Hello I'm 27 from the UK I've been pulled back for years. Do get scared being pulled back when using public toilets incase anyone sees it pulled back.
Also has anyone made the decision to go forwards again and what was the outcome
I sometimes take a break and don't pull back for a while - it's just whatever I feel like doing. Also a good way to get the head a little more sensitive again.
Depending on the pb method you should not feel awkward. Being bare is nothing special, I guess no one would even notice. Spooning or a covered glans ring, or if your skin stays behind by itself is not a problem at all. Taping or coining is much more obvious, I too would think about showing it.
The rest is as Kylar puts it: you gain some sensitivity after some time of reverting, but nothing dramatically ireversible..
I am currently in my "forward" period, for the last couple of weeks.
Not really but i do keep it over the odd time just for a change, but most of the time it is pulled back as it is now. i do like it that way.
I take breaks sometime. Just whenever feels like it. Don't obsess about it - do what feels good for you for that moment. Pulling back, staying forward... I say just have fun and enjoy it, it's your body mate :-)
As to being seen, I'd say it depends on your method of pulling back. I've been thinking about this too. Would anyone notice in public restrooms or at the gym showers? Most guys around are cut. I bet many haven't seen an uncut penis.
After a couple of months with the spoon method, my foreskin now stays back on its own behind the head. So while it doesn't look cut I don't think anyone would know the difference from a distance of public showers or urinals.

Like most you can take a break, some do it for months or years. I wouldn't be ashamed in toilets to keep it back though
I'm an older guy quite content with the current sensitivity and ability to stay pulled back for a day or so a week with minimal help. Often my briefs are enough or i use a small band. Most of the time I leave it forward lest I lose more sensitivity. 10% of the time pulled back works for me.
sometimes it rollback in the ngiht and the little smell, and less dry skin make me insta retract it xd
i never think about stop this journey in years
Well I very rarely cover it just to try how it felt before..but it's not the same anymore because I'm already so used to being pulled back all the time...
No longer like my glans and skin wet and sticky...and feeling only the tip of my glans or just the skin touching my underwear :)
@Wannbcut93 Why are you worried about urinals? Many (most?) blokes retract to pee even if they aren't permanent retractors, don't they? And who really looks at other guys penis at the urinal anyway?
I've done 5 years pulled back and maybe 15 years not, now I do it off and on. I'd say if you pulled back for a long period of time, it takes a few months of keeping it forward until you get all your sensitivity back.
I am happy and proud of my penis with the naked glans. I have kept it that way since I was 14 years old and I have never covered my head again, today I am 63 years old. In the sauna and in the collective showers in the gym I feel comfortable and it does not cause me any problem that others observe my penis. The same happens in public urinals. Sometimes I use a glans ring as an ornament. I saw those rings for the first time on a nude beach in Brazil, I really liked them, I bought 4 and I use them normally, even in front of dother people in the sauna or in the gym shower. My favorite glans ring is the one in the photograph, it is 30mm inside diameter.
I guess since I'm from the US where bare glans is by far the most common look, I don't feel at all self conscious about wear my foreskin back at public restrooms, locker rooms, etc. And honestly, I think most people aren't looking anyway.
I really enjoy keeping my glans bare full time, because I think it looks and feels nicer, so I don't really have any plans to roll forward for extended period again.
I tried a few months back, but I couldn't. I would cover the glans when soft and a few minutes in, I would notice the head was bare again. My skin is now accostumed to sit in the pulled back position. I am currently trying to cover the glans while masturbating, but it really wants to roll back against my big corona flare.
I am just starting back, I'm 68 and started pulling back in my early 20's but quit in my late 40's because of loss of sensitivity. then shortly after that I had and accident while having sex with my girlfriend and bend my penis over while semi erect and ended up wilh Peyronie's disease which is just a polite way to say I broke it. So because of all of the pain, and I lost 1-1/2 inches in length from that, so I just quit keeping pulled back for 20years. But I always liked the way it felt so I am going at it again. Been two weeks now, have been using clear and red soft silicone o-rings (50A durometer) to help with keeping retracted. But once I start loosing to much sensitivity I will go to just retracted during the day.
