Well i have started to pull back very recently (16 years old). I'm just wondering and this may sound like a daft question, but when im erect should my foreskin go below the head on it's own?.. I've never been told anything about this so i'm pretty much at a loss. When im flacid should the foreskin be able to go over the head too?

Retraction help please!!!

I doubt it goes fully back behind the head for most guys. I'll guess it would be 1/2 to 3/4 on it's own.
-
it pretty much goes back 3/4 the way for me when i'm erect, i have to manually pull it back myself to fully retract it.

Sounds fine -- if it's comfortable to pull back when hard, and has some mobility, it's all cool. It isn't required that it automatically retracts.

With mine, when I'm erect..it retracts by itself..all the way to the rim of the head..crown...whatever its called..and when I'm flaccid it retracts back easily as well...but you have to take into consideration, the amount of overhang you have..meaning, if you have a pretty chunk of foreskin, it might be more difficult for it to retract on its own...I don't have alot of overhang maybe thats why its easier for me....frm the sounds of it, you are perfectly fine..just make sure, like metioned before..slide the skin abckand make sure you wash it...smegma..is not a plesant thing to have

MUCH appreciate all the help. One final question, when i retract when flacid, im slightly apprehensive to take it all the way over the head (although i think i can do now). When i retract over the head will it be easy to get it back over the head? I'm just slightly worried incase it doesnt!

It should go back easily when flaccid if it's not too tight. If it is tight and you get an erection, it could get stuck. What you do is squeeze the head hard in the palm of your hand to squeeze the blood out of the head, making it smaller. Then you quickly pull the skin back over. Unroll it rather than just pulling it back so that it does not fold over itself.

When I was younger..when I learned to slide the skin back..I was very apprehensive about it..I did it slow..and the skin did stay there for a bit...and I was scared that it would stay that way. However, I was able to slide it back without any problems...all this when i was flaccid...buddy, also, you being apprehensive about it...do you have a big mushroom head that may cause the skin to stay retracted?..I don't have a huge head so it's easier for the skin to slide back and forth..sometimes I want it to stay retracted..but it just keeps sliding back.I suggest..sliding it back slowly...once you reach the rim..if you're still feeling discomfort...then do it even more slow..until it goes back...have you tried using lube..or talking to your dad (if he's around..did he have the same problems you're having)?....don't worry too much about it..my cousin still can't slide his skin all the way back..he's 26 and it wokrs perfectly fine..take your time and don't hurt yourself..let us know how it turns out
