Have you ever tried keeping your foreskin permanently retracted?

As a boy, after discovering that my foreskin was retractable I instantly became addicted to the sensation of the bare glans. I was constantly pulling the skin back and spending as much time as I could like that. I tried using rubber bands overnight to keep retracted (a VERY bad idea since that cuts off circulation) and tape (another bad idea, since the edge of the tape was sharp enough to cause chaffing and small cuts) and was always ending up with a swollen foreskin after a few hours. I finally accepted defeat but the drive to free my knob wasn't extinguished and a few years later I was able to get a circumcision from a urologist. I now know there are methods that are safer to achieve permanent retraction and I almost wish I could have another run at it but I'm sure I still would have ended up getting cut anyway. My question to members is: have you ever tried permanent retraction? How did it go?

I've used hair bands or whatever they are called. You can find them in the female cosmetic section usually. Essentially they are rubber bands with a sort of cloth weaving around them which also expands and contracts. This makes them much wider than a rubber band and also soft on the skin. The large sizes are for holding a ponytail in place, but there are many smaller sizes as well.

They come in all sizes and colors and it may take buying several sizes to see which fits best.

I've found they can be worn for days on end without discomfort, but you do need to change them every few days because of urine spillage. It can build up depending on your habits. One ring is often not enough to keep the foreskin retracted. Two hair bands work better when worn just under the corona.

Aside from the hair bands, you can also purchase metal frenulum rings, but these do not expand or contract with the condition of the penis. Buy too small and they hurt with an erection, even partial. Buy too large, even with a small margin, and they can/will fall off and slide down the leg of your trousers at the most inopportune moment. Or fall off if you're wearing nothing. That said, I have seen these frenulum rings worn at nudist beaches, a place I would not expect.

If you ever order any such ring, don't confuse it with a penis ring, which is worn at the base and over both penis and upper scrotal sac and therefore larger in diameter. These don't come loose very easily compared to a frenulum ring, which is worn just under the corona.

Not me, but my oldest son. He is at the age of curiosity and questions. And he asked me what it feels like to be circumcised, in other words of course. And after explaining it to him, I gave him the option of being able to keep his foreskin retracted, so he could experience it a little. And so that curiosity passes.

I tried to keep my foreskin back for some time, but my short frenulum would often pull it back forward or make it uncomofrtable after a while. The exposed glans itself wasn't as uncomfortable as I had expected, honestly I started to like the feeling. Interestingly, after keeping the foreskin back for a few hours, it felt rather strange to cover the glans again.

I have done this several times. Once the glans dries (taking a few minutes) its very smooth to the touch. Unfortunately, my glans is very sensitive and this is not something I can prolong as I become aroused very quickly. It was always an afternoon thing while my parents were out.
