That's old school Greek Dude. If it can be retracted fine, rinse it, but a lot of boys' first experience with foreskin was like frank389's - some ignorant doc yanking it back and making it bleed. This is not good medicine, but I'm sure there's a lot of old school docs out there still doing it; when they can find one that hasn't already been cut off.
Where do you think all the stories about so and so's sister-in-law's cousin's brother just
had to have it done. That was the most common story I heard growing up. It was calculated to make us feel glad that we didn't have foreskins. It's a whole system of being inculcated in believing that foreskin is some infectious disease you should be glad you don't have. How many guys on these threads give that repetitious dismissal? - saying things like nothing could be less important than foreskin - that sort of thing.
You know, what else are you going to believe if you've never had foreskin? - you have no experience of having a normal penis - just what people tell you. And most of them don't have one either. No one really knows what they are talking about, they're just cocksure that they do know what they are talking about. Heaven forbid anyone should speak truthfully, point out that some circs are done very badly, say it matters.
