Having to retract forseskin to stay healthy is just a myth?!


Question: Having to retract forseskin to stay healthy is just a myth?
I'm 15 and not circumcised I never knew people retracted their foreskin, maybe it's because my whole family is from
Europe. Is retracting foreskin just something they do in north America?

Answers:

No, it should be retracted daily and washed with warm water to keep it clean and avoid getting an infection.



The reason it became popular not to circumcise in Europe is because they did not have the know-how at the time. When circumcision became a subject-matter, it was in reference to Nazi Germany where the only way to tell someone was jewish was to check their penis for circumcision, and this went on throughout Europe, no wonder men were afraid of circumcision, it was a sure death sentence.

Circumcised penis is easier to keep clean. Ability to retract the foreskin fosters the healthy washing of the part under the gland that will get dirty with spent sperm and pee. Please wash well.

The reasons go well beyond that elucidated above. But this is not the time nor the place.



Some people also get a little intervention specially when their foreskin is very developed. It gets more easy for the normal erection, and also allows a better cleansing. It may decrease a tiny bit the physical sensation.

Circumcision may be a good option in some people, and not needed in other. It is nevertheless useful for most people.

I remember a doctor suggested it to my brother, when he married
