*: The [[foreskin]] is naturally equipped with multiple defense mechanisms against infection. The [[foreskin]] in the infant and toddler has a pronounced peak with a sphincter, which is formed by a vortex of muscle tissue, and remains closed to keep foreign substances out there, but opens to allow the outflow of [[urine]]. The sub-preputial moisture contains lysozyme, a secretion that destroys harmful microorganisms. The [[foreskin]] contains Langerhans cells, provide protection against [[HIV]] infection.

*: "The [[foreskin]] has a number of tasks and functions. The glands which can be found in the inner [[foreskin]], produce a secretion that keeps the [[Glans penis|glans]] soft and supple. The so-called smegma is used to obtain a stable bacterial flora in the genital area of men and to protect them from diseases. It protects against infection, which may also affect the [[urethra]], since its task is the natural hygiene of the [[Glans penis|glans]]."<ref>{{REFweb | *: "The [[foreskin]] has a number of tasks and functions.
