Several people have argued that the gliding movement Removal of the [[foreskin is important during sexual intercourse.

It is argued One study showed that removal of the foreskin results in a thickening of the glans because of chafing and abrasion from clothing, leading to loss of sensation. Removal of the foreskin can lead to trauma of the penis (friction irritation) during masturbation due to the loss of the gliding action of the foreskin and greater friction, requiring the need of artificial lubrication. During sex, the loss of gliding action is also thought to cause pain, dryness and trauma of the [[vaginaforeskin]].<ref name="warren-bigelow"/> The trauma resulted in decreased masturbatory pleasure and abrasions of the vagina can lead to easier entry of sexually transmitted diseasessexual enjoyment.<ref name="Bullough2014"'KimPang2007'>{{REFbook | last=Vern L.
