==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.
