Are there many people here who just do a few days here and there I feel like I'm in a minority? As much as I'd like to be pulled back more, I find myself forgetting most of the time.
Yeah, after all these years I'm still a part timer. Since Covid hit I've been keeping it pulled back way more than before, but I always enjoy a break.

Yes it very easy to be a casual retractor, i have had phases like that
I mainly stay retracted at night. It's difficult during the day but I'm still working on it
I am as well. I can't really stay retracted during the night so it's mostly during the day. And it's off and on as it's not always in the forefront of my mind.

Its difficult when you work a job ever you have to move round a lot XD
There is nothing wrong with being a part timer or occasional retractor. I think many guys here are. When I first started I did it very occasionally, and for an erotic thrill. Sometimes I did just to have a special day, sometimes for a few days but not at night, sometimes for the entire duration of a trip away. Since I was doing it for fun, I found the great thing about going part time is that I kept the feeling of novelty each time I did it. Last year I went for a few months of full time retraction before I covered up for a while. Currently, I am doing another extended period. I expect at some point I may get a bit bored of it and cover up again. Variety is the spice of life!
Good luck to you, Spookyboi!
I'm the occasional part timer also.
I usually spend anywhere from 1 day to a week. It really depends on how I'm feeling at the time.
I have noticed when I've been retracted then go months without pulling back only the tip of my head shows when erect.
I used to be a part timer until my wife asked me to do it full time.
Yep I am the same. I spend more time forward than back again at the minute.

Yes, I've been a part timer for years. Sometimes I just do it for a few days or a weeks, just for fun. Sometimes I stay retracted for a few months at a time, but then, for whatever reason, I stop. Sometimes I lose interest for long periods of time, but I always come back to it sooner or later.
Totally a part timer here or "recreational retractor". I do not desire a permanent sensitivity loss.

I'm 1 week into this! Any idea why your wife might ask you to do it? I'm looking to make this permanent and will need the help of devices. But I don't know how to explain to my wife.

She preferred the look, and it stays cleaner after hot days at work or when not showering for a few days such as camping. I asked her what looked better and explained the cleaner part.

Just tried to broach the topic with my wife. She said "nah it's meant to stay covered for a reason." Lucky you!
Part timer here. I enjoy the choice honestly. Sometimes I get really horny from retracting and other times I want my glans covered. Was pulled back probably for a 6 month stretch last time (that being probably 90% of the time in those 6 months and always pulling back when it pushes itself forward again).
Once capable of both positions, it is like the pepper and salt on the table. Use it at will and to taste. Part timer, full timer, it's not Eurovision or a Simon Cowell show, is it?
I said this in my intro a couple months ago but I really enjoy the feeling of the head against my underwear/pants if I'm going commando. As this requires more sensitivity than is sought by most members of this forum. I only have it pulled back for a couple days at a time at most. I also moisturize after every shower with coconut oil. The coconut oil on the penis really helps with keeping everything smooth and sensitive. I highly recommend it.
With regards to how to broach the subject with ones non-penis having partner I explained the sanitary benefits to exposing it once in a while to the air. And it's true, while I never had the stinkiest foreskin, retracting for an hour or so will pretty much take care of any odors or tastes.
Definitely part-timer, I did it full time for over 20 years when I was younger but the sensitivity loss was horrible. I'm just glad now I did not go and get circumcised like I was thinking about when I was younger. I'm sure all I would have, now all I would have would be a watering hose and that's all
What was the sensitivity regain like? How long did it take? Do you feel you have recovered full sensitivity?

I only do it 2 or 3 times a week. Just for pleasure.
I can call myself a part timer too. For many years now I have reached that degree of sensitivity of the glans that allows me to live without noticing much of the difference and without feeling any discomfort, regardless of the foreskin simply pulled back and the glans uncovered inside the panties or with the glans covered . But I don't keep it constantly pulled back for more than a full week. Maybe sometimes I do a few days pulled back and a few days not. I have always had this habit, because I prefer to maintain a certain elasticity of the foreskin and from time to time I prefer to leave it relaxed in its most natural position.
