I have seen few people their penis is retracted froim their childhood, it is not cut, fully retracted and looks cool, i asked them they said it was like from childhood,... i am interested to know how is that possible???
Even if it's an old post. Why shouldn't children also start leaving the foreskin behind? If you like it, why not?
I think it's only likely to happen if your parents or siblings teach you how to do it. Sounds like some culture have that practice, but if you don't grow up in one of those places you probably won't find out about this until this site online
Why would you want to know about this.
I've seen parents ask questions on here about it.
Just seems a bit odd when these types of questions are asked about children.

Yes agreed, when taught young it helps

I think he may be saying that he has seen pictures, not sure where from though of this.
Can anyone make it clear, if you retract since before puberty does the foreskin grow with the penis or does it stay as is and becomes too short? I can't find a clear answer.

Honestly, nobody really knows. There are plenty of people who can cover it afterwards, and plenty of people who didn't actively try to stay pulled back and yet have really short skins as adults.
I'm 20 and my glan always exposed even when its flaccid I'm not circumcised
I've been leaving it retracted since childhood (probably about 7 or 8 when i first started)
My foreskin did grow with the penis, I can still cover the head when soft (and even mostly cover it while hard, thought it won't stay covered)
Well i for one wish i had knew this when i was a child, say from 10 onwards

Same sentiments here! This website should have been online 50 years ago. Jeje!
I think it will grow. It's not like it knows when to grow or not, I just think that it grows when the penis grows and thus it it's likely that it will grow even when pulled back.

I'm not sure the logic is that the foreskin won't grow, but that it'll grow accustomed to being in the retracted position and much more likely to stay retracted long term (and yeah, maybe grow a bit less than the alternative)
I started keeping retracted permanently at 11, I recall having a fully covered glans beforehand. Now the foreskin only comes down 1/3 of my glans if i roll it forward while flaccid, but will only stay that way for a few seconds before it'll roll back on its own. When erect, it can never stay forward or cover my glans for more than a second.

What made you do that at age 11 because at that age my penis was only for peeing. No clue about what else it might be useful to.

I can't answer for umbrasol, but for me part of the reason was that i always retracted to pee and just used to put it away retracted, so that's how i got my start, as well as thinking it looked better.
Don't know how I came to realized that my foreskin retracted whether taught by my parents or self-discovered. I do recall by around age 5 or 6, earliest memory that it was retractable and I would retract it for peeing and bathing. My father kept his retracted and that lead to my own retracting efforts.
I started retracting about age 7 when told to by my parents.

I'm Japanese and there's a "coming of age" tradition that my Dad told me about. Basically at the age of 11 my Dad told me to keep my foreskin retracted as a sign of manlihood. So It's been permanently retracted since then. He would remind me to keep it back at the bath houses in Japan.
I doubt that it is common to do that at an early age. Let me explain.
When I was in elementary school there weren't many occasions where I appeared naked in front of my classmates. We didn't use to shower after P.E. but all of that changed when I got into middle school. There we literally had to shower after P.E., there was no way around it. By that time I already knew I was different, having seen other kids at urinals, always with the pink tip that they just put back in their pants like it's nothing - I used to cringe at that idea so much. However, this time, it was different. I didn't really get any attention up until that point as I peed with the skin back anyway. The thing is, fom that time, when it comes to showers, I don't think I recall seeing a single uncircumcised penis in there until I was well past high school, so I naturally wanted to blend in. Before showering I used to go to the toilet, pull back my foreskin and tuck it in so that it looks cut (suprisingly, I found the technique naturally by myself). Then I put it back into my pants, went to the locker room and pull my pants down so that it could be seen that I'm like my classmates and proceeded to go showering with the head exposed. Even the brief period of the exposure before going to the locker room was unbearable. Sometimes when I was talking to my friends, there was no way of secretly pulling to foreskin back up because they would see that, so I had to put my pants on with the head exposed and pretend like nothings happening. I was usually able to go to the toilet right after and do the business but sometimes there was no time and I couldn't just do a quick move to cover the head as it was tucked in (I could always tuck it in a way that it would never go back up on its own). I remember getting my dick absolutely destroyed when I was in that situation when we were doing a several mile run. I think I even bled. It seemed so strange that my classmates were able to bear the constant friction of their head aginst the underwear and I was getting serious scratches, burns and peeling from just a brief exposure. The sharp seams of the underwear were literally peeling the skin off of my head like a freaking grater.
I can't possibly imagine children, let alone even younger kids than I was, to be able to withstand that. It's extremely sensitive when you're a kid. It took a lot of desensitizing during my teens to finally be able to bear the constant rubbing when I had the head exposed in my pants. It literally had to peel like 6 times before the underwear exposure was bearable. Had I been made to retract when I was, let's say, 7, I would be in constant agony for like a year. No fun in that.

I guess is just goes to show that we're all different. I started experimenting with keeping my foreskin pealed back when I was 6 or 7, but I did not experience the type of agony and damage that your describe. Sure, it was sensitive, but not enough to be agonizing. I enjoyed it, which is why I did it.

My experience around that age was probably between the two of you? Dunno :D It was incredibly uncomfortable and touching the glans with my fingers would be just quite painful and not good...
But then I just kept doing it and battling with barely being able to walk from the erections XD

Totally agree with you in that we all experience the sensitivity differently. I attempted keeping it retracted like you around 6 maybe a little sooner. Ironically the hyper-sensitivity was not centered on the glans (unlike most seem to indicate) but rather the little bit of exposed inner foreskin. I'd pull my foreskin back completed as far back as it would go then release it while wearing snug white briefs and as time progressed (an hour or so) the foreskin would start sliding down to where it left just the glans and a little inner foreskin expose. It was the irritating, itchy inner foreskin that bothered me the most. Eventually, it would be so bad that I just had to go and recover for awhile. The glans however was just fine. Again some guys couldn't touch their glans and I was fine rubbing it.

For me the glans was more sensitive in the early days. But now, after many years of on-and-off retracting, my glans is a lot less sensitive whenever I resume retracting after a period of keeping it covered. But my inner foreskin seems to regain more of its sensitivity after a period of covering, and needs more time to get used to retracting again. Also, I find that the direction of contact makes a big difference for my glans. For example, forward and back rubbing, like with typical stroking, feels normal and good. But sides to side rubbing, like with my thumb, is very different. It feels good, but can become too intense. And that doesn't seem to go away, even after long periods of retraction.
