A member asked:
When the penis enlarges, is it normal for the foreskin to retract ? i have never had this until the last couple of years and has been such a worry
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Normal.: Boys usually are born with a non-retractile foreskin. The foreskin gradually becomes retractable over a variable period of time ranging from birth to 18 years or more. There is no “right” age for the foreskin to become retractable, and in some men, it never does. Either way, nothing to worry about.
