    UPDATE: ok, Anon answered and the theory several of you mentioned is correct. Anon is actually a girl, and she apparently thought foreskins can be peeled back all the way to the base of the penis. How she discovered this may be too horrible to contemplate though. I really hope she didn’t try to do that to some poor guy

    Fake news. That’s how guys shed their skin. Pull foreskin down to the base of the penis, stretch it enough to step out with one leg and then the other, then pull it up over your head (the one on your shoulders, not the one on your dick) and off your hands/fingers. Shedding process complete.

      It does suck that it constantly grows and you’ve got to trim it like fingernails though.

        TFW you keep forgetting to buy foreskin shears so you just chew it off and leave it with a jagged edge

        Have you never shed even once? I hear that late shedders find the first shedding quite painful. Might be worth looking into a dermatologist to help or consult.

      I’m honestly not sure. This was the entire post and as of now there are no comments or replies. I’m afraid to ask because I feel like the answer will only raise further questions. It may remain a mystery forever

      Edit: I went ahead and asked anyway. I will update if there is any response

        The foreskin is the loose part of the skin covering the tip of the penis. It is the part that is cut during circumcision. However, the loose bit of skin actually attaches a bit behind the tip, not at the base of the penis. Think of a circumcised penis. That ring of skin just shy of the tip is where the foreskin used to attach.

        Attempting to retract the foreskin to the base of the penis is painful, not entirely possible, and with enough force with tear.

        This is a joke implying that someone tried to retract it to the base.

      I assume they mean down to the base of the penis. It only goes down past the glans (head) of the penis.

      I went ahead and made the dangerous Google search to find a good source for you. This page has a pretty clear diagram (so, uh, NSFW I guess): See https://coloradonocirc.org/foreskin/

      Key quotes:

      The foreskin, or prepuce, is a retractable, double-sided fold of skin and mucosal tissue that covers the glans, or head, of the penis.

      The outside of the foreskin is like the skin on the shaft of the penis but the inner foreskin is mucosal membrane like the inside of the eyelid or the mouth.

      The penile skin (including the foreskin) is free to move over the penile shaft because the double-sided nature of the foreskin makes the penile skin system considerably longer than the penile shaft and also because the penile skin is only connected to the underlying structures at the pelvis and at the base of the glans (at the sulcus).

      This page is not as clear on this specific topic but is much more helpful for general foreskin-related health information: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23175-foreskin#additional-common-questions
