→Can it be manually retracted?: Add text and Wikify.
'''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]].
If a foreskin cannot be manually retracted, then it indicates this may indicate the existence of a natural variant condition that is called [[phimosis]] or another one called [[frenulum breve]].
When a retractble '''long foreskin ''' is retracted, folds typically form at the base of the penis that try to unfold and push the foreskin forward into its normal position.
A manually retractable [[foreskin]] may [[gliding action| glide]] forward to recover and [[Immunological and protective function of the foreskin| protect]] the [[glans penis]] by itself when it is released.
==Urination==
If a '''long foreskin''' is of the non-retractable variant, its owner, by necessity, will discharge [[urine]] through the tip of the [[foreskin]].
