The foreskin is specifically designed, First to protect the Glans penis while it is developing, this development is still taking place after birth. then to protect the glans penis sensitivity and cleanliness during pre puberty. After it becomes loose and pliable and able to be retracted from the glans ( this may happen well before or during puberty) It exposes the pleasurable and sensitive surface of the glans to masturbation and sexual intercourse while more then 20,000 nerve endings in the foreskin itself add further to the sexual experience. The foreskin itself is built with an internal mucous membrane lining similar to the inside of the eyelids to aid in lubrication and smooth pleasurable movement for both male and female. It is an important part of the function of manhood.

What is partial circumcision?

Partial circumcision removes only part of the foreskin. Partial foreskin may be used to treat phimosis (a tight foreskin) that does not respond to gradual stretching exercises with a corticosteroid cream. Instead of removing the entire foreskin, partial circumcision only removes the tight phimotic ring that prevents the foreskin from being retracted. Many men with phimosis prefer partial circumcision to complete circumcision as it retains most of the foreskin, which functions in several ways to increase pleasure during sexual activity.

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.


Does it hurt when the foreskin goes back?

When you consider the sensitivity of the glans and of the foreskin you will have to treat it gently for a while while it gets used to and loose enough to move back and forth easily. The heightening of the new sensations involved can at first be confused with pain.
