Hey...

I read somewhere recently that a hormonal imbalance can also cause the foreskin to grow longer than usual... I am not uncircumcised, and I had gynecomastia since I was 14. I've also had a longer foreskin than normal ever since I can remember (since before puberty).

I recently realised I also have a conditon called "phimosis", where the foreskin is too tight to retract when erect. The tight part is located in the extra "overhang" and I plan to get it removed as soon as I can locate a surgeon who won't remove *all* my foreskin cos I dont want a full circumcision. Am curious if there is a relation, if other gynecomastia sufferers also have this problem.

We hear all sorts of things, Like what you just wrote.

Some of them are good for a chuckle perhaps, but they have no further use.

So.... what would you say is a 'normal' foreskin length dude?

Define 'Normal'....

Every single human being is different is some way or form. None of us are the same. Therefore.... there is no 'Normal', just the unique individuals that we all are.  ;)

Correct me if I am wrong here.
