Ok, im 14 and i am uncircumsised (and am only just starting puberty). I read recently that you have to pull your foreskin back when you are urinating. Have i been doing it wrong all my life or is it not nessasary? Thanks for your help :-)

yes you should to help keep urine from getting trapped in the foreskin make. this will keep it cleaner and keep the odor and infections down. make sure you shake it good to get all of the excess off before replacing the foreskin. you might even what to clean it with toilet paper first. you also might want to check into circumcision if it it not against your religious beliefs. usually circumcised guys are cleanser and have less infection. it will be painful for awhile if you do it but worth it

Yes, you should pull it back for urinating. But no, you haven't been doing it wrong all your life. Young boys' penises have foreskins that don't pull back. Some loosen up very young, while some do not become retractible until puberty is complete. Chances are you didn't pull it back when you were younger because it wasn't ready to be pulled back. But now that it's loose enough, it is much more hygienic to keep urine from getting trapped under the foreskin and causing irritation and stink.

No, it's not necessary to pull your foreskin back when urinating, but it is more hygienic. By pulling your foreskin back you will minimize the amount of urine that remains under the foreskin, reducing offensive smells and smegma.
But, if you're not planning to have sex (oral or vaginal) that same day, it doesn't really matter as long as you remember to pull it back and wash it during your shower/bath once a day. More than that, it's largely personal preference.

"Yes” You should always pull back your foreskin when urinating.
If you don't you’ll invite Infection to your penis and will cause some nasty penis pains around the head and as a boy/guy you should know that anything pain to the penis is very painful.
If you don't pull it back when urinating your urine will flow in acquired positions and even urinate on yourself by mistake and you know you don’t want that to happen.
I learned the hard way... :)
You should always clean under your foreskin when bathing or showering with soap and water.
So Be Clean and be Safe!
I hope this helps…

What about when you have to defacate and little drops of urin sometimes come out then? Do you pull back your foreskin when you are doing no 2s as well?

if you dont pull it back all the way you trap urine in there on the head of your penis under the foreskin and if you dont pull it back to wash really well daily you are inviting some real nasty problems.

Yes,you have to pull it back.It's easier to shake the last drips off so that they don't get trapped under the skin.It's no big deal to do it,you don't want those drips to be showing through your jeans whatever.
