I'd classify myself a CI-7 flaccid and a CI-9 erect .

There seem to be more long foreskins here than what I perceive to be the average - though this is very subjective of course - and I wonder if this sort of poll doesn't attract people at the extremes. Is it more likely that someone with a long foreskin - a C1 9 or a CI 10 - will be more willing to reply than someone with an average length, who thinks 'why bother?'

My impression after many years of observing as closely as I can decently is that the average is between CI 7 and CI 8, but there are more men with longer foreskins than there are with shorter.

There also seems to more variation in the one individual with a short foreskin than with long ones, but it may be that it is just easier to notice. I
work out with a man who is anything between CI 4 and CI 6 in the shower, and quite often CI 3 with the foreskin pulled back behind the rim.

This is really interesting, but I find some of the outlying results quite difficult to understand. According to the poll there are three cut guys who have as much foreskin or more than I do at CI-7 and uncut. Were these partial circumcisions later in life to relieve a phimosis I wonder? Otherwise it makes you wonder if they left that much skin whether there was any point in circumcising at all.

UC when soft I have the appearance of a CI-3 but I have more skin along the lines of a CI-4 but its distributed along the entire shaft as opposed to just below the head so I just don't get any coverage. when erect I am along the lines of a CI-3, again with even loose skin distribution along the shaft.

This poll is showing that in reality most uncut guys are far tighter than most uncut guys in porn. Is the porn industry deliberately excluding tight uncut guys?

Perhaps I understand wrong, but I think there is a difference for uncircumcised men between a short foreskin and a tight foreskin, and you can have one without the other. My foreskin is short - doesn't cover much more than the rim (and I'm interested to see that there are quite a few others in the same case), but the skin in very loose, so I can't keep it back behind the rim for very long.

Keep in mind Jake that some men don't know their real status. That is why studies that rely on self-reporting have some built-in error, including this one. If you click on the numbers in the poll, you can see the usernames of those who voted. In the Restored or In-Process Restoring category CI-9, we currently have four voters. Three without galleries, but the fourth, rich1980uk, I find difficult to believe that he is not intact from birth. (Please correct me if I am in error rich1980uk). Either he doesn't understand the categories or misread the poll or something.

I've been restoring for a very long time. I started with nothing, and now about CI-5. For me the look is not the same as a man who is intact from birth. The preputial closure is destroyed by circumcision, so it has the opposite effect of that Ionto just described. I have a fair amount of skin for glide, so sex and masturbation work better--haven't used lube for years, but the damn thing's default position is back rather than forward. It stays forward easily if I wear some kind of form fitting underwear--don't have to be tight. Boxerbriefs work well. But when I'm nude it still often rolls back to expose my glans. My glans is kind of largish--probably why. So I am still working on full unassisted all season coverage. For those restoring, KOT. It works--sooner or later.
