Yes. The foreskin or prepuce covers the glans penis. or at least is usualy does when the penis is flacid, sometimes they may be short showing more or less of the glans at all times.

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.


Why do boys have foreskins?

Evolution made them that way. All mammals with a penis also have a foreskin, it is is an important part of the penis, it contains thousands of Meissner corpuscles which greatly add to the pleasures of masturbation and sex (which is why religious people want to cut it off, to spoil sex). It also protects the delicate glans from drying out and rubbing on your underwear and becoming numbed. Lastly, it allows a gliding movement which makes intercourse much nicer and comfortable for the woman. So if somebody wants to cut off your boys foreskin, or yours, refuse them and RUN.

When does a mens bellend come out?

A man's glans, commonly referred to as the "bellend," typically becomes visible when he becomes sexually aroused or when the foreskin is retracted, if he is uncircumcised. In uncircumcised men, the glans is usually covered by the foreskin when not aroused. During sexual arousal, blood flow increases, leading to an erection, which can cause the foreskin to retract and expose the glans.


What causes rashes after circumcision?

How foreskin is removed during intercourse?

The foreskin is not removed during intercourse. The foreskin is a double layer of very sensitive skin that covers and thus protects the glans penis. In the area where it is against the glans penis it is covered with a fine layer of mucous membrane. The foreskin is designed to be able to be pulled back wards exposing the glans penis entirely and then come back to cover it again on its own accord with the aid of the frenulum the ridged band inside the end of it puckers it in such a way as to hold it in place over the head. When you have sex the foreskin is pushed back as a result of the friction of pushing it into the vagina and as the penis moves back and forth so does the foreskin making the movement more pleasurable and less forceful for both male and female.


What is remove during circumcision?

the prepuce is removed with circumcision. the prepuce is that part of the skin of the penis that doubles over itself and then proceeds to cover the glans penis/ the foreskin has an inner lining of mucous membrane where it comes in contact with the glans penis This protects and keeps it moist as it was designed to be the foreskin also protects the penis from becoming desensitised by constant friction against underwear and the covering also serves to stop pathogens from causing infections. Finally the foreskin is endowed with over 10,000 erogenous nerve endings that make sex more pleasurable.


Is there something wrong if you are a 12 year old boy and you can't get your glans over your foreskin?

You may need a circumcision if you have a tight foreskin. Do not force it out as this could be very painful and damaging. If you have tried gently moving the foreskin back n forth and it will not freely go over the glans then ask to see your doctor who will be best to advise you.


What does a partial circumcision look like?

That would depend on how much of the foreskin is cut of for starters you have to understand that the skin that cover the penis starts at the base and directly covers the shaft (the shaft skin) until it reaches to just behind the glans. After that it becomes lose from the penis starting with the section that is called the outer foreskin, This is the skin that you see from the outside covering the glans. then at the end of the outer foreskin at the tip of the penis you will find the ridged frenar band this is the part of the foreskin that pulls the foreskin in around the glans the frenar band is also the area where the erogenous nerve ending finish, After the frenar band the foreskin doubles bac under itself and at this point gains a fine cover of mucosal tissue where it is in contact with the mucosal tissue of the Glans this tissue reduces the need for lubricants both during sexual intercourse and masturbation the inner fore skin goes a small distance past the sulcus (where the glans join the shaft of the penis) the result is that an intact penis looks like it has the same skin from base to tip with the foreskin fitting snugly over the glans until it closes or nearly closes at the end. A partial circumcision would mean that the frenar band would be removed along with the associated nerves. And without the nerves there would be a lot of sensation lost. Then without the effect of the frenar band pulling the end of the foreskin together you would have a loose tube of skin hanging there that would retract or not as the situation at the time dictates. ..

What is forkskin?

It's foreskin, not forkskin. Foreskin is the skin that covers the glans penis (penis head). Every male is born with it, but it's sometimes removed by circumcision. The only countries in which the majority of the population are circumcised are USA and Israel. Jewish people circumcise their boys for religious reasons, while Americans do it by tradition. The foreskin protects the glans and keeps it healthy and shiny, while circumcision allows the glans to become tough and less sensitive. During sexual intercourse the foreskin bunches up stimulating the female g-spot while cushioning penis and the vagina from friction causes by the bare glans rubbing against the vulva. Most men with a foreskin can retract it at well, and some do this to urinate or masturbate. Most men's foreskin will retract by itself when the penis becomes erect. In this state intact, and circumcised penises look the same other than the frenulum on the intact penis. If you want to learn more, read the wikipedia article on the foreskin.
