I have always been able to retract my foreskin as long as I can remember and so have my children, We have never been shy to encourage gently loosening this part of the anatomy in our family, however normally there seems to be no hard and fast rule and for some this does not happen until they are well into their teens. This would be especialy prevalent in situations where boys are made to feel bad about handling their genitalia.

What could happen if a boy's penile foreskin is forced back too early?
The foreskin of an uncircumsized newborn should NEVER be pulled back; it is a myth and it is dangerous to do this. It should never be forced back by a parent, no matter what the reason the parent has. Keep your hands off of it. Tissues of the glans penis and of the covering foreskin are not yet differentiated, and the foreskin should be left alone. Some physicians consider that an unretracted foreskin can be normal and non-problematic even as late as puberty. Yes, there can be problems with the foreskin, but pathological phimosis (a medically problematic unretractable foreskin) is virtually NEVER a competent diagnosis at birth.AnswerThe foreskin does not retract at birth. Forcing it back at this age can cause tearing and scarring meaning it will be difficult to retract in the future.
what age should I be to get my glans out of the foreskin?
You can do that really at any age above the age of four-- You just cant be in a dry state
What if your foreskin stops at the opening of your tip of your penis and it never used to before?
If you are of an age that you are still growing, it may be as simple as your penis has grown a bit and the foreskin didn't. Just as every penis is different, the length of foreskin is also.
At which age does the penis skin rolles completely back?

Can your 2year old son get a circumcised?
No. A tight foreskin is normal for 2 year olds. Usually the foreskin can not be retracted until at least 4 years of age. There is no need to wash under the foreskin until the boy can comfortably pull back his foreskin himself. Parents should never try to force back the foreskin, as this can cause injury to the penis and scaring, making it hard for the foreskin to retract when the boy is older. If phimosis persists for older boys, teenagers, or adults, it can be treated with a corticosteroid cream (betamethasone 0.05%, available by prescription) and gentle gradual stretching. This fixes phimosis in 90% of cases. Only if this doesn't work would circumcision even be considered.
Is it must that foreskin should not attatch to penis when age goes?
No the removal of the foreskin is an ancient religious or tribal custom that has no good reason to be done. as a matter of fact it is a harmful practice.
What age will you notice you have phimosis?
Firstly, you shouldn't worry about having a tight foreskin (Phimosis) because there is always something that can be done to help and alleviate the condition. You may need to visit your GP for advice or referral to a Urologist for consultation and/or treatment if by the time you are an adult the skin is still tight and non-retractable. 95% of males can retract their foreskin by adulthood.Boys foreskins are fused to the glans at birth and do not retract until somewhere between the ages of 5-years-old and the teenage years, It varies. There should be no pressure put upon any boy to forcefully retract the skin as this can cause damage to the foreskin with stretching or splitting the skin thus causing scarring, and be dangerous if the foreskin was to get stuck behind the glans (Paraphimosis), this then causing a medical emergency ! If there is scarring on the foreskin it can make it harder to retract, if at all.Phimosis can be treated either by yourself or with medical assistance:By gentle stretching of the skin, with or without the use of a topical steroid cream prescribed by your GP.By changing masturbation habits and techniques. Try a different method to see if you can gently pull the foreskin back and forth when erect.Preputioplasty; which is minor plastic surgery to make a small slit cut into the tight ring on the foreskin making it wider to retract over the glans. There is always a risk that this simple surgery turns the cut into scarring as it heals which then reduces the width, and maybe causing phimosis to return again.Circumcision; which is to remove the foreskin completely and the more radical and severe of treatments. Most males can manage to function fully sexually though without the need for circumcision, even without the foreskin being able to fully retract.
Is it safe to remove foreskin on a 45 year old man?
Circumcision can be done at ANY age safely.
When does your penis skin pull back?
Well many people believe that if i doesnt come back at an early age they have to be circumsized ( 12-14) if you are that age then just wait a while until you have hit puberty then it should come back. However if it is stiff and wont come back and your above about 15 then you may want to consult a doctor
Will it hurt to get uncircomsized at a older age?
You can't get uncircumcised if you have been circumcised as circumcision is the amputation of the prepuce or foreskin of the penis. You can sometimes re-establish a semblance of a foreskin with special stretching exercises over a long period of tom but it can not be restored to its former form or sensitivity.
Is puberty embarrassing?
I do not think you have anything to worry about. If you were asking these questions at age of 18 or 20 years, then I could understand your concerns. Just give yourself a few years and you should be ok. As for the foreskin not retracting, you know, it is so silly to think that you have to do things to hurt yourself or to be like somebody else. Just because someone says you have to retract your foreskin why do you think you have to do it? The reasoning is not correct that if a foreskin isn't retractable it can cause problems with cleaning and sex, and if it doesn't retract it's not functioning properly. There actually are millions of men in the world at any one time, myself included, who do not retract their foreskin. I have a number of current patients in a similar condition and have, in the past, treated men in Europe, Asia and other countries with the condition of tight foreskin. Not one that I have personally met and not one that I have ever read about has a problem with cleaning. Nor do they have problems with masturbation or sex. And I have to join with them in saying that it is ridiculous to suggest that our penises are not functioning properly. Your penis and your foreskin are a unique team. They work together almost always in perfect harmony. Some guys have a foreskin that retracts, so they retract it. Some guys have a foreskin that does not retract, so they leave it alone. Some guys have had their foreskin removed and no longer have a choice. If you are watching videos, then the guys are probably porn stars and they do so much drugs and other stuff that their sexuality is no longer normal in any case. I would not worry about them. If your foreskin does not easily retract, do not try to force it to. It does not have to. You do not have to pull the foreskin back to put a condom on, to masturbate, or to have sex. It is an absolute nonsense to think so. Only fools will tell you this is necessary. Some people label a tight foreskin as phimosis. Generally people with a tight foreskin do not have phimosis, they just have a tight foreskin. There are millions of guys in the world with this condition which is quite normal. The only abnormal thing is when you try to stretch a foreskin that does not need to be stretched or try to use medications that rarely have any beneficial result. The unfortunate thing is that retraction has been taught, mainly in USA, because personal hygiene was not taught. Washing a penis with the foreskin covered (not retracted) is very easily achieved and very efficient. Any boy or man can be shown how to do it if they are having a problem. The same goes for masturbation or sex. Many will argue that it is much more effective and it certainly feels great. I cant compare it to an open foreskin, because I have never done it that way. Just leave your foreskin as it was intended to be. Anything you do to yourself that hurts is normally not a good thing to do, so don't do it.
