==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 foreskin is longer than the erect penis, then automatic retraction will not occur. This condition is not viewed as a problem.

It appears that many sex education classes provide incorrect information about automatic foreskin retraction. Not all foreskins retract automatically when [[erection]] occurs.

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 harmless condition is believed to be very rare.
