These questions are now relevant, since [[BUFF]] rediscovered [[tissue expansion]] as used by the ancients. Application of traction with the aid of a device or manually now enables [[foreskinned]] men to increase the length of their natural [[foreskin]], if desired, and enables [[circumcised]] men to create a [[foreskin]], which previously had been impossible.

There is a wide range of naturally occurring foreskin-length from almost non-existent to very long with a significant [[acroposthion]]. Many [[foreskinned]] and restoring men express an appreciation for a [[foreskin]] that is near or beyond the maximum normal length.<ref>{{REFweb

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.

An unusually long foreskin may be given the term [[Acroposthion#Macroposthia| macroposthia]].
==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.
