Stretching the foreskin

I've been asked to share some information about how as uncut guys our foreskin can be stretched to allow for it to mover freely over the head of our penis and down the shaft. Its been a while since we've been through this on the board, so here goes! Its common for uncut guys to have some difficulty with tight foreskins. This will require some patience and some consistency in working with it, but the results are well worth the "work" involved. Its best to take warm/hot soaking baths and gently begin to stretch the foreskin out (away from your penis) then use your finger to open the foreskin more and more. The warm/hot water helps make the skin more pliable. After doing this for a while and making the opening larger, then begin to work the foreskin over the head and down the shaft of your penis, take it easy and work consistently. This may take some time and repeated attempts are necessary. In time you'll begin to notice that it becomes easier and will go farther down with more work. Be careful not to be to agressive or tear the frenulum (that tiny piece of skin just under the head) You'll need to keep the area under your foreskin cleaned on a daily basis, as you're doing this be sure to retract the foreskin as much as you can. This will prevent the buildup of smegma, a naturally occuring substance that helps the foreskin glide over the head. Smegma does have quite the odor but is not a problem when good hygiene and cleaning are part of a daily routine. One other tip, the head of your penis is going to be very sensitive, remember it stays covered most of the time. In time and with more stimulaltion, this sensitivity will lessen. Actually, you'll learn to enjoy the sensitivity you experience there. Each time you pee or masturbate be sure to retract the foreskin as much as you can and this will help with the stretching process. Be patient and let me know if you need more help!

Hey Lance,
I appriciate the help. Just one question though, how do I get rid of the smegma? I've tried turning the shower pressure up but that didn't help, plus I can't remove it with my hands because my penis is very sensitive. Any tips on cleaning would be helpful.
Thanks alot.

I think it's been mentioned before that perhaps putting baby oil on it an letting it "soak in" for a day helps. If that doesn't work, then you'll need to get a wire brush... just kidding.

Baby oil is a good suggestion, it will loosen things up a bit and make removal easier. As to the sensitivity, that too will lessen as time goes by, as you can gently rub and stroke the head of your penis and in time you'll notice it less "painful" or sensitive.

Lance's advice on this subject, as with most other things, worked like a charm.
About a year ago, I couldn't retract my foreskin at all, I follow Lance's techniques, and now I can retract it all the way back when erect.
Thanks Lance

Sensitivity gets less after more stimulation. I'd say that the more you rub it or expose it, the less sensitive it will be. Maybe use a bit of hand cream or some lubrication and gently massage it to work with it some more. Just takes a little time, remember it stays covered!

Be careful not to use too much soap when cleaning under the foreskin as in time this can lead to a skin condition (name escapes me) wear your skin dries out and get's very itchy. Water should be fine on it's own.

I don't think it should smell as long as you practicing good hygiene by washing every day and getting rid of any smegma buildup.

It helps if you have an erection when you are slowly pulling back as this will help stretch it out in circumference.
How long to do it? As long as you can.

How long does it usually take for someone to go from not being able to pull the foreskin back to being able to fully retract it?

This depends alot on the tightness of the foreskin and how consistent you are in working with it. I've heard of some guys having some success in just a couple of weeks, for others it has taken as long as several months. Main thing is be patient, work consistently and do the stretching regularly!

If I can get the foreskin off the head and clean it, etc. that's all good, BUT
1) Is the foreskin supposed to roll back onto the shaft as well? Where is the foreskin "rolling back" limited to how far down the penis...
2) I can get the foreskin rolled up when limp, but if I get hard with my foreskin rolled up it seems to circumvent the flow... and I guess it kinda hurts? So how do you get past that? I don't think I roll it back when I'm hard (like vice-versa). Any input on that?
Thanks.

Your foreskin should be able to be fully retracted all the way down the shaft when erect, or be able to move freely up and down the shaft and over the head. Sounds like you just need to do the stretching stuff and things will be fine. That "pain" and tightness will go away after you've stretched it out some.

okay, i'm a mum with an 'uncut' (as you put it!) son. i'm wondering at what age generally does the foreskin begin to retract, and does this happen naturally or do you need to retract it yourself? i've heard various ages from 7 to 12, and as my boy is 9 i'm wondering if the time is nearing when we will need to know what he needs to do. he thought his foreskin was retracting the other day and showed me, but it wasn't. (in case you're wondering, his dad is cut and i doubt very much talks about these things with him).

I would say that sometime between now and 12 is when he should notice the foreskin becoming "free" and moving over the head of his penis. As soon as that happens he'll need to begin cleaning under there daily as a good hygeine practice. By age 12 if the foreskin isn't retracting, then I'd say he'll need to do some of the exercising to stretch it a bit so that he can clean under there and have movement of the foreskin. I'd suggest that you have this conversation with him soon while he's still willing to talk to you about such things. He needs to understand his "equipment" and how to care for it. Hope this helps!

Lance, when you say "warm, soaking baths," would a couple of minutes immersed in warm water in the tub count? Or do you mean soaking for 10-15 minutes? I've been doing the former, and, from my perspective, it looks to be working.

Longer and warmer the better, helps the foreskin become more "elastic" and easier to stretch. Be patient and keep up the good work!

Well, you probably won't have sucess in just 1 attempt. Push, pull, fold, roll.. they all are pretty much the same. The goal is to expose the head. Lance gave good instructions above so follow them and you should see some results.
To CutBoy86:
The redness of the glans is normal and I'm guessing you're referring to the inner foreskin being kind of sticky when you dry it off?? If so, that is also normal because the inner foreskin is always moist and different from the outer part of the foreskin.

I've been doing your technique to make skin looser, I can see white stuff on the end of my knob, there is a vein (or something) going from the inside of my skin connected to the end of my penis is this normal? I can see alot of white gunk, is there something wrong?

The white "gunk" is probably a build up of smegma, a normal substance that helps the skin move over the head of your penis. You need to clean that out really good by using soap and water, soaking it to loosen it etc. Sometimes if it won't release a bit of baby oil or lotion will help. Once it is all gone, simply retracting the foreskin and cleaning under there on a daily basis will prevent that from happening again.. I suspect that vein you're talking about is the frenulum, located just under the head of your penis it attaches the foreskin and should be there!

Just keep cleaning under there daily. Remember that foreskin has been covering it for a while and with the buildup of smegma that was there it may take a bit for it to "air out" You may try using a bit of hand lotion under the foreskin, that may help with the odor (although you don't want to always do that, it may help speed things up a bit) and just keep washing daily with soap and water.

Conundrum...

Lance, I've been doing your exercises for weeks (a month?) and I've made progress....in the warm water. In the warm water, I can almost fully retract the foreskin beneath the rim.
However, when I'm not in the warm water, I can barely pull the foreskin down halfway over the head. I'm really glad I can clean the head in the tub now...but is there something more I can do to retract the foreskin when not in the tub?
Also, when you say "Work the foreskin down the shaft," do you mean by a little bit? Like to just expose the entire head/rim? Or do you mean work it down inches?
Thanks again for the help.

To expose the entire head. You should be able to pull it down entirely when flaccid but when erect it'll usually just get down behind the head. You should try stretching when you are erect as that will give you maximum stretching in circumference, which is the goal. Just don't go so far that it gets stuck behind the head, as that will trap blood in the head and not let it go down. You're probably not at that point yet.

Hey, i been doing the exercises lance said to do and they seem to have been working. Can nearly pull foreskin right over head now...
However, when i pulled it back slightly further than b4 a few days ago I found out that the foreskin was attached to the head...not behind it or where the frenelum (sp?) is but on top just above the rim and im sure this isnt meant to happen - ne suggestions?

Sounds like you've made some progress but you need to keep working at it. I'd say that when not in the tub you can work with it by using some hand lotion or other lubrication to make the foreskin easier to slide on the head and shaft. You want to work the foreskin down the shaft as far as you can and keep repeating this process. Sure, it may lead to some "excitement" and masturbation and that is OK...just use the foreskin as much as possible, this will help with the stretching. Be patient and consistent in your attempts to stretch things.

Alright, I'm a bit worried. You said that the foreskin is supposed to go down past the head all the way down to the shaft; now here's the problem, I can freely get my foreskin over my head, but from there I can't go down any further because the "underbelly" of my foreskin is connected to the head from a piece of skin which prevents me from travellin' down the shaft.
Anybody know the solution to this problem?
Thanks

As you stretch the foreskin so will that little piece of skin, called the frenulum. Read through this thread and see what you can learn about stretching and if you have other questions please drop me a note.

Im not sure if this will be helpful to anyone, but I recently discovered that the precum I produce with a partner loosens up and lubricates the skin alot more then any lubrication I produce while masterbating. I was quite suprised at the differnce, the foreplay really does make a differnce.

Hey bud, yep...when you pull the foreskin back over the head of your penis you'll be able to see the frenulum. Its a small piece of skin just under the head of your penis, on the underside. It keeps your foreskin in place and for that reason is supposed to be there. As for cleaning, you'll need to retract the foreskin down over the head and using soap/water, clean the head of your penis and the underside of the foreskin. This will prevent the buildup of smegma and generally keep things in good order under there. Hope this helps, let us know if you need anything else!

I got freaked out when I first saw the frenulum, I didn't know what the hell it was. I didn't think it was supposed to be like that, but every uncut guy has one, so don't freak out if you don't know what it is.
