A lot of doctors STILL do this to the newborn children when "THEY" the doctor thinks it should happen. What is this "IT"? IT is the forceful moving of the Male 4skin all the way back. Many dads, and almost NO MOMs unless they have educated themselves know that his is so WRONG and it is unbelievable that doctors/pediatricians even do it. But here's what happens.
There is a membrane that holds the entire 4skin to the glans of the newborn Male. As the years go by this membrane lets go a little at a time. It starts to really release when the Male begins to masturbate, and that tugging action pulls at the membrane and its release is accelerated so that usually around the late teens into their early 20s this membrane has fully released and the 4skin is full mobile. (sex can also act as the same stimulus)
FORCED RETRACTION is when the 4skin,..., usually performed in the first 2-5 years of the child's life, is forcibly pulled back. It tears the membrane and causes a WOUND, it is a bloody situation, you are literally ripping tissue that was not meant to be separated in this manner in any way. Then after the "retraction" the penis is cleaned up, wrapped and the long term damage begins, yah like the ripping was not enough. What usually happens is that that glan surface, the membrane and the 4skin touching the area of the glan all "HEAL" BACK and that membrane will never separate or if it does severe scaring can occur. This can be a small issue as in "skin bridges" to tight 4skins, to pretty severe scaring needing circumcism down the line later in life. Medically, SCARS do not make or lengthen skin surface- scars pull skin together in teh healing process and shrink skin surface thus tightening skin.
wikidoc.org/index.php/Forci..., I could offer up all these resources and info, but it seems that WIKIDOC has been busy compiling a lot so actually great resources and information here. Would be a good look if you have 4skin issues- might want to look in your childhood medical records if you still have them and it was annotated as having been done to you- this just might have happened to you. Not at all strange a number of "mainstream medical sites" I look at did not AT ALL mention this issue when this really wrong behavior is performed on any uncut child.
I saw this mentioned in a comment and not in any other so I thot I would. Can explain a lot for those whose doctor's behavior went really wrong leaving them with 4skin issues.
PEACE-S
