Foreskin Development for Intact Men

A good information on foreskin development from boys to men. (taken from http://www.circumstitions.com/Care.html)
 
Boys
The foreskin usually detaches itself from the glans and becomes retractable during babyhood and/or boyhood. The best person to discover this and encourage it is the boy himself. As it becomes retractable, the boy should be encouraged to wash underneath it, using mild soap, if any (remember, smegma is Greek for "soap"). Stronger soaps are implicated in balanitis (irritation of the glans), and particular suspicion falls on bubble baths.
Youths
If they have not done so earlier, most intact young men learn to retract their foreskins as part of masturbation.
Men
Some men have foreskins that still do not retract, and they are happy to leave them that way. If you are not (if you want it to retract for intercourse, for example) it can be freed non-surgically using an ointment (betamethasone 0.05% - or 1% hydrocortisone cream, sold over the counter under the trade name "Cortaid" or as a generic or economical store brand - applied once or twice a day to the outside of the foreskin from the tip to about mid-glans for up to eight weeks), or surgically without circumcision. If you are in the US, this means looking for a foreskin-friendly urologist. A Japanese firm, Turumaki Corp., offers a do-it-yourself foreskin stretcher, the "Glansie".
