Long Foreskin

---

this isnt an actual problem with me but I was just wondering. what causes some foreskins to be longer than other's, is it somewhat genetic? cuz my foreskin has covered the same amount of my penis all throughout life, when my penis grew my foreskin would grow with it and still cover the same amount it did before. P.S. I'm talking about actual growth, not erection. anyways, but I found out some people have foreskin that doesn't even cover there head, while others have foreskin that extends far beyond the head. I masturbate frequently and it doesnt seem to effect the length of my foreskin, so I wonder how do some guys (and girls even) get foreskin to hang so low, do they really stretch it out when masturbating or something? I doubt anyone would purposely make there foreskin hang so low. I'm guessing you really have to be a madman with your foreskin cuz the only places i saw people like that was on a some crummy gorn at my fiends house. anyways i think genetics must play some role what u guys think? and is there anyway to reduce the length of foreskin, cuz hear that girls foreskin automatically becoems smaller a few months after pregnancy finishes.

Foreskins are totally genetic, each one of us that has one is very different. Nothing we can do to change them except getting cut....

completely genetic? wow! i think maybe strongly genetic but it must be possible to increase length externally that's how people have been able to do foreskin restoration, although it's probably really hard to increase length externally and that's why foreskin restoration takes so long. as for decreasing length, i hear there are possible chemicals that could do such a thing but ya probably the only realistic way to decrease length would to be to get surgery. that's my take on this subject matter.

it must be possible to increase length externally that's how people have been able to do foreskin restorationProbably so, but I doubt that most uncircumcised men actively try to increase the length of their foreskin.

I shouldn't worry in the least and enjoy what you have! We have two young sons (nine and seven currently) and they both have an ample foreskin, but thankfully neither has a problem retracting fully to cleanse, like at bath-time we can observe this. I imagine that the amount of foreskin would perhaps diminish as you grow (sorry we don't know your age) but I would think a longer foreskin would be a bonus, extra protection for the glans. My youngest son for example, he has an overhang of loose, wrinkly skin that is well over 1cm in length, the older boy has the same but far shorter amount of excess skin. We hope this helps and can only say stay happy and good luck!!

When i was young my foreskin was like that but now it usually sits about half way down the head.

That's good and healthy. At what age are you now and, if you can remember, how old were you when your skin began to slide back of it's own freewill? This may give us some idea of how our two lads may develop. Many thanks!

I am 22. I'd say i have been able to retract my foreskin since I was 13 or so.
