    No, it's not ok. The entire head of a normal penis is exposed when erect. You can't retract it at all? Hard to tell from the side view but it looks like you have partial phimosis.

    Like most things, foreskin length is different for everyone.

    I've seen penises with long droopy skin which still covers the head completely

    when erect, or like myself, there is foreskin which is really short so when

    I get an erection it will go back really tight behind my glans which can sometimes

    make mine look as if i'm circumcised (i'm not!). All types are normal, as long as

    it does retract without any tightness problems you're fine!
