A forum for people interested in keeping the foreskin pulled back — be it for fun, for health reasons or anything else: Let's share experience, methods, stories and all that about our pulled back foreskins.
NB. This is not a circumcision support group. While there's no problem with cut guys, this isn't your place to live out your foreskin removal fetish — plenty of forums for that elsewhere.
Other than that: please read the Readme in the readme forum, write an intro... have fun I guess?

QuoteIt's interesting you mentioned jock itch! How long have you had it, what have you used to treat it, and is it responding to treatment?
QuoteMay I ask, perchance, do you also have diabetes or problems with blood sugar? You don't have to answer this though, I'm just trying to form a personal picture of this very common problem we all have.
QuoteI have a small personal theory about the pain/itches after masturbation and orgasm. I think that when we get invaded and colonized by these bacteria or fungi, they weaken the skin layer where they settle in, so when we use lube and then jack off, the lube first dissolves the very thin and weak keratin layer over the colonised sites, and then the friction from our hands abrades them off, leaving very sore, and very raw spots. When we're healthy no such problems occur and I think it has to do with the health of our skin layers. The bacteria or fungi also prevents normal healing, and as long as they persist the condition may become a chronic problem.
QuoteA lot of yeasts and fungi have developed resistance to clotrimazole, so it's a normal thing to switch from one azole to another to see what works for the strain we have. This is a problem of diagnostics - the general population just does not have as much access to lab testing as we like. I think that even for doctors the diagnosis is about likely causes and a process of careful elimination.
QuoteBack to your glans: have you noticed any inflammation on your foreskin itself, inner and outer? Have you noticed any "dry" looking skin on your glans or any spot on your penis after pulling back and commencing treatment or at any point of time, or any "scaliness"?
QuoteI would also recommend taking photographs to note the changes, under similar lighting conditions, to serve as a visual record for the doctor as well as yourself - you do not have to post these here because few of us can help you even if we have that additional personal information. You definitely want to take a photo post orgasm/ejaculation because that would be extremely awkward to show a doctor in person, haha! And otherwise they can only guess how bad it looks like after lol
Quoteyou ask us to ignore the white patches at the tip of your penis, visible in the first photograph, dismissing it as dried up urine. I do not understand why any urine drips were not shaken or wiped off , given that you are retracting your foreskin.
Quote from: lvprcm on 2024-04-02 11:31:02Sorry to hear some of you had some difficult experiences on your first retraction.for me it was Painful to keep it open cuz of sensitivity and cuz of damaged skin due to forcefully pullback. My aunt told me to keep it exposed to heal it properly after some time it started feeling good so I started to keep it open
From my earliest memories, age 4 or 5, my foreskin was retractable. I could expose the glans with the only limitation being an adhesion that kept the inner foreskin attached to the coronal rim of the glans.
I ripped the adhesion one day during a bath when I was 8. Once that happened it opened up a world of possibilities.
Surprisingly I can't recall if I was told to retract when I pee or wash or just a lot of curiosity with playing around, it felt good when I retracted so perhaps that was all the motivation I needed to keep retracting.
