Only half retracts when erect.

Hi, My foreskin can retract all the way when I'm flaccid but when I am erect it only retracts half way and is a little bit uncomfortable. I am a virgin but will possibly be having sex in the near future and I am worried if it will effect mine or her experience.

If you are uncircumcised, you are not supposed to be able to retract your skin while erect.

I’m sorry but that’s not completely correct.

Yup, it's vary from person. Some can retract it all the way, some will have to do it manually, some can only do it halfway.

I disagree. As an intact man sex feels much better with a retractable foreskin. While mine can move freely up and back there as some men who have a shorter foreskin have theirs stay retracted.

Not all foreskins will fully auto-retract on erection, but you should be able to manually fully retract your foreskin without pain nor discomfort whether flaccid or erect.

The glans rim is the sexually most sensitive part of the entire penis and should be fully exposed throughout intercourse to allow full contact with the vagina to give maximum stimulation and thus pleasure to both partners.

Furthermore, to properly put on a condom you need to be erect and with the foreskin fully retracted.

If you cannot fully, freely and painlessly retract your foreskin whether flaccid or erect then you may be suffering from phimosis and should see your regular doctor for the best cure.

Give it time. Some guys take a bit longer. If you are retracting when you wash each day and when you urinate it will loosen up more. Some guys are a bit tighter than others. Just don't force it as that can cause issues. Just gentle stretching
