A very thorough analysis. However,I cant agree with any of the first section. i've never been advised, nor to my knowledge, any of my friends that retraction is advised. Here in UK foreskins are the norm. I'm sure each guy figures out the best way to manage urinating. for example if I retract it will go in several directions and make a hell of a mess. Other guys probably have no problem with retraction but I noticed earleir posts where the foreskin as a funnel is important. Regarding the old chestnut that peeing through the foreskin, or foreskins in general are less healthy is, in general, untrue (yes I know about the supposed benefit fo circumcision to avoid STD's) Probably those with stinky smells under foreskins are the same types who may retract or are circumcised but dont have good personal hygiene. I dont know the real numbersbut world wide guys with foreskins are a big majority of the male population. If they were all smelly I guess we would all know lol.
Notwithstanding the fact that I totally confirm what I wrote previously, I would like to make four clarifications to explain my idea even better.
1) I never said that not being circumcised (I have a foreskin) was wrong, negative, ugly etc. Most men in the world, some say 2/3, are uncircumcised. Logically, if we wanted to completely analyze the subject we could also add that a small part of this majority has a foreskin that does not cover the entire glans, but this is another theme. Returning to the above, I absolutely do not think that, regardless, the presence of the foreskin is a cause of stink or dirt.
2) As can be hypothesized, even circumcised men, if they do not care about their personal hygiene, can stink. We must therefore dispel this myth. Then of course it could be pointed out that those who are circumcised (or have a glans penis not always completely covered by the foreskin) are less likely to have a dirty penis (in fact, I usually say that an uncovered glans is potentially cleaner than one that stays covered). This is for various reasons. A) Minor formation of smegma. B) Not having the foreskin forces the man to urinate with the glans uncovered and makes it impossible not only for residual urine drops to remain, but at the same time for it to remain too wet. C) The absence of the foreskin means that the male, even the least prone to personal hygiene, during the shower has a cleaning of the glans (albeit indirect due to the water and soap that slides along the whole body). D) The glans always uncovered, also applies to those who keep the foreskin continuously retracted, remains drier and gives off a much less strong odor than a glans completely covered by the skin.
3) As I said above, "Peeing with the glans covered involves theoretically the risk that residual drops of urine remain inside the foreskin. In addition to the possibility that, once the penis is repositioned in underwear, they partially come out and wet the briefs or boxers, this is not very hygienic since it makes it possible to leave the glans too moist and can also feed the production of bad smells".
4) I am aware that many parents do not inform or instruct their son on the usefulness of retracting (at least partially) the skin before peeing. However, a guy could figure this out for himself. That is, we know that women, after having urinated, due to their physical and sexual conformation, must clean and dry their vulva with a piece of toilet paper. This is because the urinary meatus is inside the lips and the latter, regardless of their size or their opening apart during urination, inevitably tend to get wet (and to retain residual urine). In the male the situation is more or less similar, although we can "influence" the mechanism. We have often the urinary meatus, excluding the circumcised, covered by the skin. So if you do not retract that skin, leaving out the splashes or the type of flow resulting, the urine, having to pass through it, could remain minimally inside. Let's not forget that in males, very small drops of residual urine can escape from the meatus even after urination is finished. Coming to the conclusion, there are two alternatives to remedy the problem. A) Urinating with the glans uncovered. B) Urinate with the glans covered, but at least slightly shake the penis, retract and return the foreskin to its original position several times (such as the movement of masturbation, so as to "squeeze" the flaccid penis) and dry the glans with a piece of toilet paper.
