== Functions of the foreskin ==

* Protective function: In small children, the glued [[foreskin]] protects the [[glans]] from the excretions in the diaper. Throughout life, the [[foreskin]] keeps the [[glans]] soft and moist and protects it from trauma, injuries, environmental influences, friction and dehydration.

* Sexual functions

** The [[foreskin]] contains numerous delicate nerve endings. Together with the sensitive surface of the [[glans]], the inner [[foreskin]], which is retracted and turned outward during an [[erection]], forms an extensive and highly sensitive erogenous zone, which is important for normal, intense feeling during sexual intercourse and masturbation.

** The [[foreskin]] prevents unnecessary friction during sexual intercourse with a special sliding effect and increases the sensation of pleasure in men and women.

* Immune system: Specialized cells in the [[foreskin]] form substances that fight and kill pathogens. However, research into this function is still in its infancy.

=== Just a little bit of [[skin]]? ===

A property of the [[foreskin]] is that the [[skin]] is double-layered and can contract very strongly when the [[penis]] is in a flaccid state. In the relaxed state, the [[foreskin]] is cut away. Transferred to a grown man, much of the [[skin]] of the entire erect [[penis]] is removed! The [[penis]] is THE erogenous zone in a man and with [[circumcision]] a considerable area (comparable to the palm of the hand without fingers!) Is cut away. How to determine the area is explained [https://beschneendung-von-jungen.de/home/komplikation/der-normale-penis-und-die-ausektiven-der-beschneendung.html here]. This [[ridged band|area]] of [[skin]] is covered with an unusually high density of [[Meissner's corpuscles| nerve cells]].
