<i>The aggressive promotion of [[circumcision]] by the [[circumcision industry]] in the [[United States]] for well over a century has resulted in the loss by much of the population of normal folk knowledge of a beneficial natural, normal, heathy, functional, and protective body part. This article is an attempt to partially restore basic folk knowledge.</i> Foreskins vary in length and tightness, so it is normal for [[intact]] men to report different experiences with [[urination]].

[[Foreskinned]] men sometimes ask, "do I have to retract my [[foreskin]] for [[urination]]?"<ref>Some men with abundant overhanging foreskin find it awkward and difficult to retract and keep retracted their [[foreskin]] because the foreskin is constantly pushing to glide forward to return to its normal position of covering and protecting the [[glans penis]].</ref> They may have been heard myths that it is unhealthy to have [[urine]] inside the [[foreskin]], however there is no factual basis for that claim. Urine has a healthy microbiome<ref name="cold-taylor1999">{{ColdCJ TaylorJR 1999}}</ref> when it leaves the urethra and is helpful for flushing out the [[foreskin]] and keeping it clean. The presence of urine in the preputial sac is ''not'' unsanitary and does not do harm. Nature has planned for this condition by lining the [[preputial sac]] with [[mucosa]], instead of [[skin]]. Boys by necessity pee through their [[foreskin]] because the juvenile foreskin does not retract and men with [[phimosis]] also pee through their [[foreskin]] because the foreskin does not retract. [[Urine]] does no harm so it is not necessary to pull back when one pees. One [[foreskinned]] man posted:

Well, I’ve got a little under 2 inches of foreskin overhang, and I just pee through it every time. I give it a quick tug to make sure it’s pointing in a straight line and then start peeing. When I’m done I pull my foreskin back to shake it off, and if I’m at a toilet sometimes I’ll wipe the tip of my foreskin if it’s still soaking wet.

So, as a guy with a long overhang, it’s just natural to pee through it. Besides, even if I pulled it back when standing, it’s pretty much impossible for me to keep it rolled back the entire time I’m sitting down to pee.<ref>{{REFweb
