[[Phimosis]] is a word that came into English from Greek. It is the name given to the condition of having a [[foreskin]] that does not retract. <ref name="phimosis2016">{{REFweb |url=https://www.thefreedictionary.com/phimosis |title=phimosis |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |publisher=The Free Dictionary by Farlex |date=2016 |accessdate=2024-04-08}}</ref> A foreskin will not retract when the tip of it is too narrow to [[Gliding action| glide]] back over the [[glans penis]] ,<ref name="phimosis2016" /> so that the glans penis is exposed. Phimosis is classified as a condition, not a disease. It does not threaten health, so treatment of it is elective. In newborn boys and toddlers, [[phimosis]] is natural and normal. It protects the [[glans penis]] from injuries and contamination. This natural phimosis, which is an adhesion of the foreskin to the glans due to [[synechia]], usually resolves by puberty, and in some men even later.

Phimosis in men is not an uncommon condition. Men with phimosis frequently ask, "Can I have '''sex with phimosis?"''' There is wide normal variation in penile anatomy, but the answer usually is ''yes, if certain steps are followed.''<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://medhelpsis.com/en/posts/18730 |title=Can I have sex with phimosis? |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |publisher=Medhelpsis |date= |accessdate=2024-04-08}}</ref>

When a an [[intact]] man with a normal , retractable [[foreskin]] inserts his [[penis]] into his female partner's [[vagina]], the walls of the vagina grip the foreskin and cause it to [[Gliding action| glide ]] back into its retracted position. When a man with a tight non-retractable foreskin inserts his penis into his female partner's vagina, the walls of the [[vagina]] will attempt to retract his foreskin. When the foreskin is very tight the foreskin absolutely will not retract, so the man may have sex without fear of inadvertent retraction. Some men report complete success with a non-retractile foreskin.<ref name="young">{{REFweb

However if the [[foreskin]] is only semi-tight, it may be forced to retract during penetration, which is can be very painful and makes can make continued intercourse impossible.
