Pulled back foreskin for the first time at 21 /u/TA_for_foreskin_post Sex

TL/DR: I pulled my foreskin back for the first time at 21, and found it pretty clean already. I have slight pain/discomfort when fully erect, but was able to ejaculate when pulled back. I’ve listed questions I have at the end of the post.

I (21M) am a virgin and only recently found out that you should be able to pull your foreskin back over your glans while reading throw this subreddit. I was never taught about pulling it back and cleaning it (except for a 2nd grade teacher who tried to once, but the class started laughing, so she stopped, and I forgot about it). It was also only through this subreddit that I learned phimosis is a think.

I had never pulled my foreskin back before this. Whenever I had touched the glans at the very tip, it would twitch (due to not being used to contact), which made me think I should not do that. I remember when I was very young (5 I think), a couple times I put handsoap on my dick because I liked the feeling when it touched my glans, but I’ve done nothing like that since (so I haven’t touched my glans since then, and never pulled my foreskins back more than a few millimeters, until recently).

So I decided to work on it slowly. I started by pulling it back while flaccid when showering. The glans was very sensitive to touch, since it had never been touched before, but over time I was able to keep a finger on it for longer. I did not notice anything dirty and nothing smelled off (I have seen posts that when people pulled it back for the first time, it was smelly and had smegma I think?). I cleaned it with body wash, and do so everyday now. I would pull it further each day, until one day it just kinda popped over the glans completely. It wasn’t painful, everything looked fine, and the foreskin would stay back until I pushed it back up.

It was a lot harder to pull it back when erect. But one day I was able to. To my surprise, the foreskin turned upside down as it popped beneath my glans. this was a little uncomfortable, but not painful, unless I was 100% erect and turned on, then it hurt a little (it felt like a balloon being squeezed a little).

I have only ever masterbated by using two finger at specific spots on my foreskin, and making tiny motions (I was insecure about this as in porn or when people are gesturing, they seem to always be using full hand on the shaft to masterbate). So I tried masterbating with my foreskin pulled down completely. I didn’t have lube so I couldn’t be touching the glans, since it is dry and has too much friction with fingers. So I jerked off my shaft, or put two fingers at the frenulum. I tried masterbating like this three times (twice in the shower, came close but gave up as it was taking almost an hour). I was able to ejaculate once, despite the slight discomfort around the frenulum when I got too erect. Since then I’ve gone back to masterbating without pulling my foreskin pulled back since it is easier, more comfortable and more pleasurable.

The whole process from pulling it back for the first time to pulling it completely and masterbating was only two weeks.

I know this topic has been discussed before, but I have some specific questions still unanswered so I am making this post (and throw away account).

I mainly have these questions:

Since I haven’t heard of someone pulling the foreskin back for the first time at such age and not finding smegma/uncleanliness, am I missing something? Is the slight discomfort/pain when fully pulled back and fully erect expected/normal, or is that something that might be a problem? If so, what should I do? If I have sex, do I pull the foreskin back before wearing a condom, or not? I have heard differing answers on this? (I’ve never used a condom before, but am thinking of buying some to try/test by myself) Any other general advice regarding something I may have missed/not thought of, or just questions you have.
