    Uh

    So, gathering from this thread, it's normal for the foreskin to cover the head all the time for uncircumcised people? Because I'm not and the foreskin doesn't normally cover the head for me anymore. It used to, and I can still kind of stretch it over, but the extra skin just sits behind the head, because it doesn't really reach. Also, the head used to be pretty sensitive and a deeper purple, and now it's starting to be colored more similarly to the skin in the area.

    It's not really a problem, but I seem kind of out of the ordinary, here.

    I laughed so hard. :^:




    Man, this thread makes me so glad I'm circumsized. Seriously, ouchwhattheshit.


    That said, I thought I should point out that the stuff has another name, if it makes you feel either more disgusted, or less:

When I told my mom about my problem, she, the one who never talks to me about sex, told me not to get circumcised, not for my sake... but my future wife's sake. If your own MOTHER tells you that... That has weight man.

    Some women prefer it, some don't. It's really a tossup.

    Foreskin is all kinds of different lengths. Some guys have it entirely covering the glans, for others it doesn't. Your description is of entirely normal foreskin behaviour.

    I got snipped about eight months ago. It was something I'd known needed doing for a few years and was quite a relief when I finally did. It hurt quite for a few weeks afterward, but was healed completely about two months later. Anyone who can't roll it back effortlessly, I'd recomend you get it checked out straight away. It's not that bad and you'll need it looked at eventually.

    The palm works alot more fun nowadays as well.

    I can roll it back when I'm flaccid no problem, but when I'm erect it just will not budge.

    I asked my doctor and he said this is not a problem, as long as I can retract it when I'm flaccid, but I don't know if I believe him.

    "Some women prefer it, some don't. It's really a tossup."

    I think men should be able to agree that any woman who HAS a real preference for one or the other is probably not really the type of person you'd want to give a damn about; not to mention not YOUR exact ideal of perfection either.

    It just should not matter to them. And I'm guessing for 99% really doesnt.

    I wouldn't see the point, really. I'd suggest that would take a lot of pleasure away. But then I've never tried it without peeling back; come to think about it, I think it'd be a lot of extra effort to put one on without peeling it back.

    I think doctors are less worried about it these days.

    I can't retract mine full stop, but my doctor told me to not worry, don't try to manually pull it back & that it will loosen with sex.

    Yeah my doctor said it really shouldn't *tear* during sex unless the girl is abnormally tight (just the way i like it m i rite? :winky: ... :oops: ).

    I'm still really unsure about this, I feel like it should be able to retract at least partially when I'm erect (which is all the time m i rite? ...okay i'll stop)

    Do we think the same about a dude who has a decided preference for large- or small-breasted sex partners? For girls of a certain body-type?

    Maybe it shouldn't, but for a number of women, it does.

    I imagine the percentage of whom consider it a deal-breaker is exceedingly small, however. If you've gotten to the point where they're examining your penis, you're probably going to have a reasonable idea about whether or not they're going to ditch you based on the presence or absence of a flap of skin, and they probably like the rest of the package enough not to freak out about Tab A having a little more or less surface area than was expected. Beyond that, if you're seriously taking the speculated opinion of a hypothetical future sex partner in account when making a personal medical decision, you might want to think harder about the fact that it's your dick--relationships fail, lovers take off on you, but your penis is going to be (god willing) rooted in your pelvis for the rest of your life. You're far better off doing what you think is best and will make you happiest than trying to divine what women you've never met would prefer.
    Yeah my doctor said it really shouldn't *tear* during sex unless the girl is abnormally tight.
    See, I'd put emphasis on the "shouldn't," because dear god the stories from people who've had theirs rip during sex....I wouldn't wish that on somebody who'd just ran over my dog.

    A second opinion sounds like it would provide some peace of mind, and it might provide you with more options for loosening it. And really, it can't hurt to talk to another doctor about it, even though it's not an obviously large concern in the same way that not being able to clean under it would be.

    sort of ... i think a closer analogy would be like...areola size or something. something more or less inconsequential to anything and a really minor detail that should be a back of the mind sort of preference.

    but yeah, i dont think girls should give much credit to guys who would place that much importance on an equally irrelevant thing

    Man whatever, I think the only reason you're saying this is because you've been trained to think that you're a 'good person' for liking unattractive girls when in reality it's because you have low self-esteem about your penis.

    im saying its so insignificant to so many people i dont think it should be a big concern for the dudes on this board, whether upon the presence or not of a foreskin they will be found sexually appealing or not

    i think that is a good notion, no?

    No what you said was that women shouldn't have a preference either way. What I want to believe you meant was what I said about liking or not liking a dude's johnson.

    Except that areolas don't go inside a dude. This is a part of your anatomy that you're sticking inside her, here. Some women are going to like the extra sensation a foreskin can provide, some are going to be less than enthused about the way it feels or causes the glans to taste. Are you going to get all up on chicken for saying he prefers women tight and declare him unworthy of female credit?

    If you've got phimosis it's possible to stretch the foreskin 'up and over' and keep it in place with a condom to stop it moving around and hurting while fucking. You have to be a bit careful, but it works well enough.

    Thank God for early sexual experimentation :shock:

    I remember managing to finally get my foreskin to roll back when I was 8 or 9. I was kind of freaked out at the time, as I didn't know it was meant to happen, and I thought my penis was breaking, but for some reason I had to see what would happen when I got it as far back as it would go. Weird thing is it was kind of attached to the head, and I had to work at it for a couple of days to get it to unnattach itself.

    I'm not a doctor or anything, but I don't think you're supposed to be able to pull it back when you're that young. It's when you hit puberty, around 13 or 14, that your hormones cause growth in your penis that allows the foreskin to separate and be able to pull back. In many people, this growth isn't quite complete, so it needs a little "manual stimulation."

    But hey, as long as your junk works, who cares? Everyone's different.

    So that's why it was attached. I separated it manually then. God it was scary.

    I'm 18 and mine is still seperated, and doesn't rol back and is very tight, and reading all this i am very scared... What's with it being attatched? I think i'm going to bite the bullet and see a doctor soon, i am actually very worried about this.

    Not really. The thing with phimosis is the foreskin is too tight to go over the head, so it can't be rolled over, and causes the penis to bend downwards.

    maybe I'm using the wrong term then. Whatever you call it when it won't stretch width-ways enough and roll back properly. I have fairly direct experience with this ;)

    If it was removed because it was causing medical problems, then you should be glad you don't remember the procedure. Beyond that, it's really not a big deal. This thread is not representative of the male population; most foreskins cause absolutely no problems for their owners, provided said owners practice proper hygiene and wear condoms. Even when they do cause problems, your average problem-sufferer generally sees a doctor before it becomes a serious problem, and it doesn't require anything drastic to solve it.
