You're right Big, I had to approach my dad, and then he finaly explained. He would always that we need to clean ourselves but never got specific with the foreskin. And when I finally did, I remember the pain was so bad that I had to get him, it was a little embarrasing. Now it's ok and I clean properly, the only issue I have is that i don't keep it retracted all the time.

Sometimes parents can be stubborn!!
