Thorvaldsen & Meyhoff (2005) conducted a survey of 4,000 boys in Denmark. They report that the mean age of first [[foreskin]] retraction is 10.4 years in Denmark.<!ref name="Thorvaldsen-meyhoff2005">{{REFjournal |last=Thorvaldsen |first=M.A. |last2=Meyhoff |first2=H. |title=Patologisk eller fysiologisk fimose? |trans-title=Pathological or physiological phimosis? |language=Danish |journal=Ugeskr Læger |volume=167 |issue=17 |pages=1858-1862 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/normal/thorvaldsen1/ |quote= |pubmedID= |pubmedCID= |DOI= |date=2005 |accessdate=2019-11-14}}</ref> The [[foreskin]] is fused with the [[glans]] penis in childhood and cannot be retracted as advised in this video. No attempt to retract the foreskin should be made. Wright (1994) advises that the first person to retract the boy’s foreskin should be the boy himself.<ref name="Wright1994">{{REFjournal |last=Wright |first=J.E. |title=Further to the "Further Fate of the Foreskin" |journal=Med J Aust |volume=160 |issue= |pages=134-135 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/normal/wright2/ |quote= |pubmedID=8295581 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |date=1994- 02-07 |accessdate=2019-10-17}}</ref> {{REFSEEALSO}} * [[Retraction of the foreskin]] {{LINKS}} * {{REFdocument |title=Care of the Intact (Not Circumcised) Penis in the Young Child |url=https://www.doctorsopposingcircumcision.org/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/care->of-the-intact-not-circumcised-penis-in-the-young-child-professionals.pdf |contribution= |last= |first= |publisher=''Doctors Opposing Circumcision'' |format=PDF |date=2016-07 |accessdate=2019-11-08}} {{REF}}
