Foreskin Pullback

[horsedick.mpeg Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close horsedick.mpeg]

I just found out that it is essential that you pull back your skin during sex. So I need to start getting in the habit of pulling it down. I started today and I am pretty scared lol. I'm afraid it might rip and when I pull it back it burns a bit and hurts. It is now red. Does anyone have any advice or steps I should take in 'permanently' pulling down my foreskin? By the way, it is hella sensitive.
Thanks

Well if your uncut ( im assuming you are) you cant really pull back your skin perminatly. if it hurts when you pull it back its probably because you skin isnt used to being stretched that way, just doo it for a while and your skin should get used to it and it wont be so sensitive. Im not an expert on this kind of stuff but thats my oppinion on your question maby someone els Knows more and can help you better.

Yes , you said it yourself. You need to get into the habit of pulling your foreskin back. Try and do it a few times a day.

A good time to do it is when taking a warm shower. It will be easier to retract and also for hygienic reason, take the opportunity and clean underneath. When retracting it at other times, a little warm up and lubricant will help make it more comfortable. Overtime, like in a few weeks it would not be an issue.

Rolling the foreskin back is far from essential. It is said that up to 4% of men have foreskins that do not retract and only half will choose to do anything about it.

If you choose to stretch, take it very gently. If you cause tears and cracks you will scar and be even tighter. Using betamethasone ointment (0.5% - 1% concentration, by prescription) helps the process a lot. The process of going from tight to comfortably retractable can take 6 months.

Its going to feel really tight for a while. Every time you take a shower, stretch the foreskin by putting your finger in between the glans and the foreskin (with wet fingers, obv). Drag you finger around the circumfrence of your head, and gradually pull away from the glans to stretch the skin further .

After this, pull back the skin as much as you can, do this every time you shower doing a little bit more than the day before. It doesnt have to be a crazy amount of progress , but at the end of the a week or two you should be able to at least get it over the head. After you get over this hump your going to want to pull it back as much as you can till the skin cant any more and try to keep it down as much as possible to get used to it. Eventually you will be able to retract and pull up the foreskin with little to no uncomfortable stretching. You dont really run the risk of permenantly tearing or cutting the foreskin your body is designed to be able to pull back the hood, you just havent done it yet. Dont psyche yourself out

From what I remember the first couple of weeks hurt when you are working your way up. When I first started I was reluctant for 4 or 5 days, but eventually I decided the best bet was to say screw it and pull back past the head despite knowing how much it would hurt (done in the shower). It was painful, and I cant say I'd reccomend it to you considering its not my penis, but I can tell you for a fact that the initial pain goes away surprisingly quick, within the week I was able to easily retract and detract in the shower, and from then on without lubricant.

In short , the ability to retract the skin is WAY more hygenic and yes, you are DEFINITLY missing out on sex without being able to pull it down. Sex with the hood up the entire time would be reeeeeealllly lame, your glans has a lot of sensitivity in it (painful too, since the motion pulls it back a little). So its totally worth working through the pain. Shower and if possible USE LUBE inside the foreskin. It will ease the process. Make it through this and masturbation and sex will be a different experience.

PS- Be careful with your frenulum, if you think getting it over the head might seem painful, pull the skin all the way down too fast and you run the risk of ripping the frenulum (NOT PERMENANTLY). Its happened to me before, and it s not a fun experience
Good Luck

So it's actually more normal to have it pulled back then not pulled back? And what do you mean not permanently ripped?

[KickstandJohnson Member Find all posts View Profile Close KickstandJohnson]

Sorry after I read that I realised its kind of a poor post.

All I'm saying is that it makes sense that your body would want to expose the most sensitive part of your sexual organ during arousal,
i'm not here to say whats normal and whats not normal, but I do think I would be wierd living my life up to now without pulling it back ( I got enough strange looks trying to explain to girls what uncut means) I can tell you for a fact any sexual activity feels 20 times better if you can pull back your foreskin.

And if you look at TLCTuggers post, 4% of all men with foreskins dont pull their foreskin back because they choose not to, while the other 96% have chosen to move the foreskin back.
The only reason I can think of to not pull back the foreskin is because it hurts like a bitch the first couple of times. IMO go for it dude, the pain does subside, and its not half as bad as you think it is. Im not gonna tell you it doesnt hurt, but from personal experience I can tell you that:

A) My dickskin did not bleed or tear
B) It remained completely intact, the only uncomfortable feeling was it sitting at a different size around my shaft
C) It felt a million times better after i was used to moving the skin back and forth.
It really is a pain in the ass to have to worry about whether the skin goes back too far or not. Just go for it dude you'll be much better off.

As for the frenulum, I worded that poorly. IF you go to the mirror and pull out the bottom of your lip, you'll notice that there is a little tight skin tag that goes from the middle of your gums to the inside of your lip. Thats the mouth frenulum (not sure about the official medical name, but just work with me). That is sensitive to pulling, but were talking EXTREME yanking here. Same goes for your frenulum on your dick, its sensitive to pulling as well (i dont think you can permenently rip the frenulum, especially when you are gently working the foreskin for the first time) When I got a cut in my frenulum, it was totally unrelated to the first time i pulled back the skin, it was at least 2 years later and i was being an idiot jerking off too hard with really dry hands. A bled a tiny bit, but I freaked out because my f**king dick was bleeding. When it comes to the cock you dont wanna pull any punches.
Sorry if this caused confusion or concern. The whole incident was, if anything, more scary than it was damaging to my dick (healed like a regular cut). If you wanna get a feel for how it would feel to tug on the frenulum with the skin down, pull down on your bottom lip with your finger inside your lip. Same deal really. (Im hoping you have a mouth frenulum because I cant think of a better example)

Are you asking if it is more normal to have it up (over the glans) or down (pulled back)? As in just walking around or sitting on the couch with your dick swingin? If so, I'd say 95% of the time my foreskin is up unless I pull it back manually or get an erection. And even then good portion of the glans is covered.

But yes, the foreskin will stay around the glans unless you or someone else moves it.

Horsedick i was wondering if you have been seeing any progress pulling the skin back?

[horsedick.mpeg Senior Member Find all posts View Profile Close horsedick.mpeg]

Yes I have actually, quite a bit as a matter of fact. Thanks for asking and thanks for your help everybody I can almost jerk off fully. A couple more days and I should be 100%. This has really given me confidence and I feel great.
