Some men with a '''long foreskin''' report that it is awkward to retract the foreskin for urination, because the '''long foreskin''' is constantly pushing forward to return to its normal position, so they do not retract their '''long foreskin''' when urinating.
→Lengthening a foreskin: typo
}}</ref> The incidence of [[circumcision of the newborn]] has been slowly declining ever since. This has resulted in ever-increasing numbers of adult males in the [[United States]] with an [[intact]] [[foreskin]], a portion of which are classifed as '''long foreskins'''.
These men are seeking more and more information about [[foreskin]]. Unfortunately, it appears that most of the information provided about the [[foreskin]] is provided by [[Circumcised doctors| medical doctors]] who were [[circumcised]] as infants annd who may profit from the performance of [[circumcision]], so it frequently is inaccurate and contain contains [[bias]].
This article seeks to answer questions about '''long foreskins'''. Foreskins naturally come in a wide variety of lengths from very short to very long. '''Long forekins''' are in the normal range. Treatment or surgery is ''not'' indicated.
If a '''long foreskin''' is of the non-retractable variant, its owner, by necessity, will discharge [[urine]] through the tip of the [[foreskin]].
There is much controversy regarding [[urination]] with a retractable [[foreskin]]. Either [[Urination by foreskinned men| Urination with either retraction of the foreskin or non-retraction of the foreskin is possible]]. Some believe that it is harmful in some way to have [[urine]] in the [[foreskin]]. There is no scientific basis for this view. The foreskin developed over about 1 million years of evolution based on survival of the fittest. If the foreskin made men less fit to survive, the principal of natural selection would have eliminated the foreskin, but it did not do so. The inside of the [[preputial sac]] of the foreskin is covered with mucosa, not skin, so it well tolerates the moisture provided by [[urine]]. Some men with a '''long foreskin''' report that it is awkward to retract the foreskin for urination, because the '''long foreskin''' is constantly pushing forward to return to its normal position, so they prefer to not retract their '''long foreskin''' when urinating. Either way is okay.
==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]]and increases pleasurable sensation.
Sexual intercourse with a non-retractable ''' long foreskin''' may require special preparation. See [[sex with phimosis]] for more information.
==Lengthening a foreskin==
A [[foreskin]] may be lengthened over time by the application of manual traction to cause [[tissue expansion]] by [[mitosis]]. It is a slow process. Ddication Dedication and perseverance are required.

==Conclusion==
'''Long foreskins''' should not be described as "redundant", "excess", or "extra". It is a multi-functional, protective, sensitive, erogenous part of the normal [[penis]].<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref>
