There is much controversy regarding [[urination]] with a retractable [[foreskin]]. [[Urination by foreskinned men| Either 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 do prefer to not retract their '''long foreskin''' when urinating. Either way is okay.

The reliable coverage and protection provided by the full length [[foreskin]] prevents [[keratinization]] and maintains the normal sensation of the [[glans penis]]. 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 [[Erogenous sensation of the foreskin| sensation]].

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.
