A member asked:
Cant retract foreskin with erect penis although it can be done when flaccid, so can i first retract my foreskin and then make the penis erect ?

Yes, you may...: yes, you may try, but there is still no guaranty that the whole glans penis will be fully exposed if the length of foreskin is longer than erected penis can expose. However, the opening of foreskin is small enough to become a tight constricting ring, which may potentially develop a so-called paraphimosis; so, if occurring, always pull the foreskin down to return its shape at flaccidity so to avoid
