Pulled back — living with a bare head

We're all here for one goal: to achieve autocirc
But how comfortable are you being seen doing this?

I understand that some brothers here are doing this but are not willing to be known by others.
For me, I'm almost retracted 24/7, so I wouldn't care if other men see my glans exposed when I'm in the locker room or Japanese onsen.

Feel free to share more if you're outside of those options above.

Been pulled back for years.
I'm also a naturist so completely comfortable being seen pulled back.
Tend not even to give it a thought that I am.

I do it only for myself and nobody knows about it, not even my girlfriend (I would be ashamed in front of her). In public places like a sauna I am in my natural state (I would feel like a deviant).

I hope I would be comfortable anywhere but, being 71 and not at all sporty, changing room situations are unlikely.  I am in the UK where most guys are intact so, when I first started day to day retraction I would sometimes be hesitant in using public urinals but nowadays am not concerned; if someone sees me retracted, they see me, end of.  Some months ago I was in a theatre gents during a performance break, there were wall hung urinals, close together with no partitions.  A chap standing next to me started to chat about the performance and must have seen my penis (spooned back), I assume he thought I was circumcised.  On the occasions when my foreskin had slipped forward by accident, I was a little shy in retracting at a public urinal.  It seemed a little overtly sexual in public.  However, I soon got over this hang-up and now would retract and leave it back afterwards without a thought.  After all, there must be many guys who retract to pee but do not practice autocircumcision, it must be quiet commonplace.

As regards partners, my wife sees me either pulled back or spooned, she sees the former as more natural but otherwise is completely used to my preferences.

I don't think I'd mind being seen but here in Indonesia it's not like we have any public places where we're completely nude anyway. No public baths, people don't go nude in swimming pool/gym/etc changing rooms either.

I love having my glans exposed.
I always do it with my wife or in the showers at the gym.
I love this look.

I believe this is not exactly healthy for young men to build up their body image, when they have no visual access to other male bodies, especially when they're in puberty.
It is good to let teenagers/young boys to understand the changes of their body are going to have in real life rather than in textbooks.
The male body changes a lot compares to the female, we have moustaches/beard, armpit and pubic hair, and most importantly our penises changes a lot in terms of size and foreskin status during puberty.

I mean it's a backwards country that lets the majority religion steer its norms and laws despite saying it's secular and diverse lol
What is a man to do but go to the internet or hope their parents are decently educative 🤷‍♀️

I have no problem to show it.

As a naturist you see a lot of guys, pulled back or not. It doesn't matter, you just feel good.

I am happy to have my glans exposed in a public nudity situation. Most guys I've seen have their glans exposed in the locker room. I'm in scotland so either they all retract in the locker room or there's a sudden boom in circumcision lol I know a few will be cut but I'd say the majority have foreskins and expose their glans.

Youre suggesting that guys in scotland are mostly intact and have the habit of exposing their glans?
That's interesting to know.
Is that something in Scotland only or in the whole UK generally, from your observation?

I'm going to say most of scotland will be uncut. The majority of men will likely retract their foreskins when showering, even for a short period.

This was normal for me as a little boy. With your father or mother in the outdoor pool and having your foreskin behind was nothing special. and as I got older (puberty) I stopped doing that in the shower after exercise. Then it seemed strange to me to show the free glans in front of others.

Why did you have your skin behind when you were a child? For me it was impossible to do that

Was it impossible for you because it didn't work, or because it didn't hold?

For me, the head wouldn't hold the skin back, it would have gone forward the instance I let go

As a little boy my foreskin was probably tight but long.
It never stayed in clothes because the foreskin quickly slipped back out again. But when swimming naked at the sea or at home while bathing or showering in the changing room of the swimming pool, it held up. And when the foreskin was pushed behind, I should leave it like that
It works sometimes :-)

This is a great question! I definitely have male friends I wouldn't want to be naked around LOL

However I have already been completely naked with my glans exposed around strangers in a nudist context. There was no staring or anything sexual going on so it was not uncomfortable.

I'm probably more comfortable with my glans exposed to women than I am with men.

Interesting!
Just to clarify, do you mean that you'll intentionally pull your foreskin forward to cover your glans when you happned to be naked in front of your male friends?

For me I'm not fussed at all. Pulled forward or back I don't think makes any difference really.

It's exactly the same here in india, where it's not normal or even taboo at places like gym or swimming, if someone got naked. I think I would be pretty comfortable seen retracted, but might change seeing how other guys look down there.

Well, for me pulling back is quite an involved process, and I have to prepare myself psychologically even when doing it in a nudist/exhibitionist context. When I pull back and expose my glans I am absolutely putting on a display.

I've never seen a single one of my male friends naked, all of our interactions have been while fully clothed. There is a near zero possibility that we would be in a social situation where we are nude. If I had to be naked in their company, I would probably leave my foreskin situation as it is, where the tip of my glans is naturally exposed but the rest of it is covered. I definitely do not want to display anything to them.

I see.
Considering in a long run, when you've achieved completely aids-free retracted state, where you're glans is 100% exposed anytime, do you think you'll still intentionally pull your foreskin forward when you're naked in front of others?

I probably wouldn't. In those contexts the key thing is despite the nudity I appear "as is" without any self-touching lol.

I've been having the nastiest cases of shy bladder recently while staying pulled back and going to the public toilet's urinals.  Oh well XD

I thought it was just me that had this issue! Although I dont think its directly related to being pulled back to be honest so  maybe this isnt the right thread for me!

I know what you mean. I would feel very "exposed" showing my glans in public. But, would like to build up the courage to do so one day!!

As I wear a ring 50% of the time, when I do, I would hide it with my fingers at the urinal or in the locker would remove it or pull the skin frontwards. If not wearing a ring, no fuss, I am proud of my dry and clean cherry :)
