I notice no-one has posted on these boards for a while but i'll give it a go anyway. I am able to pull my foreskin back when not erect, just past the base of the head. But am not able to do it when erect.

So, i have 2 questions, will pulling it back to clean when not erect losen it enough to eventually be able to do it when erect? Or do i still have the do the measure mentioned here.

And second, should it go further than just past the tip of the head, or is this about right?

Cheers for any help you can give.

You'd think that eventually the foreskin would figure this out, and in most cases, it does. It appears that once the problem exists into the early adult years, it needs extra help in resolution. I can't offer an explanation of why it appears to be true. I think you're going to have to do the exercises. Ideally, your foreskin should retract behind the head during erections as well in the flaccid state. You'll probaly need to work on lengthening the frenulum simultaneously.

Thanks for the quick reply. Maybe i'm being too soft when i do it?, as when erect i get a bit worried when retracting that i don't when flaccid, not sure why. Also, judging by your reply, behind the head is as far as it should go? and not any further?

Your penis does not offer sufficient resistance to the tight spot, so that's why stretching with the fingers is so important. Over a great deal of time, using an erection to stretch the skin would probably work. You'll get faster results if you just do the exercises.

In some men, the foreskin retracts well back of the groove and almost disappears. There are many variations, all normal.
