===Jewish response to epispasm===
Rabbis of the second century responded to the practice of epispasm to increase the injury by mandating ''[[Periah| peri’ah]]'' to change Jewish circumcision, or the complete ablation of the [[foreskin]] in order to prevent Jewish men from engaging in [[foreskin restoration]].<ref name="glick2005" />It is clear that the [[circumcised]] Jewish men of antiquity needed a long, full-length [[foreskin]] to function in Greek society. It is not clear what other advantages they may have found.

==Characteristics of longer foreskins==
As with shorter foreskins, the [[ridged band]] is located just inside the tip of the [[foreskin]].
The late [[intactivist]], [[John A. Erickson]], famously said, "One can't be too rich, too thin, or have too much foreskin."
