Hal8053: >Uncircumcised but with foreskin more or less semipermanently in position of circumcised male as you are which would yield: 1. the ease of better hygiene with foreskin mostly retracted, 2. reduced risk of causing cervical cancer (maybe this would not happen unless that nice fold of skin is completely excised??), 3. but for vanity reasons the reduction of the liver red color of uncut and covered glans to more neutral skin color would be desirable to me and 4. enlargement of corona >(hopefully) which reputedly creates greater sexual stimulation in female partner and at least to me would seem to be more rugged looking and with enhanced size would be better eye candy for the sexual partner. One of the correspondents in the circumcision group referred to this enlargement of the corona ridge as the helmeting effect of the penis I believe.
Your points are exactly why quite a number of men in varied parts of the world have done and are doing this. It is common in some cultural groups. Some American Indian tribes did this. The Japanese are said to. Someone has estimated that from 1900 to 1930 in the US about 20% of men did so. Then came the adoption of widespread, non religious infant circumcision, which didn't leave a foreskin position choice.
One of the largest advantages to this practice is that moisture is not trapped between the skin and the glans which is cleaner, less disease harboring. Disease is also less likekely to be spread to a partner. In fact some diseases that can occur are almost limited to the uncircumcised in occurrence.
With either circumcision or permanent retraction the glans may widen a bit and will have much better contact with vaginal surfaces than with a foreskin that moves forward on the outstroke preventing direct contact with the vagina.
The olympics were held nude but any man with an uncovered glans was barred- because that was too sexy!
> That is why I would like comments of others about methods that can without the mummified look of gauze kept there for weeks or months can keep that pesky skin mostly retracted until like this fellow it will stay there on its own until you choose to shield the glans and yank it forward.
In some cases the "training period" can be quite short. At age 12 it took me about 10 days to become "convertible" and stay in either position. I would guess early age helped. Obviously length of foreskin and looseness, etc. is a factor. It has been suggested that it helps to make a definite folding back of the foreskin on itself. Some guys have used a block of foam with a hole in it, cock rings, "o" rings
Most important would be to put the foreskin behind the glans again as soon after it slips forward as possible.
Something to watch for is to get the foreskin back forward if it swells much when first kept behind the glans choking off blood supply. Massage the blood out of the head and bring skin forward. This is not often a problem and only at first attempts. It is actually of some benefit to work ones way through this to reduce the risk of this happening to you if you are in an assisted care facility and someone catherizes you and doesn't move the skin forward and you have not trained out of the possibilty of paraphimosis.
Wearing it bare can make you feel more manly, turns on partners, and it is way cleaner.
