How far is the foreskin supposed to retract when erect?!
Question: Yes....I asked this earlier. But I only got a few answers. I have plenty of points, so I'll just ask again.
Anyway, I ask this because some people said that the foreskin needs to retract fully back when erect. Regarding me, I can kind of pull it back when erect. It goes back very easily and painlessly when flaccid, but when it's erect...that's slightly different. It goes back, but only about halfway until it starts putting resistance and begins to hurt.
I'm not sure if age has to do with this, but I'm 15, turning 16 in 3 weeks. I heard that the younger you are, the less flexible the foreskin is. So anyway...does my foreskin need to retract ALL the way behind the head when erect? I also ask this because during sex, some people said you need to have it retracted...but I'm not sure how the foreskin can retract behind the head...because...not to sound weird, but it's kinda big...and uh...well, for me, anyway...so...yeah, that's it.
Serious answers only, please.

Sounds perfectly normal. Some mens foreskins go back all the way when erect, some go back part of the way, and some only a little. It's all right, as long you are able to wash it and keep it clean when flaccid. I wouldn't worry about it at all unless it hurts.
Actually, the older you are the less flexible your skin is. So if you want it to go all the way back when erect, take a few hot baths and some oil, and stretch it gently and within a few weeks you should be in better shape.
It normally goes all the way behind the head and a little bit further. Your foreskin is probably a little bit tight, just keep stretching it back when you're hard and it should go over the whole head after a while. During sex it does slide back and forth. I guess if it couldn't go behind the head it would just slide as far as it could go but when the guy is going in and out that could potentially be painful if he pushes hard and it forces the foreskin back.
Yeah it's supposed to retract all the way, mine slides easily back and forth when I'm hard. Mine used to be tight but I stretched it in the shower and it got looser with time, your still growing so it can be normal. Call your doc if its painful, they have creams for that and can help you stretch. Some guys retract all the way and it stays back when the head is big.
well every body is diffrent. I had a bf whos skin would not go back at all, it was do to an accident when he was a child he had it surgery to have the for skin removed. you should be able to pull the forskin back no matter what size your peinis is.
You should be able to retract your foreskin fully, to expose the groove behind the head and this is essential for satisfactory sex. If this is difficult when you are erect, then your foreskin is too tight and you should be circumcised. In any case, it is much better to be circumcised - better for hygiene, health, comfort, appearance, self-esteem and FAR better for sex!. Your mother should had this done for you when you were a baby, but it's never too late - get circumcised now!
