Foreskin during the shower: retracted or not ?

[Wei]

Mines back all time so definitely back in shower, and usually after

That sounds way cool, but I can't do that! So do you leave it skinned right back when you wear boxers/briefs? Don't want to get too personal, but doesn't it hurt your cock-head if it's rubbing against them the whole time? For me, I need the "sleeve" of my foreskin protecting my cock-head (except when pissing/in the shower), otherwise it hurts like hell! I also do that to keep it moist and self-lubed. Doesn't it get too dry if it's skinned back all the time?

I leave it in its normal position most of the time. I have kept it back but usually the frenulum doesn't like it after a while.

Yes, I think this is normal for most guys. Personally I don't have a problem tho - I can skin it way back cos mine's very "flexible", hehe. I think you can stretch the frenulum over time, tho I don't need to do it myself. One good reason is that you can fully unsheath your "inner foreskin", which is highly pleasurable. Due to a more flexible frenulum, mine opens out and slides back all the way from my corona (ridge) to the base of my cock. It's awesome!

I have stretched the frenulum probably as much as itll go on me. its cool tho.

Referring to the data emerging from the survey, beyond the predictable large majority of men who retract the foreskin only during the shower (about 78%) and leave the glans uncovered for a short time (more than 54%), it can be noted two interesting results. In fact, against all my expectations:

A) Nearly 22% of respondents say they retract the foreskin before the shower starts. Personally I believed that this habit was much less common.
B) Over 45% of respondents said they leave the foreskin retracted (and therefore the glans uncovered) until at least the end of the shower. Evidently, although I thought the opposite, it is quite common not to immediately cover the glans after washing it.

I take advantage of it to mention the data from another poll like this one (but done on a different website). Among other things, the results are all in all similar:

1) Regarding the "moment of retraction" of the foreskin, the vast majority (66%) do it during the shower, while the minority (34%) do it before starting.
2) A small difference, compared to what is written above, there is about the "retraction duration" of the foreskin. In fact, according to this further survey, 51% leave the glans uncovered for longer (i.e. at least until the end of the shower), while 49% cover it immediately after washing it.

Perhaps a non "data" observation:
I gew up in a roughly 50/50 (but cut had majority probably more 60/40) area, and I noticed that in locker rooms showers, uncut guys would either not touch, or quickly retract wash and put it back in order to not look cut.
When I was in tourist areas, especially in uncut areas, I notcied europeans left retraxted for muchj longer period (sometimes all the way to when they got dressed) as they didn't feel any need to protect that "uncut" status.

A year ago, a group of students from France got into showers (4 of them so they took one Bradley pole).. I knew they were french before they spoke because they wore DIM underwear (not afailable in Québec anymore). To my surprise, as one dropped undies, he had bare glans. The others were very uncut.
It didn't take long for the bare glans guy to push his foreskin forward. It covered maybe 2/3 of glans but every time I peeked, it covered less and less, and probably within 2-3 minutes, it was back to fully retracted. I found it interesting that he felt the need to send the subtle message to his buddies that he wasn't cut, but that his foreskin stayed back,

I update the data resulting from the survey:

A) Men who retract the foreskin only during the shower- 80.9%;
B) Men who retract the foreskin before starting the shower- 19.1%

C) Men who leave the glans uncovered for a short time- 60.3%;
D) Men who leave the the glans uncovered until at least the end of the shower- 39.7%;

It is clear that, privately, it is uncommon to retract the foreskin before starting the shower, but all in all, the habit of not immediately covering the glans immediately after washing it is quite widespread. If we only considered men who retract their foreskin while showering, this figure would drop to 30%.

When i shower i keep my glans exposed as much as possible to get clean.

Uncover when I wash it

I retract during the shower and keep it that way until I dry beneath the foreskin after the shower. The I pull my foreskin back over my glans.

before my circ I allways retract my foreskin in the changingroom. It goes back by itself after clothing.
