In male human anatomy, Prepuce, more commonly referred to as the foreskin is a retractable double-layered folded tube of skin and mucous membrane that covers the glans (head) of the penis and protects it when the penis is not erect. It is also endowed with a large number of touch sensitive nerves that make it important in delivering pleasure during sexual intercourse or masturbation. The mucous membrane that lines the inside helps in stimulating and lubricating the glans penis and also makes the experience easier and more pleasant for the female pardner.
The foreskin ( also refered to as the prepuce) is the part of the skin of the penis that covers the head of the penis.
In teenagers and adults, the foreskin can slide back to expose the penis head. This frequently occurs during an erection. In infants and children the foreskin does not retract until sometime in childhood, usually by age 12.

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
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.

You are 13 and have no foreskin?
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.
What could happen if a boy's penile foreskin is forced back too early?
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.
Are there foreskin problems that DON'T require circumcision?
In fact the incidence of problems with the foreskin (Prepuce) where circumcision is required is extremely rare.
