It Men sometimes ask, "do I have to retract my foreskin when I pee?" They may have been told that it is not necessary unhealthy to pull back have [[urine]] inside the foreskin. There is no factual basis for that claim. Urine is normally sterile when you peeit leaves the urethra. Boys by necessity pee through their [[foreskin]] because it does not retract. Phimosed men also pee through their foreskin because the foreskin does not retract. It is not necessary to pull back when you pee.
→Urination: Revise text.
If the [[foreskin]] is non-retractable, then a rubber-bulb ear syringe may be used to squirt warm water into the [[foreskin]] to flush it out for an occasional washing. Washing is recommended before and after sex and as desired to remove accumulated [[smegma]].
== Urination==
Everything in the preputial sac is covered with [[Mucosa| mucosal membrane]] (similar to the inside of your mouth), which likes to be wet, so no damage or threat to health is done caused by having [[urine]] inside the foreskin.
The [[foreskin]] may be used as a hose nozzle to control and direct the stream. One man said, "When I need to pee, I open my fly, pull my foreskin out and give it a tug to get any wrinkles out, then I hold my foreskin with the thumb and forefinger of both hands and use the overhang of my foreskin to direct my stream. When I finish, I milk it a bit to get any residual pee out of my [[urethra]]."
