Longer foreskins are much less likely to spontaneously retract. The longest foreskins, if manually retracted, are likely to glide forward to recover and protect the [[glans penis]] when released.

==Lengthening the foreskin==
==Lengthening the foreskin==
The [[foreskin]] is responsive to [[tissue expansion]] techniques, as mentioned above, so [[intact]] men who desire a longer foreskin may gradually lengthen their [[foreskin]]. The process involves the use of [[stretching]] to induce [[mitosis]], which gradually increases the quantity of foreskin. The process is slow, but once it is done, it will last the rest of one's life.

The techniques that [[circumcised]] men use to restore their missing [[foreskin]] also work for [[intact]] men to lengthen their existing foreskin.
