Ageing and foreskin

Is it a fairly common thing for any man's foreskin to tighten up a bit with age regardless of any other infections or conditions ?

I don’t think it’s a common issue

How easily or comfortably has yours always retracted right back over the head when erect ? And how far back would it go ?

True, skin of every place tighten up with age including foreskin. Also erection starts going down in late 40s

I think you will find skin loosens with age as you lose collagen. Think droopy eyelids and facial wrinkles. Or even saggy balls.

You are right it doesn't remain as soft as it used to be but tightening sort of things are also due to loss of moisture. In case its visibily tight and look different and cause some problem during sexual activity or urination it cd b a problem

So are you feeling that phimotic ring would also loosen ?

Saggy balls a result of ageing? Ha ha! My saggy nuts happened every summer as a teenager.

It's more likely that something is causing it to tighten I would get checked out just to be sure. If the doc says nothing wrong try some coconut oil to moisten your foreskin

I've tried some of that mate ! What could cause the phimotic ring to tighten ?

Does yours retract way way back and forward again very easily when fully erect ? The phimotic ring doesn't jam or feel tight going back n forth like it's in the way ?

if yours don’t retract back n forth maybe you should get checked by your Doctor

Overtime your skin loses its elasticity usually around the age 60-70-80 also the penis skin tightness can be caused by lack of usage here's an interesting fact the reason men get erections in the night it's not because they're having sexual dreams it's the keep the penis in good condition as a man gets older is interest in sex becomes less and less not every man of course men go through the menopause as well hormones diminish etc etc the less usage the less elasticity if you want to keep your penis in good condition keep using it sex if possible if not masturbation

I find if I don’t masterbate for a while I get less interested so I try to masterbate on a regular basis, not that I get wet dreams but my general interest in sex is just as strong as ever!

You mean if you stop wanking you lose all sexual desire ?

for me it started to happen in my 30’s, it got progressively worse, tried stretching, steroid creams, nothing worked, so at 40 I got circumcised. Sex is very different, a lot of sensation went away, 3 years later I’m still learning how to use my penis. So I’d recommend you only get the surgery if absolutely necessary.

no but it’s like if you don’t use it you lose it fear. The more I wank the more I want to. Even in the oddest locations and times.
