Should Circumcision Be Necessary If I M Able To Retract The Foreskin Completely ?

Hi, so I m 15 and I was experimenting in the shower a few nights ago. I was able to retract my foreskin completely considering how I am not circumcised. I kept it retracted through the Night and all of today, is this okay? What is your opinion on this method?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. If you are able to retract your foreskin completely, you need not go for circumcision. Retraction of foreskin is required for easy movement of penis inside the vagina and to keep the head of the penis neat and cleann always. Covered skin may be cause of growth of micro organisms and possible infection. Non retractable penis can cause severe pain while intercourse. In your case, you do not have to go for the surgery.

You can post direct sexology questions to me on this website. Include all details.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
