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.


Does the foreskin cover the glans?

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.

To have puberty do you have to have the foreskin pulled out?

It's unclear what you mean by foreskin pulled out. If you mean do you have to be circumcised in order to go through puberty, the answer is a resounding no. If you mean that you cannot pull your foreskin back to reveal the head of your penis, then you should consult a doctor. There are a few options that may help this; don't just jump to surgery as the solution. This condition won't prevent you from experiencing puberty, but at some point it is a condition you will want to address.
