Why would you engage in male genital mutilation to please any girl? Has she already had her clitoris and labia removed and you want to be like her?

When I was 11, at the start of the summer holiday my father asked me to show him my penis, and asked if the foreskin would pull back. As we had been taught to do this in the bath to wash, it did. He told me that now I had to leave it pulled back all the while, as this was the family tradition. He said it was cleaner and more hygenic. His father had taught him to do it, and his father before him. I had occasionally seen his penis in changing rooms and so on, and knew it had a rounded end, and not a flap of skin like mine, but did not really know why. So as it was quite hot, I hung around the house naked for a couple of weeks with my foreskin pulled back. Whenever it slipped forward, I pulled it back again. By then it had started to desensitize a good deal, and I was bale to wear clothes without it being uncomfortable. By the time I went to senior school at the end of the holidays, it was as if it had always been like that.

After a couple of years, I hit puberty, and of course started growing "down there". This was why retraction had started when it did. As my foreskin was used to staying back at all times, my glans was able to expand without restriction (even more so as of course I had the usual teenage problem with hard-ons!), and eventually it ended up looking like my father's, with a large pink helmet. By the time I was 16, there was no way the skin would come forward at all. Most people now assume I am circumcised, and I have to explain I am not! Around this time, my younger brother was made to start.

I am now 46, so have had a bare glans for some 35 years. My own sons, now 17, 19, and 22, also have retracted foreskins.

Perhaps you were circumcised as a baby and you actually don't have a foreskin.

Yes, you will permanently damage your glans if you keep your foreskin retracted.

If the glans loses the protection of the glans, it will protect itself by forming a callous (called keratinizing). This will cause a partial loss of sensation.

You have got it backward on penis size. The foreskin is part of the penis. It is about 15 square inches of tissue. When the foreskin is taken away, the penis is smaller.

The shaft is narrower, so it makes the head look larger, but that is simply an optical illusion. The head is not larger.

When a tight foreskin is retracted, it may interfere with circulation in the penis. If it does, it will cause edema, which results in swelling. You will need to stretch your foreskin to widen it so that it does not restrict blood flow when it is retracted.

Masturbation is best done without retracting the foreskin if one has a full-length foreskin as you do.

A full-length foreskin does not spontaneously retract on erection but may be retracted with one’s hand provided that the skin is loose enough to pass back over the head.

The part of a full-length foreskin that extends beyond the head is called the “overhang” or the acroposthion. The tip of the foreskin or acroposthion is highly innervated and has the most sensation.


A long tapering acroposthion was regarded by the ancient Greeks as the epitome of male beauty.



When a full-length foreskin is retracted, folds of skin form around the base of the penis. When the foreskin is released the folds may unfold and push the foreskin forward into its normal position to recover the head. Some guys with long foreskins cannot keep them retracted except by holding it back. This is not usually considered to be a problem.

The full-length foreskin provides superior protection to the head of the penis. Its extra-long length helps to keep the head moist, soft, and sensitive. The full-length foreskin probably has more pleasure nerves and sensation. A longer foreskin has superior gliding action that helps in masturbation and intercourse. A longer foreskin probably has more pleasure nerves than a shorter foreskin.

All in all, a full-length foreskin is an extra blessing.

You may flush out your full-length foreskin with a rubber-bulb type ear syringe if it does not retract.

If you wish everyone in the UK to be circumcised, then you will have to convince the NHS, which does not believe in circumcision except to treat a medical issue.

Did you not know that you may flush out a non-retractile foreskin with a rubber-bulb ear syringe?

That's the way it should be teach them young, its' like been told to brush your teeth. clean your ears, wipe your bum, etc, I've had my foreskin retracted for over 50 years, had problems before hand but very few since, recommend it to every boy or man, once the initial sensitivity, and actual fear is overcome, it can be seriously beneficial

That's the greatest load of bollocks, yes you will lose some sensation, but from my experience and knowing, now just turn 60 and have been keeping my foreskin retracted for over 50 years, it is a beautiful and wonderful experience to have the glans out in the open, even thought there's nothing sexual about it, to me it;s like I can see with my eyes, hear with my ears, think with my brain, walk with my legs, use my arms, and I am also aware of my penis in my pants, because of having the glans exposed, and am quite protective of him

That is your option. Apparently you are willing to accept some loss in sensation in order to have full exposure at all times.

In reply to your other post about you will permanently damage the glands by having the foreskin retracted all the time, exactly how will you damage them? I have kept mine back now for over 30 years now and no damage has occured, I can still feel the lightest touch during oral sex and during intercourse so not really sure what your on about.
Keeping your foreskin retracted all the time is only the same as circumsised except you still have the option to cover the glands again if you want.
In reply to post about penis size being smaller when circumsised your actually wrong on that as research has shown that when circumsised has taken place the glands do actually swell more simply because the foreskin doesn't restrict them, when the foreskin is removed the penis is still the exact same size simply because when you measure the penis you measure from the glands to the base and not from the foreskin to the base!

My foreskin has been retracted since I was ten im now sixty. The only problem I have is it got too loose to stay back. Now I use a ring to hold it back. No problems otherwise. The sensitivity is gone and I enjoy sex more. Also cut my frenulum witch was a major improvement in in feeling . Also helps to keep the foreskin back.

Use a glass ring to keep it back. Takes a long time to stay on it's own.

Why did you start to keep it retracted?

Some ten years ago my foreskin kept retracting behind my glans all by it's self, for a couple of months I was constantly going to the bathroom during the day to pull it back over but usually; within sometimes minutes it was back behind. Eventually I decided I'd leave it be expecting that it would eventually return to "normal" it never has. I now have a permanently retracted foreskin which has at no time caused me any problems, no discomfort, no loss of sensitivity it's now just normal for it to be that way. Could it be that I'm just the lucky one?
