will have no effect upon your stretching exercises, and in fact should make it easier to grasp the end on each side to pull it apart. The springing back is a normal reaction. The little web (frenulum) is there to make the skin cover back up so the glans remains sensitive and ready for action.
>Since I have been attempting the stretching exercises to cure my phimosis I have become aware of the condition 'frenulum breve'. I was wondering whether the ability to retract the foreskin when flaccid meant that I didn't suffer from this condition (since I cannot retract when erect, yet, I do not know whether I suffer from 'frenulum breve'.)
>Also I was wondering whether a long tubular foreskin hinders stretching and its desired result. Following on from this my foreskin seems to want to 'spring back' (sometimes) when flaccid but this appears to be because of the amount of skin that has been pulled back behind it. Any ideas?
