I am keeping my foreskin since I was 12 or 13. It all happened when I saw my cousin doing it. Once we were on a family vacation. While peeing I noticed that his was looking like cut. I asked him why did he get rid of it. Then he said that it is not cut but actually he keeps it back all the time. I very much liked the look of the penis and I myself wanted to do it. But I was struggling to keep it pulled back. As soon as I go soft it would roll down. I asked him to show me the technique. What he said was after making it erect and pulling back and forth the foreskin penis go soft and after that if we keep it pulled back it stays there. I tried myself and it worked. He was basically telling to keep it pulled back after masturbation. At that time either of us did not know about masturbation. It even solved the problem of smegma.
Since then I am keeping it pulled back.
That's interesting. I've always felt that if you keep the foreskin retracted after masturbating, it helps it to relax into, and accept the retracted configuration, and stay that way. It seems that, at least for you, this has proven to be true.
At about age of 13 me and my cousin at the same age started getting curious about each other's dicks so we started playing with them.
Often jerking and blowing each other, with freely retractable skins but always after we finished the jobs we both fully covered again, and not only pushing the skin forward but pull it all the way front so we had nice overhang.
No one of us never even thought about keeping the skin retracted or jerking without the skin, until couple of years ago when I told him I keep it retracted.
So now we both are permanent retractors bit I wish someone simply mentioned something about it by that time.....

Its interesting that when your young etc there seems to be no mention of keeping your foreskin back. When i was young the guys who had there skin back where cut, i tried to keeping mine back, but it took some time to learn a technique to keep it back. Even now i bet there are few men who understand or know about how to keep there skin back.
When I was 12 I learnt about stretching and pulling foreskin from my cousins who were about 14 & 11 at that time. While bathing we used to do stretching together. But idea of keeping pulled back never occurred in our mind at that time.

It is interesting how some guys in their youth don't seem to go with what I would perceive to be as the natural route curiosity of keeping or trying to retract the foreskin. Some guys naturally retract their foreskin much later in their life unaware there is a glans underneath. Perhaps I was just a precocious child and being an only child often forced me to be naturally curious and observant. Early on as a boy, I can't ever recall my foreskin not being retractable. I also came to recognize that I had a glans underneath the foreskin. This is also how I learn from observation that my dad kept his foreskin retracted. I made a lot of efforts at staying retracted from a young age but since I adhesions until the age of 8, the foreskin would not stay lodged behind the glans.
Thesevenpointfive what was your technique for keeping it back?

I started putting something under the skin, which i can not remember now and that kept it back for a while, then i remember stretching the skin back and it seemed to roll over when it went forward, similar to the spoon method, but sometimes it was fine other it would roll back or when soft cover most of the head.

I remember as a young kid not knowing there was anything underneath. I just thought some boys were born like me and some where born circumcised. When I figured it out, I came by just pulling the foreskin back without any other stimulation.

Yes we used to get erection whenever we used to pull the foreskin back at that age but few strokes usually needed to ejaculate. We use to pull back while bathing and used to get erect instantly and used to comparing each other. Rarely used to masturbate in shower.
During teenage or pre teenage focus stays on playing with the penis. So it hardly comes in the mind to keep pulled back at that age. At starting of teenage I used to play with my penis before going to sleep at night though I was shooting blank. Same I have observed for my cousins also. One of my cousin used to ejaculate everyday by stimulating the morning wood.
I think due to very sensitive glans nobody tries to keep it exposed at that age.
When you first start pulling back, there is a tendency to get erections, then when you get soft the skin goes back over the head, so the trick is not to think about it, but it's hard to do when you first start

I agree, I knew that my retracting the foreskin would immediately start giving me an erection by age 6. I actually looked forward to it. It seems that some guys perhaps most really had a hard time with sensitivity issue though. I admit there was sensitivity but judging from the most guys comments here it really was more of a painful experience. It's unfortunate. I have no point of reference since growing up as a kid, the majority of my friends were circumcised. They never complained of their exposed glans.

That is why after ejaculation it becomes very easy to keep it pulled back.

I would get the same effect after ejaculation. My foreskin would stay back even as a sat down or bent over. Unfortunately it was only temporary. At least in my case. :(
How old are you now, nmh? Any photos? Interesting to see how things develop if you keep the skin back early...

But in my case glans becomes very sensitive after ejaculation and i always cover it for few minutes. Though I used to masturbate very less until late teenage.

It seems to be quite same for me. Glans is very sensitive to touch after ejaculation . Though it was not much problem in my case as sensitivity decreased a lot after starting to keeping pulled back.
I had a peculiar way of masturbating. After I started producing sperm I used to masturbate only till the point just before ejaculation due to the mess it used to create with ejaculation. I only used to ejaculate while bathing only that too when bathing alone. If there used to be any one like sibling or cousin I used to just ignore my erection.
I think it is not even good to masturbate infront of cousin or sibling even when we were young teenage.
One of my cousin who tried to keep pulled back after seeing mine lost interest because of sensitivity of the glans. My younger brother have a short foreskin with half of the glans permanently exposed so he keeps pulled back without any problem.

In the morning I used to ejaculate in bath and after that I used to keep pulled back. It would stay back until I go to sleep at night. Foreskin used to roll down while sleeping which I pull back again while bathing next day.

How did you controlled the feeling of not ejaculating after a masturbation session? In my case I and my younger brother had to share a room so no privacy till i was 15.
Interesting!
I have read on this forum a few times that when you keep your foreskin retracted during puberty, your foreskin does not grow larger along with your penis and your develop a shorter foreskin that is not able to fully cover the glans. Do you have that same experience?
you know... circumcision is not very common in austria / europe . so i grew up with a foreskin (long overhang) and all my friends at school and at the local soccer-club had the same style.. at about 13 i saw a bare head for the very first time. i am not gay but it faszinated me.. i liked the appearance and got hard when i tried to pull my skin back too... in any case the skin covered my glans even when my cock was fully erected...
i could pull it back and forward very easy - so it was not a big deal for me to masturbate.
as i wrote im my intro: i started pulled back at the age of 23 after i had balanitis. the doctor gave me a cream and did not talk about the possibility of circumcision.
with 23 you meet girls, you see xxx-mags and nearly all photos of cocks showed bare head...the first 3 years i simply pulled back and when the skin moved back foreward i pulled it back.. not bad, but not good. then i read about the spoon method first time and i use it since then.
now i would love to fix the shaft skin at the bottom to have a nice gap between glans and foreskin.. how could i do? idk yet.
but what i want to say about early teenage years... if i could go back i would retract my foreskin as early as possible and i would recommend that to every other boy.
sorry for my english, as german is my native language.

I think keeping pulled back permanently in teenage is very rare in my community. Although it is very common to retract to pee and keeping it retracted while bathing as young as 9. I can tell it as far as I remember glans used to be very pinkish and shiny of all the boys I have seen in early teenage. Circumcision is also not done and even if it is required then a slit is made in the foreskin which results in a loose foreskin.
