I have tight foreskin that doesn't retract when I am erect. I noticed that on the directions on condom packages they tell you to retract the foreskin before putting the condom on. If I don't retract my foreskin, will this cause problems with the condom during intercourse? Why do they tell you to retract your foreskin before putting a condom on?

Foreskin and Condoms

So you can feel something?
You really should work on stretching the foreskin. There is a thread up top which covers this in teh Male Anatomy thread.
-
Yes, you're not going to feel much with the foreskin covering the glans and the condom on top of it, because the condom will prevent the natural gliding action of the foreskin against the glans, and the foreskin will instead act as a blocker of pleasure. Work on stretching your foreskin so it can retract - it will be well worth your effort, and you'll have much more fun with a condom on.

I can confirm you're not going to feel much with the foreskin and condom covering the head (never had an orgasm with that situation). But it never really caused problems with me. The only thing was the foreskin wanted to pull back as I was going in and out and it kind of pinched sometimes. Definitely work on the stretching because the foreskin is supposed to go up and down and will try to do so anyway.On the plus side of things, you will be able to go for a very long time

yup, in as far as the protection of the condom goes - i don't think this will do anything to tampen this. But two hrs later you may be falling asleep having not yet cum - lol.
Smiler :smile:

Andrew, I have to disagree with those who suggest that an unretractable foreskin covered with a condom will significantly decrease sensation. If we assume that your glans is usually covered by your foreskin, both your glans and foreskin should be highly sensitive, having been protected, long-term, from drying and abrasive chafing. At least that was my experience.
You would be advised to "stretch" that opening to permit comfortable retraction during masturbation and intercourse. A simple exercise is shown here: [http://www.foreskin.org/46-33-03.jpg][0] Pull gently but firmly out, away from your body, inserting your fingers if possible, and stretching the opening as though you were holding a pillow case open. Hold the 'stretch' for up to five minutes and repeat several times a day and you should have a functional foreskin in short order.

What was your experience? You are saying that you had a unretractable forskin and when using a condom, you had full sensation????? Yeah.
-
My experience with an unretractable foreskin was that orgasmic sensations were terrific, awesome, knee-bending, and mind-blowing, especially as compared to the dismal, progressive lack of sensation after circumcision. Yeah.Korydon

After circumcision...are you circumcised?
-
Yes, Amanda, tragically. However, my foreskin has been restored by patient, persistent effort. See http://www.norm-phoenix.org/. The beautiful results have fooled doctors.

Hmm you're contradicting yourself then. A few months ago you had never been cut.

I just scanned through all 69 of Korydon's posts to date, and I never found any such claim. Instead, here he said:In reply to:But when I was a kid, my foreskin wouldn't retract at all, and I was made to feel terribly self-conscious about it. The foreskin opening and the meatus didn't exactly line up either, which caused no end of problems. Rather than gradually stretch the opening (something I couldn't quite imagine) I stupidly relied on the advice (and non-advice) of a half-dozen doctors, all of whom recommended circumcision. 'Twas the worst mistake of my life.And here, in response to one of your brief, sweeping statements on a complex problem, he said:In reply to:It's not fair to others, Amanda, nor is it enlightening for me to say yes, while you say no in ten brief syllables, without investigating in depth the nature of the intact penis in its role during sexual intercourse...And here he said:In reply to:Amanda is a caring and thoughtful person, and I'm sure that her empathy for others and her value judgements will, in time, be better informed by experience and understanding.Now this wouldn't be a personal issue, would it?

Thank you. You saved me the trouble of going through all of my messages to discover which item Amanda might have been referencing. Though I mean well, I can see how my responses to several of her posts might be seen as unnecessarily acerbic, and, if so, I apologize. An important lesson which I never seem to learn is that a bit of honey sweetens the tale. And yet, on the subject of genital mutilation, male and female, I tend to be unrelentingly severe, in response to the cruelty of the act. Words can sting, yes, but we should all take the opportunity, sometime, to hear the screams of the infants who are being forcibly mutilated. There are over a million each year, alone, here in these United States, some 3,000 every day. It's a tragic indictment of the cruely and barbarism of American society. Korydon

I'm sorry...I had mistaken him with someone else. Steve, you have way too much time on your hands.

You're a man with a mission. Most people don't care deeply about much of anything, short of the next video game or car or celebrity death. It's good to see someone passionate about something, especially something worthy.
