Some questions about uncircumcised penises... Can you answer?

I've never been with an uncircumcised guy, but see a ton of questions about it on GAG. I'm single and was curious, in case my next boyfriend isn't circumcised. I knew the premise of it, of course, but looked up some pics to try to learn more. Can anyone answer my questions, please? 1. Does the foreskin not usually retract from the head when it's erect? I previously thought it did, but in most of the pics it was over it. On that note, can you still feel the "ridge" of the head during sex or is it covered up so you can't? 2. Some of the pics looked "wetter" than I was used to seeing. Are uncircumcised guys wetter or is it just a bunch of precum because I was basically looking at porn? 3. What do uncircumcised guys do when they pee? Does the urine get under the foreskin? 4. Does it really taste/smell as differently as I've heard? 5. Can you hurt the foreskin easily? Sorry to be ignorant, I just don't know anything and may need to know on the future.

  • I'm uncircumcised, so I feel more or less qualified to answer your questions.
    1. Usually, but not always; this totally depends on the individual. My foreskin usually retracts by itself when I get an erection, but sometimes a small part stays on the head. It stays retracted when I pull it back myself (but only as long as I have an erection). I believe this is how it works for most guys, but I can't be sure.
    I've never had sex, so I can't answer the second part of your question.
    2. It is probably less dry than in circumcised men, but it isn't really wet either, or at least it shouldn't be.
    3. I hope all men pull the skin back like I do, at least partially. I pull it all the way back, there is no way urine can get behind the foreskin.
    4. I can smell an unpleasant odour if I ejaculate and don't wash my penis afterwards with soap and water (tissues don't help here, some of the semen always stays trapped under the skin). It's really not that hard to keep that area clean, so if it smells badly, he's doing something wrong.
    5. Some men have a very tight foreskin, which is a medical condition called phimosis and it has to be treated. It's not very common, but not completely rare either. Unless you run into someone who suffers from this condition and hasn't been treated yet, there is virtually no chance of damaging the foreskin.

    • Thanks for sharing your experiences. Very helpful!

  • 1- the foreskin usually stays over the head even when hard (my case). But if its healthy you should easily be able to slide it back and forth. And yes you still fell the ridge of the head in sex. The foreskin is super thin - like a latex glove lol.

    2- The foreskin keeps the head moist and humid so yes it is naturally wetter. Because of this the glans is rather darker and shinny instead of dry and pale such as in cut males

    3-when we pee, we pull back the foreskin so its as clean as a cut guy. Only difference is when we are done shaking it, the foreskin goes back to protect the head and keep it covered

    4- it can yes - but if he showers regularly and before sex, there should not be a problem

    5- depends. From my experience, dry sex can easily cause a rub burn, but actual penetrative sex and bj, the foreskin is super resiliant. Very hard to harm and rough sex is very doable

    Hope this helps!!

    Cheers

  • I've only been with uncircumcised but I promise you can still feel the ridge. Even when the foreskin isn't retracted (best not to pull it straight down. Build up a bit and slowly work it back, it teases and stops pulling on the banjo string) I can feel it and trace it with my tongue. When it is pulled back it gets a fair way below the glans.

    Can't comment on taste/smell as I've not got the comparison but I've not had any problems with it being unpleasant. That's really a personal hygiene thing and I expect even circumcised will get unpleasant if not washed.

    My boyfriend says it's not really sensitive. He even lets me nibble it and says it's no more sensitive that his ear lobe - it's what it's attached to. Pulling it back too hard will hurt the banjo string (think of the bit that connects your tongue to the bottom of your mouth - it's like that but connects the foreskin to the glans). Don't be afraid of it. You won't even notice once you're busy.

    • Yeah, there is a spot on circumcised guys there that is sensitive too, so I get what you mean. Thanks for answering!

  • Haha I found out my ex was uncircumcised after we broke up and I was with him for 2.5 years! I never saw him when he wasn't hard. He actually made fun of me for weeks after I asked. His response (hope not TMI): "you were face to face with it several times a week how could you NOT KNOW? 😂😂"

    Well let me tell you, health class didn't prepare me for it haha. The head is visible when erect. It looks like a circumcised penis, just a little extra skin toward the base. It can be pulled back when urinating. Just as with people who have extra folds of skin, I'd pay special attention when cleaning as bacteria CAN be trapped, but no different smell or taste 😳

    • Thanks for answering. How far does the skin roll back? I wonder why almost every pic I saw on google have all the foreskin over the head? Is that a porn category or something? Haha!

    • Google is a world of funny images haha. Well, he and I still close and I was curious so I actually DID get to see it roll back. I felt like a child because when it happened I shouted "oh wow! Cool!!!" Hm... needless to say he didn't stay erext after that comment. You can definitely FEEL the extra skin on the shaft/base of penis if it's erext and you're stroking it. It doesn't just disappear or sink into the belly area or anything creepy like that. His entire shaft was visible and the skin was a little, just a LITTLE extra at the bottom. If I reached the base and stroked upward, the skin would move up as well. It sounds odd, but it really isn't! I learned something that day ha.

    • Gotcha. The that sounds fairly similar then. Thanks for sharing.

  • 1. Not always, not most times. One has to either pull it back or it goes back by itself during intercourse
    1.1. The head is always exposed during intercourse as the foreskin slides back. The head glans are shaped in a way (that I'm sure you've noticed) that the foreskin stays below the head - nature thinks of everything that's required for it to survive :)
    2. Advantage of the uncircumcised penis is that the foreskin continues to lubricate the penis thus easier for intercourse compared to a circumcised one - nature thinks of everything (again)
    3. It's recommended that one pull the foreskin back while urinating else the foreskin will send the pee in an uncontrollable shower in all directions
    3.1. Yes the urine gets under the foreskin which is why every time one urinates, , they should wash up well
    4. If an uncircumcised penis isn't washed regularly and properly it can taste and smell really bad because of the urine and smegma accumulated there
    4.1. One reason why the practice of circumcision was started especially in countries with scarcity of water
    5. Yes the foreskin is a sensitive one and can be cut easily even during intercourse

    Nothing ignorant about the questions. Everyone has something or the other to learn through their lifetime. I'm sure you can give advice to people on topics they are ignorant about :)

    • Thank you for your answers :)

    • Thank you for the up vote young lady :) while the pleasure of answering is all and always will be mine :)

  • I will answer all your questions if you message me. There will be fights about this and I am unwilling to get into them. I apologize

    • Why fights? Everyone seems civil & helpful so far?

    • I see you have gotten all your answers that you need from other people. I hope you enjoy all your answers. See you didn't need me. No fights no problems. Everybody's happy.

  • When an uncircumcised guy gets erect the foreskin does draw back from the tip. It was most likely Pre cum that made it glossy looking. When urinating a clean guy will draw the foreskin back for hygiene purposes. If personal hygein is done properly , I doubt the taste or smell is any different. And for the last question, yes the foreskin can in fact be damaged if it is drawn to far back. It can in fact be torn loose. It hurts like a sob to

    • Oh man, that sounds horrible! Did that happen to you?

    • It did early on in life. It was much like manual circumcision. It was excruciating , and it took a couple of months to heal. This usually happens in younger guys that may... Shall we say get a little more over zealous during sex

    • Yikes! I'm sorry you had to go through that!

  • 1. It usually does, but it depends on the guy. It'll either pull back by itself or you pull it back but it's not exactly gross or difficult :P It still feels the same, I think.

    2. Usually uncircumcised does get wetter than circumcised, but it could just be a variation in how much pre-cum the man himself produces.

    3. They just pull back the foreskin. If not, I guess the pee can get under it and that's bad in terms of smell but also in terms of infections and rashes and stuff, so no one does that :P

    4. Hmm... I've only been with the one guy and he's not circumcised, so I can't exactly compare, but there's no problem with the way he tastes or smells. As long as the guy cleans, it's going to be fine, same as with a circumcised guy.

    5. Yeah, it can get hurt. It can be cut or ripped or pulled back too far and then it'll hurt.

    • Thanks for sharing! :)

  • 1. It usually retracts to just behind the head, If the guys has a "Semi- boner" it might be partially covered.
    2. The skin can keep more moisture around the head. If the guy is fully aroused, you might be seeing some Pre-cum lube coating the head.
    3. you just pee, the skin self-drains when it hangs?
    4. I'm straight so I would know first hand, but yes they do smell more, due to the skin holding the sweat/etc.
    5. It slides on the shaft, so not really unless you bite it.

    • What does "the skin self drains" mean?

    • If there is an small amount of liquid in the skin folds when the penis is hanging, gravity will cause it to drain... like holding a bottle upside down to shake out the few drops left inside.

    • Doesn't that make your underwear wet?

  • 1. It depends on the guy.

    You still can feel it through the foreskin, but keep in mind that foreskin can easily be pulled back and/or 'forward' (over the head). That also happend during sex due to the friction. So, even if the head is still covered by foreskin, if he sticks it in you it will be 'pushed back'.

    2. Appearently dicks dry out after being circumcised, so uncut dicks are 'wetter'.

    3. We just pull the foreskin back.

    4. I've no idea. xD

    5. Depends on what you do with it, I guess. Well, it's sensitive. I don't know if that helps though.

    • Thank you for answering. Does yours stay in the place you pull it? Or does it revert back to one place or another? If you don't mind answering something so personal, of course.

    • If I pull it back, it stays there. If I pull it over the head, it rolls back again by itself.

    • Thanks for sharing.

  • 1) the foreskin is supposed to retract on its own when erect, exposing the whole head.

    2) foreskin lubricates the penis, making it easier when sex, reducing that dryness, which is better for the girl.

    3) we pull back the skin, no pee stays in the foreskin.

    4) it doesn't smell or taste different, if the guy is clean, it's the same.

    5) you can't hurt the foreskin, you can hurt him if you pull back too hard, but you'll know when to stop.

    • Thank you for sharing! :)

  • Im uncircumcised so can answer accurately (at least my experience)

    1. Mine doesn't retract when erect, though I have no problem pulling it back.

    2. This may because the head has been protected via the foreskin and not constantly rubbing on clothing so it looks more shiny, or it's just precum

    3. No it doesn't get under it, never had a problem like that

    4. I don't know but washing it takes 10 seconds so there's no excuse.

    5. This has never been a problem for me, in some guys it doesn't pull back easily and in others their frenulum is tight when its pulled back and can occasionally tear which I believe is very painful.

    • 1. "On that note, can you still feel the "ridge" of the head during sex or is it covered up so you can't?" Although its covered when erect, it always retracts for sex as it's pushed back when going inside and I pull it back manually for oral

    • Thanks for answering. :)

  • I'm circumcised, but in answer to your questions.
    1. Does the foreskin not usually retract from the head when it's erect? YES when fully erect

    On that note, can you still feel the "ridge" of the head during sex or is it covered up so you can't? I have no personal knowledge, but it seems logical that you could.

    2. Some of the pics looked "wetter" than I was used to seeing. Are uncircumcised guys wetter or is it just a bunch of precum because I was basically looking at porn? The head is wetter because it's covered much of the time

    3. What do uncircumcised guys do when they pee? Does the urine get under the foreskin? They retract the foreskin by pulling it back. Hopefully urine doesn't get there (or stay there if it does).

    4. Does it really taste/smell as differently as I've heard? Again, no personal knowledge, but women have told me that circumcized is cleaner.

    5. Can you hurt the foreskin easily? It's fairly tough, but I wouldn't recommend hanging pictures from it. In toughness I would say its say it's four times thicker than your eyelid, which is not the toughest thing in the world, but protects your eye quite nicely.

    • Thanks for answering.

    • I've heard that some uncircumcised men are tender when their partner retracts the foreskin, which is done simply by grabbing the head and associated skin and sliding it back. I have also hear that uncircumcised men orgasm more quickly due to increased sensitivity. Also some men are not as clean about themselves as they should be.

  • 1. Depends on the guy. Some it might stay up, or partially come back. You can still feel the ridge (by which I think you mean the bottom of the glans where it meets the shaft). Some guys have a more pronounced 'ridge' than others.

    2. Porn, probably.

    3. Foreskin can affect how you pee so you can pull it back a bit if you like. Usually the only effect is not unlike putting your thumb over your garden hose when you water the grass.

    4. No idea, I can only infer that an uncut guy who doesn't keep himself clean might be prone to smelling more strongly.

    5. Nope. It's soft but tough and stretchy skin. By design it's meant to roll up and down a LOT during sexual activity.

    *However*, you do need to be aware of the frenulum, which is a small strip of skin that connects the back of the glans to the foreskin. On some guys this might be tighter or shorter than usual and that can mean pulling the foreskin down to far or hard can hurt. Do it way too hard and the frenulum can tear.

    • Thank you for sharing :)

  • 1. Usually, but not always.

    1.2 During Sex the foreskin moves backwards and functions partly as creating less friction, but generally leaves the head open and free.

    2. There is an oily skin over the penis head as well as the skin being more sensitive due to being protected. Imagine your clitoris being without clitoral hood and how it would constantly rub against your clothes, etc -> It would grow a thicker skin, desensitize and dry out as there is no skin wrapped around keeping the oily film inside.

    3. You just pull it back.

    4. It probably tastes slightly more - but it's not because unhygienic. Washing is super easy for someone who is intact.

    5. Yes and no. It is indeed quite sensitive but so is the entire penis. If you dont intent to hurt it, its quite unlikely that you will

    • Thank you for sharing. :)

    • @Asker You are welcome. Feel free to ask anything else, if you want to know more.

  • 1. Does the foreskin not usually retract from the head when it's erect? I previously thought it did, but in most of the pics it was over it. Answer: Yes it does..

    On that note, can you still feel the "ridge" of the head during sex or is it covered up so you can't?

    2. Some of the pics looked "wetter" than I was used to seeing. Are uncircumcised guys wetter or is it just a bunch of precum because I was basically looking at porn? you were just looking at porn

    3. What do uncircumcised guys do when they pee? Does the urine get under the foreskin? No lol.. it comes out naturally.. depends the guy

    4. Does it really taste/smell as differently as I've heard? I am not a woman... so I can't say.. but I thoroughly clean myself vigorously.. no one wants an area that smells

    5. Can you hurt the foreskin easily? Not unless you try too

  • Feel free to pm me I will answer anything you want

  • 1. Does the foreskin not usually retract from the head when it's erect? I previously thought it did, but in most of the pics it was over it.

    its depend upon the length of foreskin, mostly foreskin is just hide the half head so its easily over the head when erect, while some have long skin so it has to pull back even in erect.

    On that note, can you still feel the "ridge" of the head during sex or is it covered up so you can't?
    yes pussy can feel the ridge but like in cut once its 100% in uncut foreskin comes out in between sometime so it be bit less than cut.

    2. Some of the pics looked "wetter" than I was used to seeing. Are uncircumcised guys wetter or is it just a bunch of precum because I was basically looking at porn?

    they are same but uncut store the precum under the foreskin so it looks more wetter and cut one drop out precum. every cock is different in terms of releasing pore cum.

    3. What do uncircumcised guys do when they pee? Does the urine get under the foreskin?
    its personal choice or habit, they can pull back if they want or they do without pull, so if they won't pull out it has chance to be remain few drops of pee under foreskin.

    4. Does it really taste/smell as differently as I've heard?
    yes! just because it store precum under the skin, so it has chance to taste or smell different but not sure it should.

    5. Can you hurt the foreskin easily?
    No! its enough strong but its so sensitive.

    Enjoy cock! if its uncut play the pull back game and have fun, if cut enjoy the big mushroom head and get ready to slam with it.

    • Thanks for answering.

    • I hope it helps. i am on for any answer if you want.

  • Can you send me massage. I want talk about uncircumcised penis

  • My Penis is uncircumcised and tight foreskin. When ı was Pee ı am pull back foreskin. When it was erect pull it back extra skin.

    • Thank you for sharing :)

    • Do you like uncircumcised Penis? Very pleasure with make sex. Your boyfriend is uncircumcised or circumcised

    • I don't know yet. Most men are circumcised in my area so I have never had an uncircumcised boyfriend. I'd imagine it would be about the same, probably. :).


  • 1. It depends on the guy, some have foreskins that retract when they get hard, others (like me) can have enough skin to cover their entire head when fully erect. both are quite normal.

    2. I wouldn't say that it is wetter per say, but precum is a natural lubricant to help slid the foreskin over the head of the penis.

    3. I do both. its just a bit of a hassle for me because when I'm flaccid I have quite a bit of extra skin and it takes 2 or 3 pulls to get it over the head. As for hygiene it doesn't really matter as long as you pull the skin back and do a quick wash every time you shower.

    4. Not really sure how to answer this one, but if you do cum regularly and not clean the skin, then a odor may develop. but that is easily solved by good hygiene.

    5. If its just a simple up and down motion it shouldn't hurt, unless he has a tight foreskin. but generally the foreskin can be gently tugged and pulled and be totally fine.

    Hope this helps to shed some light on things :)

    • Thank you for your detailed answers. 😊

  • Mines uncut and I've never had issues. Makes sex better I think

    • It's a penis. Works just like a cut one. Just a cut one has less sensation

  • You are such a caring girl!
