==Adult foreskin==
===Should the foreskin retract automatically when the penis becomes erect?===
The answer to this question depends on the relative length of the [[foreskin]] in relation to the length of the [[penis]]. If the foreskin is shorter than the erect penis, then it will retract automatically on erection. On the other hand, if the if the foreskin is longer than the erect penis, then automatic retraction will not occur. This condition is not viewed as a problem.
A very few of the longest foreskins will not stay retracted when manually retracted. Instead, they will spontaneously [[gliding action| glide]] forward when released. This condition is believed to be very rare.
