The foreskin or prepuce is a covering of especially formulated skin that covers the glans penis. This is attached to the glans when a child is born and separates as the child gets older. It is highly charged with nerves that enhance sexual pleasure and protects the very sensitive glans penis from damage and infection. Circumcision is the removal of this layer of skin It is done mainly for religious reasons among muslims and Jews although there are several primitive cultures throughout the word that partake in this ritual. It is also done to a diminishing degree in the English speaking country's especially the USA but medical authority's are wining the battle to have this rite abandoned. About 20% of the worlds men are mutilated in this way.

What does the word foreskin mean?

What is a long foreskin?
By examination of the word 'long' one would assume the question is referring to a foreskin greater than average. Average foreskin covers the glans of the penis completely when soft. When erect average foreskin typically slides back and exposes some if not all of the glans. If a man has 'long' foreskin, by description alone it suggests that the foreskin is of a greater/longer amount than average. Some men with longer foreskins can have an erection with no exposure of the glans. In other cases the foreskin can be long enough to cover the glans during erection with excess at the tip. Typically the position of the foreskin is dependant upon the elasticity and size of the frenum, which attatches the foreskin to the underside of the glans. The more flexible and abundant the frenum is, the more likely the foreskin is able to slide up and down.
Where would one find the frenulum?
If it is doing what it is supposed to do. which is cause the foreskin to move back over the glans of the penis when it is flaccid. it is easily distinguishable when puling the foreskin right back as a separate chord like entity that reaches from the glans to the foreskin for about 15mm until it seems to blend back into the foreskin. so it is not actually tight at all it only becomes tight when the foreskin is pulled back. the tightens of the frenulum may well be associated with the tightness of the foreskin round the penis itself. loosen the foreskin and you loosen the frenulum.
