[[File:Acroposthion_of_the_foreskin.jpg|thumb|Acroposthion]]
'''Acroposthion''' or '''akroposthion''' is a word derived from Greek. It is the term used to describe the part of the [[foreskin]] that extends beyond the [[glans penis]].<ref>{{REFweb

== Can be present, but does not have to be ==
The acropostion acroposthion is literally the part of the [[foreskin]] that not only covers the [[glans]] when not erect, but also stands over in front of the [[glans]] like a tip and serves as a reserve [[skin]] for the erect state. There is nothing unnatural about the presence or absence of an acroposthion in the [[foreskin]]. Male genitals are just as different as female genitals.<ref>{{REFweb

}}</ref> Whether someone has an acroposthion or not is completely irrelevant to the integrity of their foreskin. It is assumed that in historical times, e.g. during ritual [[Jewish circumcision]], only the protruding foreskin, i.e. the acropostionacroposthion, was cut off before more radical circumcision methods were developed.
