The [[foreskin]] produces [[pheromone| pheromones]] that are likely to be present in the preputial sac.<ref name="fleiss1998" /> Some [[foreskinned]] men report a musky fragrance from their [[penis]]. The fragrance, when it occurs, is emitted from the preputial sac.


The [[foreskin]] produces [[pheromone| pheromones]] that are likely to be present in the preputial sac.<ref name="fleiss1998" />
The fragrance may contain pheromones and is variously characterized. Some find it offensive, but others find it attractive, pleasing, exciting, stimulating, or arousing. 
 
Some believe that the use of soap in the preputial sac harms the natural microbiome and increases the strength of the fragrance. The foreskin fragrance may be contained by avoiding retraction of the [[foreskin]].
