'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' is the [[skin]] which covers and protects the parts of the [[penis]] shaft. The [[shaft skin]] is part of the epithelium of the [[penis]]. The shaft skin incorporates a layer of muscle fiber called the [[Dartos]].

The Dartos is not attached to the underlying [[Buck's fascia]], so there is a very high degree of mobility allowing [[gliding action]].

In humans and some other mammals parts of the shaft skin become covered with pubic hair at puberty.

In humans and some other mammals, parts of the shaft skin become covered with pubic hair at [[puberty]].

{{NOTE}} The ~~male~~ [[foreskin]] is no part of the penile shaft skin but a separate "organ" which covers and protects the [[glans penis]]. The shaft skin, the [[foreskin]] and the [[preputial mucosa]] build the epithelium of the [[penis]].

{{NOTE}} The [[foreskin]] is not part of the penile shaft skin, but a separate "organ" which covers and protects the [[glans penis]]. The shaft skin, the [[foreskin]] and the [[preputial mucosa]] build the epithelium of the [[penis]]. The outer layer of the [[foreskin]] is similar to the shaft skin.
