Question:
How long do you keep your foreskin pulled back:
Option 1: Months at a time
Option 2: Weeks at a time
Option 3: Days at a time
Option 4: Permanently retracted
Option 5: Hours at a time
Hi,
I keep my foreskin pulled back for days or weeks at a time and wondered who else does this or whether most of you do it permanently.
I keep mine retracted for about 24 to 48 hours at a time, taking a break for a few days. I am planning on increasing the on-time to longer periods.
I voted "months at a time," because I do that sometimes. But other times I just do it for weeks or days. I also usually let the skin come forward when I sleep, but keep it back during the day.
Days at a time is what I voted because sometimes I really get that discomfort from being retracted for a long period (2-3 days) so I switch back to covered for some hours or a day and then I start to miss the rubbing and retract again. I ususaly keep it retracted/folded 70-80% of the time.
I like to keep retracted all the time. Now and then the foreskin covers, but then just a pull back does the trick.
I voted weeks because currently I'm up to 8 weeks, but. That's the longest I ever managed, previous it was only ever days.
I'm fairly new to this, but I'm keeping it retracted all the time. If it ever covers the foreskin, I just pul it back again
I have yet to go longer than 5 days mostly a day or two at a time then I get frustrated from the constant adjustment. I have full coverage and my frenulum pulls it back even when hard more often than not.
Cheeky vote, but ... I voted 'months' as before I was circumcised, I kept it pulled back for four years without a break.
I keep mine back now at least 99% of the time and have done since the mid 80's, so well used to keeping it back, and i love it that way. Makes a nice change from being over the head for the first 16 years of my life. All info in My Story, in the Introductions section.
So far I've only stayed back while taped. Grower with pretty long skin.
Longest was a couple days. Usually just while hard then between jerking off sessions I'll keep it taped back
Mines month at a time
at present, I can only keep it back for a few hours. so glad I found this site could really use some guidance. im in the nyc/nnj area
Nowadays I would have voted for permanent retraction!
My skin is back all the time, all day all night no matter what! :)
I voted permanently because it was retracted 24/7 for 20 years and then I was circumcised in 1991.
It's been always retracted for more than 10 years. Once in a while I let it go covered, but it's only a few days per year. The thing is, being exposed for so long, I'm so used to the hygiene and bareness, that being covered feels strange and a bit disgusting ! Also, covered masturbation (i.e foreskin over glans) no longer works for me - that's one less reason for covering.
I selected months at a time, I have slowly increased the time between being pulled forward over the last year. Now I think over the last 6 months I have only been pulled forward for less than 30 minutes. Interestingly even after more than 3 years pulled back I don't have the deep creases in my glans that I see in some people's pictures.
This one is hard to answer. I certainly aspire to being a permanent, no exceptions retractor. And I have gone months of continuous retraction, but more typically I'll go for days or weeks, and then have brief stretches of covered glans. It's never covered long enough to change the skin on my glans, but long enough to break my streaks.
I have been retracting on and off for most of my adult life and more or less continuously (with interruptions) for more than a decade. At this point it feels much more normal and natural to have my glans exposed. And I pretty much always masturbate without a foreskin. And when I get a handjob, my partners seem to naturally gravitate towards holding the skin back without me even having to ask, maybe because they see so many cut guys.
I keep my foreskin back 99% of the time, i am lucky it just stays there and feel's so good like that. have done for years now and once you get used to it, it just seams a natural thing to do.
Permanently since 2003
Mine is permanently retracted. In fact if I try and pull the skin forward it will immediately retract. I think the foreskin may have possibly shrunk as it's no longer big enough to cover the head. In my pre pullback day it would fully cover the glans with some spare. Whereas now it will only reach half way over.
Plus I have a PA which gets in the way if I do try and pull it forward.
I keep my back 24/7.
New to this, so far have gone 48 hrs. Probably just going to do it on and off for a few days here and there. I still love having my foreskin rubbing over my glans and the look of sliding it back and forward to expose the glans is a turn on for me. Just now enjoying having the glans out in full with a hidden foreskin is fun and cool to see when I get my cock out for a piss/wank/shower.
For me so far the vote is 'permanently' but I miss the sensitivity and rubbing over clothes from the first days and weeks and at the same time I don't want to waste the progress,inerrupt and cover. I'll persist!
I vary my time pulled back. There's perhaps a day where I feel that I want to be bare so I pull back then there's times where its been weeks. Just depends whatever takes my fancy.
Permanenty pulled back
