Title: Change in glans shape since retracting
Post by: scotsguy27 on 2018-07-10 10:48:32
Afternoon,

Just a general question. Has anyone noticed a change in shape to their glans since retracting?

I’ve noticed that my head is slightly more “bell” shaped when erect since I’ve been pulling back & I have more of a ridge when flaccid. Any explanations on why would be appreciated :)

I've also noticed my glans is more bell shaped than before altough I have no idea why is it like that. Maybe beacuse of the foreskin not restricting glans it can reach it's full "potential"?

I do believe that John Doe hit the nail on the head when he says that there now is less restriction. I went pulled back for 20 years and had the referred to flaring. I went covered for 27 years and and any time that I was briefly uncovered, it would still flare out. Although while covered it would reduce in size during that period, not showing that it could still flare. In other words, once developed, permanently flared.

That interesting, i will keep an eye out to see if mine is the same, i think it may be

Yes mine went the same way, it got a bit thicker and more flared out to, i am happy with that.

I'm sure you're right. After tying my frenulum the difference between before and after became very obvious. My frenulum wasn't too short but the tip would be pulled down by it. Afterwards the tip of my head wasn't pulled down anymore, making the head appear longer in comparison when looked at from above.

Yes, glans increases when foreskin has been back.

Without any doubt my glans is more bell shaped, very noticeable especially if I pull my foreskin over my my head

Certainly men circumcised as boys generally have a large glans, as there is nothing to restrict its growth at puberty. Even when flaccid, the glans tends to stay the same size as when it's erect.

Yes, the glans seems to be much larger in circumcised men then who are intact. As many say here their glans increases when the foreskin has been kept back. I'm thinking the elastic nature of the skin has a compressing effect which reduces the glans.

i notest mine was growing when i was i my first teen's, and glad it did, now when the skin is back, it just stays there, the rim stops it going over. great.

Sorry, but I call bullshit. I've played with ~a dozen cut guys and their heads were all average to small, especially compared to mine. None of them stayed big when soft. I think it's 90% genetics.

I believe my head is bigger with coronal definiton.I think it's also because the mass behind pushes it and forms the flare.Hope my glans like it,me yes :)

I don't think the actual shape of mine has changed but I am sure it is generally a bit larger most of the time.
Since the glans has a sponge like structure that engorges with blood, it is feasible that a foreskin could compress the glans to a smaller size, and that uncovering the glans would allow it to expand a bit.
You can test this by squeezing your glans between your fingers and making it bit smaller then releasing and letting it expand.
As John Doe states being uncovered lets the glans shift some way towards its full potential i.e. maximum erect size.
It may also be that after retracting for some time that the foreskin becomes a bit looser and then does not compress the glans as much when covered.
I don't think that retracting would lead to an increase in the maximum erect size, and I'm not convinced that childhood circumcision would lead to a boy growing a relatively larger glans either.

Mine also gets bigger when pulled back.

Mine is definitely more flared out and holds the foreskin back.

At what age did you start retracting? I would say now that the glans flared some as it held the foreskin back in most instances. I wonder if the flare becomes more pronounced if you start earlier in life.

Several years ago. Any suggestions? What has your experience been like?

Going on previous suggestions by other users I agree with the theory that the glans has room to expand, etc.

My glans coronal ridge is much more prominent now and my glans has gotten bigger with the bell shape being more visible.

I totally agree with the "more room" theory.

My glans is more bell shaped with a more flared coronal ridge too!

Yeah. Mine stays a lot bigger with skin back.
To the point where the skin won't stay forward and in fact feels uncomfortable unless retracted.

Mine changed in shape and size since I started.
More flared corona a bit more bell shaped and definitely a bit bigger overall.

What's interesting is that if I use the foreskin to masturbate it stays smaller during the process but if I hold it back and massage the glans directly it stays nice and big.

I'm told I have a larger sized head to begin with but I've noticed it becoming more flared since retracted, flaring out more.
