==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]].
==Sex with a long foreskin==
The reliable coverage and protection provided by the full length [[foreskin]] prevents [[keratinization]] and maintains the normal sensation of the [[glans penis]]. 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]] and increases pleasurable [[Erogenous sensation of the foreskin| sensation]].
Sexual intercourse with a non-retractable ''' long foreskin''' may require special preparation. See [[sex with phimosis]] for more information.
