ORCABOMBER: It's amazing really, when you come to think of it, how men can know so damn little about their own bodies!

Vigilante: I believe it is the parent's faults. They don't explain to their children about sexuality until it's way too late, I was taught about it since I was born and I'm well off because of it. I wasn't circumsized and I'm proud of it. I believe only blind, automaton parents get their kids circumsized. If it wasn't for the fact that you can't grow back your foreskin by believing in god, I'd think it was the mark of the beast, at least the male mark of the beast, maybe it's different for girls. Anyways I loathe parents who are so selfish they won't tell their kids about sexuality and their bodies, Plus, it's your parents faults that you have foreskin problems, your supposed to retract every time you go to the bathroom, OR AT LEAST everytime you take a bath/shower. In nature humans would clean themselves their too, eliminating foreskin trouble.

The 'cleanliness' excuse would only make sense if you were the type of person who, upon hearing that a whole day's work could be completed with the push of a button, says "Oh, man, I have to push a button?" Sadly, many Americans are that lazy.

namodomok: I agree with you totally, Vigilante. I just visited a friend whose little boy (4) was always itching his dick. Then his mother complains that she can't get him to aim in the toilet bowl. I realized he was spurting in all directions when he peed because he wasn't taught to retract his foreskin....it had nothing to do with his aim. He was also itching because his mother wasn't washing behind his foreskin, and when I brought it up she said, "I'm not touching that!" I was there for four days, and my kid( a girl) and her boy were bathing together. She never once retracted the foreskin on her son to wash it. She's a very intelligent woman, her husband is uncircumcised, but she had a problem touching her own son at 4 years old. I mentioned ithis to the boy's father who said he had repeatedly told her she must retract the skin when she bathes the boy, but she thinks it's some form of molestation. I just couldn't believe how stupid she was. My mother had drilled it into me since I was a boy, and I was lectured about what would happen if I didn't wash properly. I'm so glad she did it.

In this case, it's up to the father to notify the boy's pediatrician so the doctor may instruct the mother how to care for her son properly.

I think it is time the father got in there and looked after business.
If the father told the mother that it was necessary to retract and wash and she isnt I dont think the doctor's advice will make a hell of a lot of difference.
The father should be swift enoug to take over the wash duty to make sure the itching etc stops and nothing worse develops. Time is a wasting!!!!!

namodomok: Pecker and Kurios have raised some very good points, but unfortunately the father works 12-14 hr days, and the kids are in bed(and washed) by the time he gets home. He does wash duty on the weekends when he's home, but a whole week of not retracting the foreskin could end in trouble. It's just sad all around.

Vigilante: The itching is probably caused by an overload of smegma...what you can't retract you can't clean. In nature boys have instinct to touch their penis...therefore they wouldn't have such trouble...but parents (especially THOSE catholics) tend to agree that masturbation and or touching themselves is bad...Amazing what we sacrifice for religion, I'm surprised the catholic church hasn't sacrificed god from their agenda yet...People believe in the church not god

hung: An American Boy here responding. I was born many years ago and my parents left me normal or natural or uncut as we like to say. I never had a retraction problem. I was never instructed on keeping my penis clean. I can really state that I was always fascinated with my penis. I peeled it back just to see the thing pop out. Once I discovered self pleasuring I usually gave my penis and the foreskin a brisk daily work out. No body had to tell me about keeping it clean. I figured it out all by my self. I did enjoy and also like my body from a very early age.

Well I'm also an uncut American, born in 1956. As the only uncut member of my family, the parents didn't know what to do with it, so they did nothing. I was never given any guidance about how to care for a foreskin, but I never had any trouble from it.

I was a late retracter -- my foreskin was quite firmly attached to my glans, I equate it to the way your fingernail is attached to the quick, until I was about 9 or 10. Until then, I never saw my glans, not even the tip of it. I didn't really understand how the whole foreskin system was supposed to work until pre-pubescent spontaneous morning erections caused me to start "coming out."

I don't know if things would have been any better or any worse if earlier retraction had been attempted. I suspect worse. Forcing it back, or trying to clean it, might have led to the sorts of irritations, infections, itching, and smells that would have led to medical intervention.

I'd say Protestants are worse, if only because they can't tell the difference between original, venial, and mortal sin.

Catholics' worst problem was some Renaissance-era theories about heredity: Basiclaly, Renaissance doctors thought that sperm were fully-formed individuals, and that inside the testicles of those fully-formed individuals were more fully-formed individuals, much like certain Russian dolls. Basically, development was to cast off 'illusory' forms.

I know exactly what you mean...but isn't that the beauty of this forum? Where else can you go to get advice without being ridiculed? Society makes our sexuality so forbidden, that we know more about how to hold and shoot a gun, than we do about our own bodies. (Yeah..I know..there's a few jokes just waiting to be born in that last sentence about holding and shooting your gun!!!)[/quote]
i have a friend who has a very thick dick, his head is much bigget than the shaft. but when he gets hard it curves upward to his stomach and the head is totally exposed. it looks like a big plum looking out and it is very veiny. it is such a turn on for me. i am bigger than he is and it really gets him going. he is about five feet seven and i am six feet one. my dick is about 11" x 6.5 and his is about 8"x6". when he shoots his load it shoots so hard and so far. man do i miss him

LoveGirl: I think this topic needs to stay close to the front of the line, just like the old 'Which do you prefer - Cut/uncut' forum, even though it isn't in the front of the line. Maybe I should post in it :unsure:

AnonSP: Hi, new here. Sorry the name is a bit poor, couldn't think of a decent one.

I'm gonna have to look into this tonight, but I don't think my foreskin retracts fully when I'm erect either. Kind of worrying. Especially since I have found sex with my girlfriend (never had this problem before, just this one) quite painful, it just hurts trying to penetrate, I think it could be becuase the foreskin is moving back. Once I'm in and it's well lubricated I think it's fine. So it could well be a lubrication problem. I'll end up sore after sex.

In fact, I think I actually have friction burn (looks like a scar) down one side of my shaft. I've had that for a while though. A photo might help?

Well i had this trouble too when i was a child and a teen
At the puberty the head started to grow first (the head was over 7.5" around and the shaft only 5" around).

My father and the physician asked to do some exercices in order to stretch the 4skin.

It was painfull at first, i had to soften it with some cream / lube (with vitamine E) in order to hydrate the skin.

At first the head was difficult to pull out even when i was half hard.

The physician told me i had to pratice it every time i could... In a few months i was able to pull the 4skin down even hard

My father and the doctor gave me the choice :
getting circumcized ...
or stretching the 4skin by daily exercices

I'm glad i've choose the exercices drills ... even if it was painfull at first , it was the most enjoyable ... and it is how i've discovered masturbation

( for seen some pics of it when i was a teen and how the monster is now : check my home page BigCKhead's pics

or in the pic below taken around the age of 13/14

I think we'll all agree: Stretching it's more fun than cutting it off. :) Well, there is one subculture which fetishizes circumcision, but they're a bunch of pedophiles, so they don't count.

Currently, every medical association around the world says circumcision has no real medical benefits, so you can file it under quote-unquote "alternative" health or cosmetic surgery; it's your choice.

The doctor was called in my case as well (when a sudden increase in length and especially in glans size at the start of puberty made foreskin retraction very difficult). Stretching and lotions were prescribed as the first course of action ... eventually things righted themselves one night with a little tear (and a lot of blood :eek: ). I know if that hadn't happened I would have lost it; I'm glad I didn't.

I've had the same problem - i solved it by going to the doctor and have a small operation, not a circumcision, to untighten the skin. it worked great and you can't see anything's been done. It was extremely embarrassing to go to the doctor (i was 16 and very selfconscious about my size among other things) and it hurt like hell for a week after but i worked and i doubt very much that any stretching would have helped me.
