Foreskin Q

---

Well, for a 12y/o, should the foreskin be able to fully retract? I know it may not be able to yet but im just asking. For me it does not.Q 2: When I stretch the foreskin back, when you look into the hole you dont usually see the line of the glans. Usually I have to pull the left side down (not alot, just a tiny bit) to be able to see the line in the middle of the glans, where the urethra is located. Is this an attachment or no? I knew the foreskin had to be retracted, but I never knew that it could retract all the way to behind the glans. I do wash the foreskin when I do stretch it in the shower like the inside of the foreskin.Q 3: I need very vivid descriptions on how the pain/sensitivity feels, I know its different for everyone but I want to get the idea of the sensitivity. I have read through most of the Foreskin forum section and the stretching thread. Lance? Any advice?P.S: I do some stretching in the shower and when I get out.

Lance is no longer here.1. Yes it should retract fully behind the glans both when erect and flaccid.2. I don't quite understand your question here.3. I guess the sensitivity can somewhat be described as rubbing your eyeball with a dry finger?

I think the second question is that the opening of the foreskin isn't exactly in line with the meatus, and is that a problem; to which I would say no, things aren't perfectly symmetrical.

So since I am still very young, is it normal that I cant fully retract?

I think you should be able to retract by now, but you never really explained what level of retraction you are able to achieve at thsi time.

Well I have been stretching but not for retraction because I thought that the when you retract the foreskin, it didn't uncover the head like I mean that when you pull back to reveal the hole where the glans are visible but arent exposed was the full retraction. I am starting stretching like today or tomorrow but the hole isnt small nor too big obviously so I will post later about how big the opening is.

You can try retracting slowly. It helps if you have an erection. Don't overdo it. Start slow. If the opening is too small, try getting smaller fingers inside and pull it apart to widen the opening.

Well I would estimate to about a pencil tip eraser size or sometimes slightly larger, but I think I have an adhesion still. I have read that in kids my age, I should just do normal stretching and let the adhesion naturally dissolve itself by age, since adolescence is just beginning.

Adhesions at this ae are probably rather weak and a little pressure on it would probably help it separate.

From what I've heard, in most infants the foreskin adheres to the glans. This adhesion usually separates in early childhood, but sometimes it may not separate until adolescence, or even occasionally late adolescence. If there is any adhesion it may separate with a little rubbing and a bit of baby oil, but don't force anything, and give it time. The same for stretching - don't over-stretch and be gentle.

Although most boys can fully retract by age 12, many still can't and you have no need to worry. It's good to start trying to retract though, and you should do this regularly but gently. If it is painful, then you are pulling too hard, and you should ease off. Sensitivity of the head is something that seems to vary, and some boys have no problem with it, while others can't bear to touch their newly exposed glans. But once the glans has become used to being touched, then gentle stimulation of it should be extremely pleasurable.And don't worry about the foreskin opening not being in line with the slit in your glans, that's of no consequence at all, unless it make you spray uncontrollably when you pee. If this is the case, then this is all the more reason to stretch your foreskin so that you can pull it back to pee, at least far enough to uncover the pee slit in your knob.Good luck with the stretching.
