It's common to have questions and concerns about your body, especially before becoming sexually active. Based on your description, a tight foreskin (a condition called phimosis) or thin skin may sometimes cause discomfort during intercourse, but it doesn't always lead to significant problems. Many individuals experience manageable situations with proper care.
Next Steps
Itâs important to consult a healthcare professional, preferably a urologist, who can examine you and determine if any medical intervention is necessary. Simple treatments like topical creams or gentle stretching exercises might help if the foreskin is tight. In rare cases, minor procedures like circumcision or preputioplasty may be suggested.
Health Tips
Maintain good hygiene to avoid irritation or infections, especially under the foreskin. Avoid forcefully retracting the foreskin, as it can cause tears or discomfort. Practice open communication with future partners to ensure comfort and understanding during intimacy.

Hi...The answer is simple: No it doesn't.
The foreskin doesn't completely inverts if the male is a virgin with no history of masturbation or physical Intercourse. Nightfalls can occur in such cases.
But the issue is why this thing has taken a primacy at this age. If you are planning to get married or get physical with your partner you can talk to your partner about your reservations and it does bring a level of openness and comfort between the couple.
Physical intimacy or sexual closeness takes time to develop. It doesn't happen the way it is shown in films or porn. It usually take weeks or months for couples to understand each other's sexual preferences, likes & dislikes, and in feeling comfortable to completely share their mind and body with eachother and start enjoying the newly formed intimacy/ closeness.
Next Steps
Consult a Psychologist or Sexologist for Psycho-sexual Guidance and Counselling.
Consult a Urologist to clarify your doubts about reproductive health issues (penis skin, foreskin, etc.)
