Foreskin & extenders

As I type this my shiny new extender is hopefully winging its way to me and should be here any day now :)

I’m new to all this and, on reading up on how to use these devices, I read that it’s user choice as to whether or not you clamp with foreskin pulled back or not. I was kind of thinking I’d be a ‘foreskin not pulled back’ person if nothing else for the comfort. In addition, maybe wrongly, I figured with my foreskin left where it is the rest of the skin (covering shaft basically) would have a greater chance of gradually stretching as my penis (hopefully!) increases in size.

However, I’ve been mucking about with my penis doing mock stretches to see what it might be like when the extender is on. What I’m noticing is, with the foreskin left in place, I don’t ‘seem’ to get as good a stretch. Difficult to explain but it’s kind of like the skin on my shaft is restricting the stretch? I have my fingers at the base of the glans where the extender clamp will be. However when I pull my foreskin back (out of the way so to speak) and then pull my penis forward from base of glans, I seem to get a better, maybe even much better stretch.

Obviously I won’t know until I have the device and muck about with it to see what suits me best, however I’m wondering if anyone else experienced this I.e. Thinking you’d leave your foreskin over glans but you ended up having to pull it back for better stretch?
