Penis retracts into foreskin

O.k... This is  completely a new thing that I am having happen more each day that may seem harmless, however, is somewhat disconcerting, and uncomfortable. My penis, during  the day, seems to have a new game. The game I think, would be called "Hide and Seek", as it (several times a day) will retract into the foreskin around it. It is somewhat like a turtle hiding it's head from danger... And, no, I haven't been abusing my turtle...  :-) I have gained a little weight this past year, but I was wanting to see if weight gain would be out of the ordinary, and not so plausible an idea, and that some other sort of cause might be more common; thus a more likely cause. Trust me, I would love to hear it is just the weight! (i.e.: Answer: + Lbs. = This: Common) If it is not common, and I am fooling me, which I do to me sometimes... (Again) " :-) "... then, I would be so great full for any other insightful ideas, or experiences to help me with: Why? It is by the way, not painful, however, is uncomfortable. (Especially when I am noticed; in the market for instance, dancing around with my hand in my pocket while apparently scolding myself under my breath).

If you would... Please.
and, Thank you!

The reason for this is not apparent to me from what you describe except for what you said, that is, weight gain (gut gain).  If you haven't had a checkup in a year or so, you could schedule a visit with your doctor and mention this issue.
