hi by your post I’m assuming you had tight foreskin? Your best option would be to speak to your doctor who should provide you with steroid cream to apply to your foreskin daily along with stretching it. If that fails then you’ll be looking at circumcision.

Firstly, how old are you? Your profile says 23, but then it also says you're female. If you're asking about your son, then it's perfectly normal not to be able to retract his foreskin, and you shouldn't even try - just leave it alone. I couldn't retract my foreskin till I was about ten, and it's not unusual for it to be a few years later than that.

If you're male, how far exactly can you pull your foreskin back, and how much of the glans can you see? (the "glans" is the acorn shaped part at the end of the penis). Can you ever see the ridge at the bottom of the glans? If there's only a small opening in the foreskin, how wide can you open it?

If you google "shutterstock 1353891179 phimosis", there's an image which shows four types of phimosis, which might give you something to compare it with.

Most cases of phimosis, especially in younger males, can be fixed with stretching or using a steroid cream. Surgery (preputioplasty, circumcision, or less commonly a dorsal slit) would usually be a last resort, and some men choose just to live with phimosis.

since you are female is this your husband or boyfriend you want to do this to? Is it for a sexual act or is it just your preference to see it exposed? I suggest If it doesn’t freely roll back without difficulty then join your partner in a visit to the doctor for a consult.

If it tight then gentle stretching, pulling the opening with finger tips whilst in bath or shower will help over time. If it for pleasure then lubrication is key.

Never force it back, if it that tight I would advise seeing Doc'
