Originally when a child is born the inner foreskin is attached to the glans penis. At this stage it should be strictly left alone as trying to forcibly retract it would be like tearing a fingernail of the finger and would cause serious scaring to the membrane that covers the glans as well as the membrane that covers the inner foreskin. In time the glans separate from the foreskin ant they become separate entities except at one point where when the fore skin is retracted the fraenulum is a fine piece of skin that attaches the bottom of the foreskin to the bottom of the glans. This has the effect of pulling the foreskin back over the glans when the penis is no longer erect. The foreskin can be tight around the glans though and ifit is foreskin stretching exercises may be initiated that wil get it to move backwards and forwards over the glans as it should. Just ask "how do you stretch your foreskin" above and you will fin a heap of useful information.

What is the scientific name for the clitoral hood?

The scientific name for the clitoral hood is the prepuce of the clitoris. It is a fold of skin that covers and protects the clitoris, similar to the way the foreskin covers the glans of the penis. The clitoral hood plays a role in sexual arousal and sensitivity.


Do bulls have foreskins?

Yes. Just like in human males, the foreskin is formed over top of the glans penis, and is often exposed as the bull is still on his four feet chasing after the girls (it looks like a loose pink piece of skin that hangs below the sheath), but draws back when he achieves erection as he mounts the accepting heifer or cow.

What are the parts of a dogs penis?

I only know one of the parts, it's called a knot, when the dog's penis is fully erect you can see it. It's like a bulge at the base of it, it's like twice as wide as the rest of the penis. There is also the part that covers the penis when not erect, I think it's called the sheath.

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.

What is meant by circumcised?

When a male person is born he has a protective covering that stretches over the glans or tip if you like of the penis, This is referred to as the foreskin. People who are not confident that they are able to teach a proper regimen of hygiene think it is a good idea to remove this protective skin. to justify this barbaric custom they have attached religious meaning to it however the removal of the foreskin ultimately causes damage to the glans of the penis and should only be carried out for medical reasons.


Is there something wrong if you are a 12 year old boy and you can't get your glans over your foreskin?

You may need a circumcision if you have a tight foreskin. Do not force it out as this could be very painful and damaging. If you have tried gently moving the foreskin back n forth and it will not freely go over the glans then ask to see your doctor who will be best to advise you.

What is forkskin?

It's foreskin, not forkskin. Foreskin is the skin that covers the glans penis (penis head). Every male is born with it, but it's sometimes removed by circumcision. The only countries in which the majority of the population are circumcised are USA and Israel. Jewish people circumcise their boys for religious reasons, while Americans do it by tradition. The foreskin protects the glans and keeps it healthy and shiny, while circumcision allows the glans to become tough and less sensitive. During sexual intercourse the foreskin bunches up stimulating the female g-spot while cushioning penis and the vagina from friction causes by the bare glans rubbing against the vulva. Most men with a foreskin can retract it at well, and some do this to urinate or masturbate. Most men's foreskin will retract by itself when the penis becomes erect. In this state intact, and circumcised penises look the same other than the frenulum on the intact penis. If you want to learn more, read the wikipedia article on the foreskin.


Where is the prepuce located?

How foreskin is removed during intercourse?

The foreskin is not removed during intercourse. The foreskin is a double layer of very sensitive skin that covers and thus protects the glans penis. In the area where it is against the glans penis it is covered with a fine layer of mucous membrane. The foreskin is designed to be able to be pulled back wards exposing the glans penis entirely and then come back to cover it again on its own accord with the aid of the frenulum the ridged band inside the end of it puckers it in such a way as to hold it in place over the head. When you have sex the foreskin is pushed back as a result of the friction of pushing it into the vagina and as the penis moves back and forth so does the foreskin making the movement more pleasurable and less forceful for both male and female.
