What’s everyone’s reasons for pulling back

[HeroicGlance]

Never thought about it before, really...

I mean:  I grew up in the USA, and when I went into that first post gym-class shower in junior high, I realized that every other guy's dick was - different.  I had no idea what had happened to those other guys, but it looked stunted and - well, injured.

It wasn't until literally years later that I learned what circumcision was, and I was relieved to realize that I was the natural default, and my suspicions were correct:

All those guys had half of their dicks cut off...

However, that having been said:

Being a pubescent teenager and naturally curious about my own body, I wondered how it felt to "be like that."  This was further reinforced by my increasing interest in the opposite sex, and suspecting that most women preferred cut men (Because - of course- I saw nothing but cut men in my first exposure to porn, and figured that was what women wanted - god, I was a dumb kid, LOL!)

The first time I fully retracted, and tried just walking around for a day, the interior of my foreskin literally blistered, and took two days to heal.

When I got my first serious girlfriend, I always kept it retracted when we were together because I figured that was what she expected.  We had sex over 100 times before I told her that I was uncut.  Turns out she had never been with an uncut guy, and asked me to show her how it worked. 

Thinking back, I wish it had been filmed, with David Attenborough narrating - but that's aside from the point.

I started retracting on a regular basis when I discovered - for some reason - it helped me sleep.  This was in my 20's, and I continued doing so for years.

At a certain time, keratinization kicked in, my coronal ridge expanded, and during colder months, I found my foreskin slipping back on its own.

Here's where I am now.

Hahahah I loved that bit of the story

1- I liked the looks of the glans showing with the wrinkles just behind it; 2 - I wanted to desensitivize the glans becase before I couldn't even touch it, or just the hot water from the shower was hurtful, or if I had an erection and the glans were exposed it was very uncomfortable in the underwear; 3 - my boyfriend has a naturally short foreskin with a big head, so his foreskin is always behind the glans since his teenage years, so I wanted to know what was his feeling/sensation; 4 - I wanted to have less smells in the glans, 'cause he complained in the beginning; 5 - I wanted to have a smooth and dry glans like my boyfriend's; 6 - I wanted to know, as much as possible, how circumcised guys felt sex; 7 - I wanted to delay my ejaculation because I was too quick.

For me it's the look and easiest hygienical care. You just don't meet to care about smegma under foreskin.

Most of the older males that I saw as a child (my father, brother and cousin), have bare glans. So I got the idea that glans are supposed to naturally become permanently uncovered as you reach adulthood.

Are they circumcised or also permanently retracted?

[James84]

My father and brother have a naturally short foreskins, I witness how my brother went from full coverage to always retracted during puberty and my cousin was circumcised as a baby.

Aesthetics, sensations, don´t know just feel right for me. Could be also something about adutlhood you know.

Just like PossibleMagician, I do it mostly for autoerotic reasons when the mood hits.

This is because there is a sense of value among older Japanese men that it is normal for adult male cocks to have their glans fully exposed, otherwise they are immature and embarrassing.

My father retracted full-time and started me retracting when I was late 13, early 14. I continued off and on for a few years and by 17 I started retracting full-time. I think having the glans exposed looks much more masculine.

I think I do it for a number of reasons, in no particular order:
1. Hygiene, especially after using a public restroom when I might not be able to shake off as well as at home.
2. The look, especially when soft. I love a bare, dry bell end with a bit of a foreskin turtleneck. Also, it seems like almost everyday is a "good dick day" since I've been pulling back. It's not as small as it is covered.
3. The feel of my head rubbing on my clothes all day. It's just hot.
4. Fitting in. My boyfriend, dad, older brother and at least three of my five nephews are cut, so I guess it feels good to be "one of the boys."

Which country are you from mate?

I originally did it for the look, but the change in sensation and the new varieties of masturbation styles it enabled were a pleasant surprise bonus.

Skin was rolling back (even when flaccid) on occasions, so I wanted to take control of the situation and decide for myself when and how often I was pulled back. Not particularly interested in the look or the lower level of sensitivity, but defintely like the feeling of being naked and pulled back
