Is It Normal To Have The Glans Always Uncovered Despite Being Uncircumcised ?

I am a 22 years old uncircumcised boy and for as long as I can remember (perhaps since I was about 10-11 years old) I have always had the foreskin withdrawn and positioned at the base of the glans. Therefore, whether with flaccid penis or when it is erect, my glans is exposed. I specify that it has never been a problem: presenting this anatomical peculiarity since the end of childhood, sensitivity is now reduced to an acceptable level.

However, over time I realized that hardly anyone, among the uncircumcised, has continuously discovered the glans. My penis has pretty much always been like this, but in the locker room no one else is in my situation (i.e. everyone has the foreskin covering the glans). Even my girlfriend initially asked me if I was circumcised (a practice that is not very common where we live).

Precisely for this reason I decided to write this "message", with the hope of eliminating any doubts. Is it okay and normal to have the foreskin that remains behind the glans leaving it, consequently, always uncovered ?

Most guys foreskins naturally just cover the penis even if you pull it back, it goes back. You would only have a problem if the foreskin is stuck behind the head and you can't get it to cover the head, the foreskin should grow naturally when your penis grew but it may not have done if you had it retracted from that age. Having the glans permanently exposed will make it like a circumcised guy.
If it causes you no problems then it's your own business how you keep it.

Yeah if it’s not causing problems don’t worry. If the skin is too tight then it can be painful, can you pull it back over the head easily when both soft and hard? Usually I hear the opposite that people can’t retract their foreskin but I guess could always happen the other way. Are you sure you’re uncut? Haha

As the guys before have said, it's uncommon but not unusual. As long as you don't have any discomfort then you've nothing to be concerned about. It's perhaps just the combination of a shorter than usual foreskin and a larger glans, that is able to hold the foreskin back.

If you need any reassurance, then take a look at Billy Strummer (www.twitter.com/bstrummer11). His foreskin is permanently retracted but he is able to push it up over the glans when masturbating

I agree it is not common but I have seen a few in my lifetime who are uncircumcised and started having retracted foreskins around your age.These were male relatives. Unfortunately, I didn't inherit those genetic physical traits, was a bit envious that they were able to and for all my efforts I couldn't stay retracted on a permanent basis like they were. I was never able to ask or figure how it happened to them so naturally. You offer some insight. :)

A friend of mine art school had the same thing: as he matured, his glans increased in size and forced his slightly short and very loose foreskin back. (Yes, we all used to play show-and-tell in the changing rooms!) By the time he was about 15 it was permanently retracted, and has never come forward again.

I prefer to keep mine covered. Pulling it back too far or for too long starts to hurt.

If the foreskin is always open, the glans is brighter, because a creatine layer forms, which also provides for a further desensitization, which may also mean a stimulus and loss of feeling. Therefore, I keep my foreskin closed and open it only for masturbation, urinating and washing. I would never let myself be circumcised because one can masturbate with pre-excellence.

It is perfectly normal. It means healthy foreskin which became retractible early in life and your penis just grow out of it instead of stretching unretractible foreksin wioth every childhood erection.

Look for "Naturally Circumcised Men" on youtube. In China it is aparently about 23% of men who end up with retracted foreisin as adults.
Note that if you are born this way, it is called aphostia and is often associated with hypospadias. But if you grew out of it during childhood, it is perfectly natural/normal.

found some research on incidence is penile disease and it has statis on foreksin length.

Basically, 22% have retracted foreskin.
18% have it covering between none and half.
24% between half and full
35% covering all of glans and more.

Now, these used to be stats I saw as a teenager when researching whether my long foreisin was normal or not, at time where there was no Internet Porn and Playgirl showed only cut males with a token uncut now and then.

Today, locker rooms here are chockfull of uncut guys since they stopped circa 1980 here. And thsoe stats are no longr really valid. I'd say 70% have full coverage, and 30$ of shorter foreskins, and not that many have truly permanently retracted ones. (you can se guys retract in shower, but you know that it isn't its normal setting).

There would be a lot to write. According to various surveys and studies on the subject, about 20% (this is an average estimate) of uncircumcised men have a short foreskin. This means that these men always have the glans (at least) partially uncovered. Wanting to be more precise, or at least trying to be, we could say that about 15% have the glans partially exposed and the remaining 5% completely uncovered. For this reason it would be more correct to state, and fortunately some books write it, that in uncircumcised boys, when the penis is flaccid, the glans is in most cases fully or partially covered by the foreskin. Among other things we can read on Wikipedia: "typically, the glans is completely or partially covered by the foreskin in humans". We should get out of the rhetoric that uncircumcised necessarily means having the glans completely covered by the foreskin.

Staying on the numbers, this means that, if we compare this percentage on the total of men (i.e. not considering only those who still have a foreskin), this figure drops slightly above 10%. So in the world we have, more or less, 65% of uncircumcised males and 35% circumcised. Or as an alternative we could state: 55% of males have a foreskin covering the entire glans penis, 35% are circumcised and the remaining 10% have a short foreskin and the glans never entirely covered.

Before getting cut I used to keep mine retracted constantly. On occasion it would slip back forwards because of the cold or while exercising. I would either manually pull it back or if I got a bit of wind in him it would retract on its own and stay there once soft again. My foreskin was never super long but it did cover my head fully until my late teens, when a combination of pulling it back and teaching it that position and also my cock still growing, it became permanent.
For me I loved the look and feeling that much, and after some issues with tightening after sex I decided to get cut. I have photos of before and after cut to highlight this if anyone is interested.

I used to have problems in my early teens with a tight foreskin. Looking back in hindsight I should have probably sought advice and been cut. But circumcision in the Uk then, as now, was not as prevalent as it seems to be in the US. Eventually in my late teens I had a tear during some particularly energetic sex with a girlfriend. Despite the initial panic and embarrassment, once I healed my problem seemed to be solved and now my foreskin remains back most of the time, hard or soft.
