Foreskin does not fully retract yet?

Question

Hey. I recently asked a question about this, but I'm still unsure.
I'm 15 and I've really just became aware that the foreskin is supposed to be fully retractable.
I've been doing stretching exercises to loosen what was an un retractable foreskin, and it appears to be working. I can now get the foreskin all the way over the head of the penis during an erection, but not past that point (It will not slide down the actual penis yet), but it's getting looser and looser. From it's original unretract able state, to now, is a big improvement, right?

I'm incredibly scared about needing circumcision (I'm 15, this stuff really scares me.).
Should I be worried about this? I don't think I should, as the stretching appears to be working, but I'm really not sure...

Answer 1

It is not absolutely necessary to have a foreskin that will retract. A few men live their entire lives with a non-retractable foreskin. They can masturbate, have penetrative sex, get married, and father children with a foreskin that does not retract. Some believe that a penis with a tight foreskin is more sensitive and that sex is better. However, most men prefer to make their foreskin retractable. Non-retractable foreskin is NOT a reason to do a circumcision. That has been outmoded for decades.



First of all, NO one really needs a circumcision. Male circumcision is an ELECTIVE operation. Some people ELECT to be circumcised, but is voluntary, NO one ever died from lack of circumcision. No one is ever going to circumcise you unless you grant written consent.



It is normal for teenage boys to have foreskins that don't retract. You are on the right track with your stretching.



When your penis is erect, gently pull your foreskin back against the head of the penis. As the head attempts to pass through the foreskin it will stretch the skin a little. Do this every day and in a few weeks or months your foreskin will widen and you will be able to retract your foreskin. Do NOT force retraction.



It works by tissue expansion. Stretching skin induces “mitosis” which is a word that means “division of cells”. New skin cells are formed and the skin expands but it takes some time. The increase in size is permanent. Be patient and let mitosis do its work.



The important thing is to put the skin under tension every day so that it will grow wider.

Answer 2

The ability to retract the foreskin is something that gradually develops throughout puberty. It is typical for guys to only achieve full retractability of the foreskin whilst erect once they are in their late teens. You just haven't reached that stage yet. Some simple foreskin stretching exercises can help you though...



Whilst erect, simply tease the foreskin back as far as it will go without hurting and hold it there. Don't force it back; stop when it's visibly taut. Do this frequently and as time goes by you should find that it goes further and further back.



Just be patient. It may take months of doing this before you're fully there so be careful. You don't wanna go too far too soon cos your foreskin could tear or become inflamed and cause problems. I wouldn't recommend pulling your foreskin back while flaccid either — you really have no reason to be doing that and you could run into trouble. There is really nothing wrong with you at the moment; you don't wanna change that. Just take things easy and you'll get there.

To solve phimosis (tight foreskin):

Masturbating in the wrong way can cause phimosis.

Scientific study: http://www.cirp.org/library/treatment/phimosis/beauge/



The penis basically consists of 3 spongy balloon-like chambers that fill with blood on erection.

See Diagram: http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/265769o

This page shows functions and mobility: http://www.circumstitions.com/completeman/

The foreskin is attached to the glans by the frenulum: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenulum_of_prepuce_of_penis



Masturbating can be damaging to the penis if you apply too much pressure. It damages the spongy tissue chambers of the penis. Consequently the 3 spongy chambers do not fill out with blood and expand the skin. Consequently you end up with a tight foreskin. A sensitive glans (head) is a sign of damage. So what you need to do is allow repair to happen. Don't masturbate as much. And when you do masturbate, don't do it for a long time. Too much masturbation (especially with the wrong technique) can also cause micro-tears in the skin, which form scar tissue; scar tissue is less elastic than unscarred tissue.

So, make sure you are not using a damaging masturbation technique. Just lightly grip the penis and move the foreskin up and down.

Once the inside structure starts to repair, the 3 spongy chambers of the penis will inflate to their proper position and this should expand the outside skin and there will be extra 'give' when trying to pull the foreskin down. In time, it will then be easier to retract the foreskin over the head.



Tips to increase penis size and other masculine features:

You should do the following from the ages of 14 to 21.



1.Stay lean, thin and muscular with exercise such as running and weights. The easiest way to get in shape is to get up early and go for a 30 minute run each morning. Or in the evening. Make sure to have a cold shower after though to get rid of the excess heat otherwise you will be a bit flustered after. Cold showers also prevent night time ejaculation.

2.Eat and drink well. Cut out artificial sugary drinks.

3.Don't masturbate too much, and when you do, don't damage penis by applying too much pressure



Exercise increases testosterone, the male hormone. Weights are especially good for this.

Being thin means less cholesterol (the fatty stuff that clogs blood vessels), consequently testosterone is more effective.

Being thin also means there is more blood flow to the penis; so when you get spontaneous erections it stretches out the 3 spongy chambers of the penis. See diagram: http://en.academic.ru/dic.nsf/enwiki/265769o

Don't masturbate too much as this depletes energy and effects hormone levels.

The penis was not designed for the strong pressure of the hand. Over-masturbation is likely to damage the delicate spongy chambers of the penis, especially if you apply a lot of pressure with your hand. This leads to energy being diverted into repairing the penis rather than growth.

I would avoid spending time on the computer as this resists the temptation to look at porn and masturbate. Also the electro-magnetic radiation from the monitor is not good for you if your head/brain is too close to it. It can also hinder masculine development of the face leading to a baby face.

You should be getting spontaneous erections. Erections are good for expanding out the penis with blood. This happens a lot during sleep. The herb Ginkgo baloba has also been proven to increase blood flow and open up blood vessels. You can buy them in tablet form (just do a google search).



So be as thin and muscular as possible. And don't apply too much pressure in masturbating - and don't masturbate excessively.

Other masculine traits will result from this too: deep voice, angular jaw, pronounced forehead and big space between eyes.
