A member asked:
Can you tell me when your penis returns to be flaccid, the glans should cover itself again automatically or manually?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes or not ...: The length and diameter of foreskin, either uncircumcised or circumcised, widely vary among men so the foreskin may or may not fully cover the glans, even not at all. Generally speaking, it is highly advised to reduce (pull done) the foreskin to its natural covering after its becoming flaccid and being cleaned so to prevent paraphimosis for tight foreskin.
