Boyfriend's foreskin doesn't retract to show the head?

Question

My boyfriend's uncircumcised and I've never had a penis like his before. We haven't had sex yet. His foreskin goes a little over the head, and when he masturbates, it moves just a bit down the head, half for the most, and back over his head. It doesn't go all the way down to show the whole head. I don't know how much I can pull it back without it being uncomfortable for him. I've seen pictures where he pulled the foreskin down so the whole head was out, so it means he can actually retract it below the head, right? But he doesn't do that while masturbating and I've only seen him pull it back that far two times in a whole year.

Could simply be pragmatism (it's not really necessary for masturbating, most of the time), could be phimosis (a condition that's a less lot scary than its reputation suggests). When you've seen him retract it, has he been erect? If so, fully?

If it is phimosis he might not know it (limits of sex education, and all that); many guys who have it don't, as they don't know any better. And I can DEFINITELY understand not wanting to say to someone "your genitals are weird". Your best bet is probably just to go ahead gently and take your cues from how he responds.

Most men that are complete like to pull back _behind_ the glans to wash behind it. Some men can only pull back completely when they’re flaccid. Ask him is the only way, you might hurt him if you pull back completely while erect and he never does that. It’s completely feasible to masturbate w/o pulling back completely, that says nothing.

He probably doesn't have a need to pull it back while masturbating.

It feels a lot better to masturbate with the skin in between your hand and the head cause it's sensitive and if you just rub it with your hand it's uncomfortable. So that's why he doesn't pull it down all the way.

Dude just needs to work it out more. I had that problem when i was like 4-5 years old. It was painful if I pulled it back. I guess my many years of playing with it never let that issue persist. I would suggest taking small steps to get it to pull back. Stretching and working out aren't just for muscles.

If you're having intercourse don't worry about it. If you want to blow him, pull the skin down and hold it tight at the base of the shaft to keep the head exposed. This is probably best for a hand job as well. If you're concerned about hurting him just ask if it's okay.

I've an uncircumcised penis. I hope he maintains good hygiene. Anyway It's common and kinda easier to masturbate without retracting the foreskin completely. Even I don't retract it while masturbating, but for sex I do because it becomes easier that way to put on rubber.

As a circumsized straight male, this has been very insightful because I’ve had no idea what a guy and girls perspective is relate to sex with not being circumsized.

That normal for a lot of uncircumcised men

MountAverage · Answer

That's completely normal for an intact penis. But how much you can or should pull his foreskin back, obviously is something you need to ask him, not us.

I believe what is happening is that the foreskin is only tight when he is erect. What I would recommend are stretching exercises (like when he is masturbating). It will take time for his foreskin to be loose enough to retract all the way down upon erection.

It probably feels better to not retract it all the way. I can't say for sure as i have been circumcised since birth, but I hear sex is much more pleasurable with a foreskin so that might be just how he gets off. The other possibility is that it is simply painful or uncomfortable for him to retract it all the way. I have heard that some people naturally havena tight foreskin and it is painful to retract completely. Either way you have been dating for a year you say? I think you could just ask him

I think you should leave it as is. Or talk to him about it if it bothers you.

How is your boyfriend foreskin? İs very tight? Can you send me message ı want speak with you ı have the same problem

Anonymous · Answer

I'm uncircumcised and I can only pull my foreskin back the whole way down when my dick's flaccid. When I have a full erection I can only pull it back halfway at best

Yes it can retract past the whole head but he doesn’t because he uses the foreskin as a glider over the ridge because it is easier and less sensitive than raw.
