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.
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.
The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers the head (glans) of the penis.
The skin connecting the foreskin to the penis is called the frenulum.
Uncircumcised refers to a penis that still has the foreskin covering the head of the penis. This is a natural state in males that have not undergone circumcision, which is the surgical removal of the foreskin.
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.
Genesis ch.17. Gen 17:10-11, 24 KJV (.10) This is my covenant, which ye shall keep, between me and you and thy seed after thee; Every man child among you shall be circumcised. (.11) And ye shall circumcise the flesh of your foreskin; and it shall be a token of the covenant betwixt me and you. (.24) And Abraham was ninety years old and nine, when he was circumcised in the flesh of his foreskin.
The foreskin may also be referred to as the prepuce.
No when they circumcise they remove the foreskin only. Not the penis.
In circumcision of infants, the foreskin is pulled tightly into a specially designed clamp, and the foreskin pulls away from the broadened tip of the penis. Pressure from the clamp stops bleeding from blood vessels that supplied the foreskin

No, I did not. I thought I would still grow a foreskin.
Circumcision is the removal of the Prepuce or foreskin from the penis. this is largely a religious practice and there are no medical or health advantages in it except in extremely rare circumstances.
Removal of the foreskin is also referred to as circumcision of men or boys is traditional in a number of cultures, but it is most common in the Jewish tradition from the Brit Milah.
Circumcision
Yes, the males do, as do most male animals.
If you don't have foreskin that means you have been circumcised. Circumcision is a surgery during which part of the skin of the penis, called the foreskin, is cut off of the rest of the penis. After circumcision the head of the penis is always exposed since there is no foreskin left to cover it. Foreskin does not grow back after it has been cut off. Most circumcisions are performed when boys are only a few days old, which is why you don't remember it.
The foreskin of an uncircumsized newborn should NEVER be pulled back; it is a myth and it is dangerous to do this. It should never be forced back by a parent, no matter what the reason the parent has. Keep your hands off of it. Tissues of the glans penis and of the covering foreskin are not yet differentiated, and the foreskin should be left alone. Some physicians consider that an unretracted foreskin can be normal and non-problematic even as late as puberty. Yes, there can be problems with the foreskin, but pathological phimosis (a medically problematic unretractable foreskin) is virtually NEVER a competent diagnosis at birth.AnswerThe foreskin does not retract at birth. Forcing it back at this age can cause tearing and scarring meaning it will be difficult to retract in the future.
