Gonzo, it looks about like your as far as coverage.
The age at which you retract your skin seems to determine how much you have as an adult, to a large degree. If a 5 year old boy (for whatever reason) takes it into his head that he wants to pull his foreskin back and keep it there then by the time he reaches adulthood he will end up with a very short foreskin which probably can't ever cover the glans. If a guy never tries to retract his foreskin before the age of say 18 then he will probably be totally covered all the time and may even develop a bad case of phimosis.
I agree with this "theory"...

Shaft skin seems to grow in response to pressure. As a man's penis grows, if his foreskin is permanently retracted, the penis will outgrow the skin and you will effectively have an adult penis with an infant foreskin. If it is tightly anchored to the tip of his penis with a short frenulum and maybe even phimosis then the skin will grow significantly in order to cover the larger area.
I used to regret not retracting my foreskin at a young age. I felt I would have effectively had a circumcised penis but without ever needing surgery and stitches and scarring. In hindsight though I realise that a "natural circumcision" like this would probably always be kinda loose. For a genuinely tight result you would probably still need surgical intervention. The frenulum would probably need to get snipped eventually too, to stop the skin bunching up.

My experience seems to mirror yours as well. I've tried traction from as young as I can remember and after years of efforts well into my 20's. No success. My glans is slightly wider than the shaft and my foreskin was of the thicker variety and in time the foreskin would always overtake the glans and recover.i tried that as a kid to have my penis look like my dad’s (who was cut), but the skin would always go back on the glans. I think you also have to consider the tickness of the skin. In my case, my skin is thick and obeys by its own rules.
Entirely speculative. I used to frequent foreskin retraction forums and this was a commonly held view. I think there were a few guys who said they were retracted from a young age and had very short foreskins so there was some anecdotal evidence. But then you get into chicken/egg territory.Curious statement. Is this from observation, personal experience?

The "short foreskin experience" seems to be the common factor from the few guys I've had contact with that have retracted foreskins as well. I was hoping for a different experience out there TY.
