the prepuce is removed with circumcision. the prepuce is that part of the skin of the penis that doubles over itself and then proceeds to cover the glans penis/ the foreskin has an inner lining of mucous membrane where it comes in contact with the glans penis This protects and keeps it moist as it was designed to be the foreskin also protects the penis from becoming desensitised by constant friction against underwear and the covering also serves to stop pathogens from causing infections. Finally the foreskin is endowed with over 10,000 erogenous nerve endings that make sex more pleasurable.
