Foreskin doesn’t go back up the whole way.

Hi,

Firstly this is not paraphimosis. Basically when my penis gets erect my foreskin covers my head and I can pull the foreskin down, but when I go to push it back up, the tip sort of rolls under itself and it doesn’t go up very much. This means when I masturbate the action makes the foreskin slide down but it rolls up under itself. It makes it seem as if I’m almost circumcised. I see people who it slides down and slides right back up again to how it was before so how can I fix this issue. Thank you

Assuming nothing feels painful, tight or swells up and everything returns to it’s starting point once you’re flaccid I’d say it was normal for you and nothing to be concerned about. Otherwise, a bit of lube might help give you the expected action.

Agreed.

Hi, we're all built differently! Mine extended over an inch beyond the head even when hard, two extremes but we are both 'normal', like a 4 inch erection versus a 9 inch one.

mine was the same exact way except when i was hard it would only cover 1/4 of my head. The rest of my foreskin would stay on the shaft just below the head. As a result any sexual activity caused irritation/inflammation that would typically last 2-3 days even from a few min if masturbating. Nit always but would happen a lot. I'm 39. This started becoming more and more frequent over the last 1-2 years. I discovered/realized it was due to my foreskin being too tight. It didn't look or feel tight. But it was too tight to cover most of the head when erect. As a result the foreskin would be exposed to friction in a an unnatural way. So I got circumcised 6 days ago. Still very much in beginning of healing stages but I really hope I made the right choice! Also I really wish I found this website prior to my circumcission. Not too many resources for adult circumcissions
