Not circumcised. (High risk, premature birth)

CI-9 would probably be most accurate. I definitely have a frenulum. No chafing when masturbating for the vast majority of the time, although lube is never a bad thing.

This is a survey really, @Pecan_nutjob asked for the topic name to be changed too.

CL-9

Flacid the glans is fully covered

Erect the tip of the glans just peeks out

Frenulum self destructed shortly after marriage due to lack of sex-ed when young. Never heard about need for lubrication and it tore several times. That is probably the best thing that has happened because being able to retract the foreskin all the way back so tight that my glans became shiny and dry rubbing the whole thing like that was heavenly.

I desensitized my glans in my 20s. I knew cut guys were not sensitive at all from playing with each other's penis's in pre teen years. They liked/wanted me to rub hard on their dry glans when masturbating each other while I couldn't stand having my glans touched.

To desensitize it I cleaned and dried it using rubbing alcohol then I was able to rub it gently with soft flannel moving up to bare fingers on the dry bare glans. Very gently at first and increasing the pressure as much as I could. After a few months I was able to masturbate with my foreskin held back tight and dry rubbing the shaft and glans. Dry rubbing the glans felt so good I have never gone back to rolling the foreskin up and down. I often considered having it removed but that is a major operation on an adult and I could never find any doctor in my area who seemed knowledgeable or willing.

As far as the dry rubbing to masturbate went I did get chafing sometimes at first and had to be careful how hard and how much/often but after a year or so that was no longer a problem. I tried to find a way to hold the foreskin back but nothing worked. I had to put an elastic around it to hold it at the base with another one around my waist which wrapped around my balls and up the crack of my ass. That held the foreskin back so that my glans and inner shaft skin stayed exposed which felt very nice rubbing against my clothing but the elastic around the base of my shaft would hurt after a couple days and it hurt like hell taking it off.

After all these years I can rub the glans between my thumb and fingers just as hard as the cut boys wanted when we were kids but with no longer being able to get an erection it's no where near as much fun as it used to be. It still feels good playing with it and being able to rub all over the dry glans and in the groove. I have been able to desensitize the opening flaps to the urethra so I can rub across that opening now.

CI-10. Full overhang no matter what.

Flaccid:

CI-9 foreskin overhangs the end of the glans

Erect:

CI-7 foreskin covers the corona and some of the glans

I am not circumcised but I had a synechiotomy and several preputial dilatations in prepuberal age to overcome my phimosis. Prepuce is distended and loose, frenulum is completely intact and elastic.

Mine is 90% open and 100% open in erection. uncut.

In a hair accessories section, you can find thick cloth-like elastic rings that girls/ladies wear to put around pigtails or pony tails. They come in all kinds of sizes (and colors). For me it was just a question of finding which size worked best to keep the foreskin retracted. The best were a bit more in diameter than a large finger. I would wear two that fit into the sulcus, just behind the corona.

These cheap little things can keep a foreskin retracted for weeks at a time without slipping off.

I would want the whole inner shaft skin, sulcus and glans bared to be in contact with my clothing at all times. How far is the retraction?

CI-9. My foreskin is baggy when flaccid and snug when erect. The opening is is not tight and my glans can be exposed freely. My Frenulum tore in my late teens after unlubricated sex. I massturbate without lubricant. I dont suffer chaffing unless I masturbate for more than an hour.

CI-1. High and Tight. Still have frenulum. No chafing however spit or lube is nice to use for masturbation. Nothing needed for sexual intercourse.

The glans is completely bare and will end up desensitized because it is exposed to rubbing against clothes. The sulcus will be covered by the elastic hair ring because that is where the ring is placed.

Uncircumcised.

C 1 - 7 when flaccid

C 1 - 9 when erect

Circumcised low and loose CI-3, neonatal free hand cut, frenulum retained. no problem with chafing if you go with a light touch.

Uncircumcised

C1-6 flaccid

CI- 4/5 when erect

Circumcised. At birth (just in case of problems etc)

Soft C3, Hard C4. High and loose

Fren all there (as high circumcision scar is just after fren ends)

Chafing if I jerk off dry a lot.

What's interesting is that some circumcised males, such as Kiwibloke, seem to have quite a bit of skin remaining, while some uncircumcised males seem to have short foreskins (or perhaps they had a little snip they don't remember). Lots of variety! And the position of the scar varies a lot in circumcised males. Which probably explains why some circumcised males complain about chafing or other issues, and some don't.

Soft C7 Hard C6 Circ.at birth

Fren - Still have complete

Lube - None usually

@smoothdude You seem very much covered for a circumcised dude!!!

True but I have the scar to prove it. Age also has more than a little to do with it. Aging is not kind to the body.

@smoothdude Interesting… so in some cases circumcision at birth is just a little snip of the tip! I guess it depends on method and other factors.

Uncircumcised

Flaccid CI-9

Erected CI-9

I guess, based on those pictures that I have a longer than usual foreskin. I'm very much a grower, so when flaccid there is a fair amount of skin that extends beyond the glans. When I become erect the foreskin fills out, but it still covers the glans. My foreskin slides back and forth easily. So as far as the sexual aspect of it is concerned, here in the USA most men are circumcised, and I've found that quite a few of the women I've been with found it interesting to play with, of course I had no objection to their expressing their curiosity in this way.

I have posted a set of photos of my foreskin being retracted. In the first one my play partner has already pulled the foreskin back just a little so that the meatus is visible. Normally, even when erect like in the picture the meatus is still just covered.

Circumcised at birth for cultural reasons

CI2 flaccid and erect

high and loose

and there’s definitely chaffing that happens without lube

Flaccid and erect CI-3 - I'd say

High and tight. As I understand it.

Yes, I would say… but not as pronounced as some.

No problems with chafing.

Done as an infant to be like others/family. Most were, then, here.

I'm uncircumcised and when both flaccid and erect I'm usually somewhere between CI-10 and CI-9. My foreskin retracts easily, but when erect and released if fairly quickly returns to cover my glans.

Uncircumcised

Flaccid CI-10

Erect CI-9, sometimes CI-10

Definitely cut, I do chafe and TLC required after.

All good.

When flaccid, how does your skin cover your glans? https://www.restoringforeskin.org/coverage-index/CI-chart.htm left column

CI-3

when erect, ow does your skin cover your glans? https://www.restoringforeskin.org/coverage-index/CI-chart.htm right column

CI-3

if circumcised, how do you compare to the 4 drawings at the top of https://en.zity.biz/index.php?mx=gallery;ox=showalbum;ax=8677 (high+tight, low+tight, low+tight, low+loose)

High+Loose

if circumcised, why and what age were you when surgery was done?

Personal reasons - 42

do you still have your frenulum?

Sort of, it was partially removed

if masturbating without lubricant, do you experience chafing?

Nope!

Uncircumcised

Flaccid and erect: both between CI-9 and CI-10

My foreskin is very wide (I massively stretched it in my teen years, before it was kind of tight). I don't really experience chafing, but when masturbating without lubricant, once having pulled back, while pushing it up again my foreskin sort of rolls inside itself / furls.

My frenulum is a bit short and has been tearing a little bit twice some years ago, but is still intact.
