I m male and i m 15. everyone has been saying that the foreskin has to be retracted manually at a small age. However i was unaware of this and i have always imagined that the foreskin retracts naturally and independently. Im a uncircumcised male and i know i don t want to be circumcised. My question is, Does the foreskin naturally retract by its self? Or do you have to pull it over your gland?
Hello ! The Foreskin does not retract by itself. In some cases the foreskin maybe very tight and adherent to the penis whereby it obstructs free flow of urine, this condition is called Mitosis. In this case circumcision is advice as it may lead to infections. It is advice generally that all uncircumcised males should retract the Foreskin and wash it gently with warm water but not soap as a white Cheesy material called Sega collects between the groove of the penis and foreskin. This Sega sometimes gives rise to unpleasant odor so its advice to wash once in a while.
