question about foreskin

[ivory]

how far should it be able to go back?

 

thank you

My ex was uncircumsized.

 

The foreskin naturally retracts when erect so that the head is exposed. There is a little piece of skin which holds the foreskin to the underside of the head, the skin rolls down about half way before that piece of skin would be pulled.

Some men will be able to pull the foreskin fully back over the head of the penis and others won't. So if you can only pull it part way back, this is normal and is only a problem if it causes pain or infection.

 

I hope that answers your question!

Well, sometimes it actually may cause pain when erected, but only the doctor is capable of telling whether someone really needs circumsizion for purely hygienic concerns. It never has to make any problem during sex, so if it does, it is better to contact a doctor. By the way, the foreskin shoul be able to roll back to reveal almost whole penis head.

i can pull it back over the head and back more than that like 3 cm back after the head if you know what i mean. is this right?

my bf isnt circumcised and when the skin retracts, it exposes the whole head, but he can actually pull it back further than that. dun worry, ur fine...

hmm i didnt even know about this... ive never seen someone who wasnt "uncircumsized" i thought everyone was. Is there a picture? im just curious to know what it looks like.

[Kbelles]

well, ur young so im sure most boys ur age ARE circumcised. my bf is 31 and a LOT of men his age and older are not circumcised. medicine and technology are different now than it was 30 and 40 yrs ago. back then, it wasnt considered the 'safest' procedure for your newborn baby boy. but nowadays, circumcision is as common as cutting the umbilical cord.

 

as far as how it looks, with circumcised penis, the sheath of skin does not stop at the glans (head) but instead continues all the way down to the very tip of the penis.

so kbelles if the foreskin goes all the way to the tip then you are circumsized??

I think that may have been a typo on Kbelles' part - when you are uncircumcised the skin covers the head of the penis. When you are circumsised it does not.

I thought only Jews had it done? Unless of course its for medical reasons. I'm sure where I live, mutalation is not that common.

that is what i thought, guess i was right

 

so if you are uncircumsized should it be easy to pull the foreskin over the head? like should you not feel anything or not?

[Kbelles]

yea, sorry, DEFINITELY a typo.... with UN-circumcised penises the foreskin goes all the way to the tip. sorry about any confusion....

Generally, most people who are uncircumsised will not have a problem pulling back the foreskin. However, it is not uncommon for a person to have a tight or not easily retractable foreskin.
