In male human anatomy, the foreskin, also known as the prepuce (/ ˈ p r iː p juː s /), is the double-layered fold of skin, mucosal and muscular tissue at the distal end of the human penis that covers the glans and the urinary meatus. [2] The foreskin is attached to the glans by an elastic band of tissue, known as the frenulum. [3]
The glans penis receives blood from the internal pudental artery through its branch, the dorsal artery of the penis, which also supplies the foreskin, and the penile shaft. [24] Behind the corona, the terminal branches of the dorsal arteries anastomose with the axial arteries through perforating branches before they end in the glans. [25]
English: In this video is demonstrated how a foreskin of an uncircumcised penis glides over the glans penis during masturbation. The video is taken from different angles. The male (age 35) seen in this video moves his foreskin back and forth over his erect glans penis by three fingers or by whole hand, no lubricant is used.
The glans naturally joins with the frenulum of the penis or clitoris, as well as the inner labia in women, and the foreskin in men. In non-technical or sexual discussions, often the word "clitoris" refers to the external glans alone, excluding the clitoral hood , frenulum , and internal body of the clitoris. [ 5 ]
The preputial mucosa of the penis is the epithelium of the inside of the prepuce, or foreskin. [1] To differentiate it from the cutaneous skin of the outside of the prepuce, it is sometimes referred to as the inner mucosa.
During the process, pubic hair grows above and around the penis. A large-scale study assessing penis size in thousands of 17- to 19-year-old males found no difference in average penis size between 17-year-olds and 19-year-olds. From this, it can be concluded that penile growth is typically complete not later than age 17, and possibly earlier.
The penis is an intromittent organ with a long shaft, an enlarged bulbous-shaped tip called the glans and its foreskin for protection. Inside the penis is the urethra, which is used to ejaculate semen and to excrete urine. Both substances exit through the meatus.
The function of a foreskin retainer is to keep the glans penis covered by the available foreskin. A foreskin retainer can be used when newly grown foreskin is neither long enough nor tight enough to keep the glans covered itself, but is long enough that it can be stretched past the glans (which is necessary to facilitate the use of a retainer).
