Foreskin Retraction. (Picture included)

Male 18

No idea whether this is considered a problem or not but is it okay that my foreskin doesn't retract the whole way. It goes past my glans fine but not the whole way down the shaft.

I can masturbate perfectly fine but i'm worried it may turn into a problem during sex.

    I'm wondering what made you think it was abnormal?

      Well I thought I should be able to pull it pretty much as far as I wanted and I had heard of people ripping their frenulum during sex, so I thought this might be why.

    Hi dude, my penis is really similar to yours in the way the frenulum is tight and restricts the foreskin movement, but i also have mild phimosis where it is sometimes hard to return the foreskin to its original position, i do also get a bit of paraphimosis but ive only had to really try to get it back once and am thinking of getting a circumcision and getting rid of the frenulum, do you have phimosis or any other discomfort?

      Please don't go for circumcision too readily. You can keep your foreskin looser by regular gentle stretching, possibly with the aid of specialised or prescription creams, thus retaining the sensitive pleasurable nerve endings. There are differing views about circumcision and sexual feeling - some men circumcised as adults say there is no difference in feeling, others regret deeply consenting to it. Others again who were circumcised as babies go to great efforts to restore the foreskin, because they feel deprived of choice and sensitivity. Personally, I'm very glad to still have mine intact, even though I have had occasional difficulties with keeping it loose.

    Well buddy there is no need to worry. It isnt any kind of prob but it's just that ur foreskin's length is comparatively larger. N that is very normal.

    Some men have a shorter foreskin n thus it doesn't folds behind the glans.
