==Can it be manually retracted?==
'''Long foreskins''' do not spontaneously retract, but some can be manually retracted while others will not manually retract, usually due to a narrow tip of the foreskin that will not pass over the [[glans penis]].
If a '''long foreskin''' is of the non-retractable variant, its owner, by necessity, will discharge [[urine]] through the tip of the [[foreskin]].
There is much controversy regarding [[urination]] with a retractable [[foreskin]]. Either retraction of the foreskin or non-retraction of the foreskin is possible. Some believe that it is harmful in some way to have [[urine]] in the [[foreskin]]. There is no scientific basis for this view. The foreskin developed over about 1 million years of evolution based on survival of the fittest. If the foreskin made men less fit to survive, the principal of natural selection would have eliminated the foreskin, but it did not do so. The [[preputial sac]] of the foreskin is covered with mucosa, not skin, so it well tolerates the moisture provided by [[urine]]. Some men with a '''long foreskin''' report that it is awkward to retract the foreskin for urination, because the '''long foreskin''' is constantly pushing forward to return to its normal position, so they do not retract their '''long foreskin''' when urinating.
==Sex with a long foreskin==
The [[foreskin]] was provided by nature to facilitate sexual intercourse and the manually retractable '''long foreskin''' is not different. The [[gliding action]] eases penetration of the [[vagina]].
Sexual intercourse with a non-retractable ''' long foreskin''' may require special preparation. See [[sex with phimosis]] for more information.
==Lengthening a foreskin==
A [[foreskin]] may be lengthened over time by the application of manual traction to cause [[tissue expansion]] by [[mitosis]]. It is a slow process. Ddication and perseverance are required.
==Images==
The Acroposthion website maintains a gallery of images of '''long foreskins''' that may not be suitable for all viewers. Viwer discretion is advised.<ref>{{NSFW}} {{REFweb
