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. | In newborn boys and toddlers, [[phimosis]] is natural and normal.

When 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 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 | When 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.
