A member asked:
Are you supposed to be able to pull your foreskin back past the entire head of the penis?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: Some guys can; some guys can't. If you're one of the guys who can't, and somehow it does end up getting pulled all the way back and you can't replace it, and it's hurting -- you've got a medical emergency -- get to the emergency room. Beyond this -- bodies are variable and there's no "best.".
