Question:

At what Tanner stage for boys can the front foreskin of the penis retract?

Answer:

In uncircumcised boys, the foreskin usually detaches and is retractable before the age of five. In a few boys, this detachment doesn’t take place until puberty when the penis enlarges.

See:

• The skin on my penis doesn’t pull back all the way to release the tip of the penis
• I am unable to fully retract the foreskin while my penis is erect
