}}</ref> The incidence has been slowly declining ever since. This has resulted in ever-increasing numbers of adult males in the [[United States]] with an [[intact]] [[foreskin]]. 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, so it frequently is inaccurate.
This article seeks to answer questions about long foreskins.
==Long foreskins==
For the purpose of this discussion, ''long foreskins'' are defined as foreskins that are long enough to cover the [[glans penis]] even when the [[penis]] has a full [[erection]]> They may also be defined as a foreskin that is classified as CI-9 or CI-10 on the coverage index.
