It may just be me, but I don't understand your question.

Don't worry. It must be me; two others understood your question!

There is no set amount of retraction. It will vary from guy to guy. Do you have a problem?

The penis doesn’t retract during intercourse. In fact the opposite has to happen before penetration!

Hi. The foreskin of the penis would typically be able to retract, painlessly, behind the corona of the glans. The degree of retraction past this point varies substantially between men.

In a small percentage of men, the foreskin does not retract fully either because they have a long foreskin or because the foreskin or the frenulum is tight.

Not being able to retract fully is not a problem in itself provided that you can maintain personal hygiene and sexual intercourse is pleasurable.

Do you have an issue with retracting the foreskin?

The guys talking about his foreskin retracting when erect.

Some men have long foreskins when flaccid, and which still cover the glans of their penis when erect. Others like when I had a foreskin, the foreskin covered the glans when flaccid but fully retracted exposing the glans when erect. My foreskin of my erect penis did nothing either when thrusting in or out as the foreskin was fully part of the shaft of the erect penis. Now with the guys with a long foreskin that covers their glans when erect, their foreskins peel back on penetration, and recover the glans when they move their penis outwards. I think that there are more men whose foreskins were like mine than there are the guys with long foreskins. Super long foreskins can be problematic in penetrative sex. And makes oral sex rather difficult to do (by their partner).
