Well, it seems you have proven that stretching simply -
works! If your father was circumcised for this reason, that is really sad (how old was he at the time?) but actually, if he was circumcised for
any reason it is pretty sad, as there are very few genuine reasons indeed, to be circumcised and it does significantly mar sexual enjoyment.
If you think your brother has the same problem, how about asking him and explaining the matter of stretching? Have you done the stretching on our advice when you started those months back, or simply by retraction as suggested in
the article on the site from where the illustrations come? I'd be very pleased to hear it was us, but if the latter, you may not be using the most effective method, and should read well back in this forum for our preferred approach - please explain which method you have found most effective?
Certainly, I think you should keep on with the stretching until you achieve easy retraction and movement of the skin over the glans, and a month or so more to ensure it stays that way.
What is "normal"? Well,
all of the illustrations you cite appear to me to be relatively normal though as the commentary mentions for the first three, they all demonstrate an unusually prominent glans (almost equine in the last picture, which is contrary to the suggestion oft made by circumcision advocates that circumcision causes the glans to be more prominent!). The first two do
not show the penis substantially erect, so the constriction or "hourglass" effect from the tight part of the foreskin is not as meaningful as it might appear.
I actually think that even if you fully stretch the foreskin, there is no reason why the glans need be visible when flaccid (nor is it necessarily a problem if it
is); it is full coverage that is more "normal". What
is probably true, is that the earlier easy retraction (notably spontaneous retraction on erection) occurs, the less the foreskin is elongated by spontaneous erections (quite frequent, particularly at night) during childhood, and the less likely one is to have full coverage.
If you have - as you describe - a degree of phimosis such that you always have full coverage even on erection (and not that that in itself
defines phimosis) as you reach adulthood, then you have achieved maximum foreskin length and even if you subsequently loosen it, should expect complete flaccid coverage with which there is nothing "wrong".
If you stretch it fully, then you might expect that the foreskin will not retract simply because you get an erection, but if you can slide it back - and forward again - easily, you will certainly have the benefit during intercourse described in
that article.
Regarding the discomfort experienced when you pull your foreskin back as in the second picture, it is of course not necessary that your foreskin
does pull back all this way, but if the discomfort is in the frænulum underneath, then you might be advised to stretch the frænulum as we have often described.
