I have had this same problem for most of my life. This can be a problem if it is unchecked as bacteria and smegma can accumulate under the foreskin and cause problems later on. As long as you can retract enough to keep clean then you will be fine. The medical condition for this is called phimosis if you'd like to look it up.

Hope this helps,

Thanks for the reply. I can pull my foreskin about 1/2 way past the head of my penis while flacced, but not at all while erect. From pictures I've seen, I can only assume it's a mild case of phimosis. Will it help to gradually stretch the foreskin so I can eventually expose frenulum, since this is the most sensitive part of the penis? Seems like I'm missing out during intercourse. (Foreskin doesn't retract at all while erect or during intercourse.)

I have never been able to fully retract and I have always had enjoyable intercourse. I am worried about phimosis because cleaning for me is very uncomfortable and I'm worried that I have let it go on for too long.

Use a cream to soften the foreskin and a lot of patience and see if in a few weeks you can fully retract the foreskin. If not then you should probably see a Dr. And they do not always have to remove the foreskin to fix this! Often the skin can be snipped and stitched to give it some ease or just the tight bit can be cut. Good Luck!
