Intact is the preferred antonym for "circumcised".
''Intact'' is the preferred antonym for ''[[circumcised]]''. Intact males have a [[foreskin]]. An ''intact'' boy is a ''[[foreskinned]]'' boy.
 
According to the [[WHO]], about 70 percent of living males are intact. All boys are born intact. Being intact is the normal condition of human males.
== History ==
[[Jeffrey R. Wood]], an early [[intactivist]], is believed to be the first person to apply the word to the condition of having a normal, complete, natural [[penis]].
 
Marilyn Milos, the founder of [[NOCIRC]], also advocated the use of <i>intact</i>, because words such as <i>uncircumcised</i> implied that something had been left undone.
 
== Intact males ==
Intact males possess a [[foreskin]] and its enclosed [[preputial sac]].
 
Most intact males report that their [[foreskinned]] [[penis]] is very [[Foreskin sensitivity| sensitive]].  


Intact males enjoy [http://www.intactaus.org/information/functionsoftheforeskin/ a full range of foreskin functions].
Intact males usually have good [[gliding action]] and do not need to use lubrication.
