I have just not all that comfortable

Hi. Do you mean:

1) should you have it back to see what it feels like, or

2) does it matter if it’s back and you can’t pull it forward.

If it should be back all the time in general

in reply toInsecure

Well I don’t see a problem as long as it’s still possible to pull it forward. A friend of my son is considering circumcision for cosmetic reasons (he is 17) and is apparently keeping his foreskin back. I imagine that it might take away some of the sensitivity which might then help if one was circumcised, but I can’t say that for sure as I was circumcised as a baby and wouldn’t know.

May I ask why you are asking?

Retracting the foreskin a lot, is very useful for testing to see if someone would prefer being circumcised or not. It's also a great preparation for someone who is going to be circumcised. The glans will have become accustomed to being exposed to the air, and rubbing against clothing. This will help ease the man into the transition, and allow for the pleasures of being circumcised to take place sooner.

It absolutely does help, see my post on painless circumcision.

That's amazing, 17 years old but choose to remove the foreskin for a cosmetic reason. Good for him.

Yes I’ll be posting on it briefly in the next day or so. Good for him as you say.

Not always but time to time

Not most of the time washing, sex and peeing

Hi, no not all of the time only when you have to wash underneath, when you're peeing or when you have an erection. some guys do try to wear it back but it can be hard to keep there especially if your frenulum is short. do you have a problem with your foreskin maybe phimosis?

I had always wanted to be circumcised, and would retract my foreskin much of the time. It always felt great, and I kept doing it more and more, until the day my dreams were realized, and I finally was circumcised as an adult. Start slow, and see if you like it. You can always quit at any time. One caveat. Many men who start retracting their foreskins, will eventually go for a circumcision. They start to crave the feeling of having the glans exposed. It happened to me!

You're absolutely correct, I start retracted back foreskin when I was 14-15 until I get a circumcision last year when I 21 years old and revision this year at 22 years old bro.

And good on you too!

I’ve been doing it now for over 5 years, had my frenulum removed 6 months ago due to it being a little tight, now it stays back easier, glans still have heaps of sensitivity, was going to get circumcised but held off and I’m glad for now

No for me as it enhanced my pleasure bro. Try to follow up by retracting your foreskin back, let your glans rubbed, friction with your clothes, it will make your penis head becomes accustomed. This is how I get curious for a permanently exposed glans through circumcision. And yes, my decision paid off when I reached a very intense orgasm for the first time post-circumcision edging session.

Not what you're looking for?
