Best Answer

somewhat less then 20% of men in the world find that they have no foreskin or a greatly reduced amount of foreskin because it has been cut of usually while they are still very young and in a position where they can not resist having their genitals mutilated with an operation known as circumcision. This is done in the majority of cases for religious or cultural reasons. in some cases it is done for cosmetic reasons and in the USA and to a lesser extent in other English speaking countries for so called health reasons. In very rare cases people are born deformed in this department and have no foreskin.

What is circumsisions?

Circumcise literally means to cut around. Generally speaking a circumcision is a removal of the foreskin of the penis. It is a relatively simple procedure that some people do it for health reasons and some people do it for religious reasons.

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.


Why are people either for or against circumcision?

There are always 2 sides to everything: The overriding thing that must be remembered here is that most of the people who have their foreskin removed had it done while they were infants or children and had no choice in the procedure. So they did not have it done for their own reason but as a result of an assault a simple fact which is conveniently overlooked in many developed countrys. 1. Many people have circumcisions for religious reasons, like Islam and Judaism 2. Many people have circumcisions for aesthetics - some foreskins are NASTY 3. Many people have circumcisions to prevent foreskin problems 4. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal hygiene 5. Many people have circumcisions for easier personal sanitation 6. Many people have circumcisions because of the medical benefits. 7. Many people have circumcisions due to medical necessity during their lifetime. Against: 1. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is natural looking, more sensitive, and better for sex 2. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it protects the glans (the head) and reduces infections 3. Many people believe removing the foreskin is "mutiliation" just like removing the "female foreskin" is also mutilation 4. Many people leave the foreskin intact because it is ethically and morally the right thing to do since it isn't their body 5. Many people leave the foreskin intact because they believe the medical benefits are not dramatic enough to warrant a surgical procedure.


What is a dinkdock?

This happens when one man with a foreskin lets another nestle the head of his penis inside the foreskin. Most do it for fun, some do it as a way to get more personal with each other. It does require that one of the men has a foreskin, and the desire to get that close to the other.


What is a camels foreskin called?

You are 14 when fully erect you can pul your foreskin over the head of your penis but not down the shaft as your foreskin seems to be fused to the head of your penis?

The answer is simple. Your foreskin is fused to the head of your penis, and that is why it can be stretched of your head. some teens, are circumcised (for, say, religious reasons) so they don't have foreskins. You can be circumcised as a baby for the aforementioned reason, or if an ailment requires the removal of the foreskin

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.


Is puberty embarrassing?

I do not think you have anything to worry about. If you were asking these questions at age of 18 or 20 years, then I could understand your concerns. Just give yourself a few years and you should be ok. As for the foreskin not retracting, you know, it is so silly to think that you have to do things to hurt yourself or to be like somebody else. Just because someone says you have to retract your foreskin why do you think you have to do it? The reasoning is not correct that if a foreskin isn't retractable it can cause problems with cleaning and sex, and if it doesn't retract it's not functioning properly. There actually are millions of men in the world at any one time, myself included, who do not retract their foreskin. I have a number of current patients in a similar condition and have, in the past, treated men in Europe, Asia and other countries with the condition of tight foreskin. Not one that I have personally met and not one that I have ever read about has a problem with cleaning. Nor do they have problems with masturbation or sex. And I have to join with them in saying that it is ridiculous to suggest that our penises are not functioning properly. Your penis and your foreskin are a unique team. They work together almost always in perfect harmony. Some guys have a foreskin that retracts, so they retract it. Some guys have a foreskin that does not retract, so they leave it alone. Some guys have had their foreskin removed and no longer have a choice. If you are watching videos, then the guys are probably porn stars and they do so much drugs and other stuff that their sexuality is no longer normal in any case. I would not worry about them. If your foreskin does not easily retract, do not try to force it to. It does not have to. You do not have to pull the foreskin back to put a condom on, to masturbate, or to have sex. It is an absolute nonsense to think so. Only fools will tell you this is necessary. Some people label a tight foreskin as phimosis. Generally people with a tight foreskin do not have phimosis, they just have a tight foreskin. There are millions of guys in the world with this condition which is quite normal. The only abnormal thing is when you try to stretch a foreskin that does not need to be stretched or try to use medications that rarely have any beneficial result. The unfortunate thing is that retraction has been taught, mainly in USA, because personal hygiene was not taught. Washing a penis with the foreskin covered (not retracted) is very easily achieved and very efficient. Any boy or man can be shown how to do it if they are having a problem. The same goes for masturbation or sex. Many will argue that it is much more effective and it certainly feels great. I cant compare it to an open foreskin, because I have never done it that way. Just leave your foreskin as it was intended to be. Anything you do to yourself that hurts is normally not a good thing to do, so don't do it.


Why do some people think the glans of the penis is attractive but some don't?

It depends on how they were brought up, as well as the sex education they received. I'm Jewish and I've seen BOTH penises. I thought the foreskin was gross and the glans sexy!
