	Boys are born with a [[foreskin]] that is non-retractable for reasons of protection. The inner surface is fused with the [[glans penis]] by a [[synechia]] (similar to a fingernail that is glued to the nail bed of the finger). Also the tip of the [[foreskin]] is too narrow to retract. As a boy gets older, the synechia disintegrates and releases the foreskin and the foreskin gets wider as a boy ages, so the foreskin gradually becomes [[Retraction of the foreskin\|retractable]]. Some boys go through puberty but find that their [[foreskin]] is still too narrow to permit retraction.		Boys are born with a [[foreskin]] that is non-retractable for reasons of protection.

	Beaugé (1997) reported that boys, who [[Masturbation\| masturbate]] by pulling their foreskin away from the body, will not stretch the tight part of the foreskin so non-retractile foreskin will persist. He advised changing the method of [[masturbation]] to the more conventional method of pulling the [[foreskin]] toward the body so that the narrow orifice get stretched.<ref name="beauge1997" />		Beaugé (1997) reported that boys, who [[Masturbation\| masturbate]] by pulling their foreskin away from the body, will not stretch the tight part of the foreskin so non-retractile foreskin will persist.

	A few [[intact]] males will elect to wear their [[foreskin]] permanently retracted for months or years. Later, when they change their mind about the advisability of that practice, they find that their foreskin will not remain in its normal position where it covers and protects the [[glans penis]], because it seems to have become shorter. In such cases, it is necessary to provide traction on the [[foreskin]] to lengthen it to its normal length. The same techniques used by [[circumcised]] men, who are restoring their lost foreskin, works very well in such cases.
