A forum for people interested in keeping the foreskin pulled back — be it for fun, for health reasons or anything else: Let's share experience, methods, stories and all that about our pulled back foreskins.

NB. This is not a circumcision support group. While there's no problem with cut guys, this isn't your place to live out your foreskin removal fetish — plenty of forums for that elsewhere.

Other than that: please read the Readme in the readme forum, write an intro... have fun I guess? :)

Hi everyone, I'm interested in reducing my risk of STIs - previously had been interested in circumcision in part as a way to do that.

Are there any known methods for making the inner foreskin more resistant/harder for viruses to infiltrate ? I've heard keratinization is not really a thing that develops for circumcision or retraction, but some people here seem to pursue it. Does using alcohol method do this?

This is not a highly practical question as I use condoms pretty religiously – it's just a mental superiority thing 😉

Honestly the only thing that's been truly proven to work is condoms.

I recall there was some studies that claimed circ reduced risk of contracting HIV in areas where prevalence is high. But, the best risk mitigation for STIs (et al) is risk reduction through behaviors which it sounds like you're practicing already. If you're never exposed to an STI, then you can't catch one - that's how I kinda think about it.
