Foreskin

What is considered long or short?

my brother Danny foreskin is about inch from the end of his cock i would say thats long

ZZZZZ

Mine is long then.

Long enough to cover the head when hard

long

I have overhang but not a lot, just a couple of cm. That’s when soft of course.

Short, stops just above my glans

Long. My foreskin covers the glans when erect.
Note: the word GLANS comes from the Latin word for ACORN.

Thanks for the cool Latin lesson

If you retract your foreskin the glans kind of looks like an acorn!

Additionally, the word “gland” comes from the same root (in this case, the diminutive glandula “little acorns”, in reference to the tonsils). More than one piece of anatomy was seen as acorn-like!

To answer the question, mine is also long and always covers by default. Part of why being cut is difficult for me to imagine; to me, the glans is supposed to be covered/hidden. I wouldn’t want it always exposed.

HeyCameron But do you realy want your foreskin to cover the glans when you have an erection?

I am definitly with you when soft. But when erect you want your glans to be exposed or am I wrong?

I would say I have a medium one, in that it just about covers the glans when soft without any spare, i.e. no overhang. To me, short would be “doesn’t completely cover it” and long would be “with an overhang beyond the end of the glans”.

luma-tomato You’re right, though for some guys it may only be partially exposed.

It really doesn’t matter I guess as long as you can retract it, but boys whose skin covers the head when erect would be able to answer better.
I’d prefer that mine covered the head completely, soft and erect. With the end of the head exposed it gets a little irritated if I don’t wear underwear

My foreskin covers the glans even when erect. But, for me, it doesn’t give any problems as I usually retract it when urinating or in sexual encounters.

On some it does. Some are bullet shaped. Some, I’m guessing, might be shaped different.

But to be fair, it looks that way even if you don’t retract.

Yes, you can often see the general shape of the head even through the foreskin and sometimes you can see the rim at the back of the head.
But as for different shapes, yet sometimes the head is more pointed, sometimes more rounded at the end, and this is all part of natural variations. People often talk about length but there is lots more variation than that, hence the thread: https://teenhut.net/d/320-for-boys-how-does-yours-look-like/35
