The term "'''Gliding action'''" is used to describe the way the [[foreskin]] moves during sexual intercourse. The foreskin is internally lubricated with body fluid, so it glides frictionlessly over the shaft and [[Preputial mucosa|inner layer]] of foreskin. This mechanism was described by Lakshamanan & Prakash (1980), stating that "[t]he outer layer of the prepuce in common with the [[shaft skin|skin of the shaft]] of the penis glides freely in a to and fro fashion..."<ref>{{REFjournal

Several people have argued that the gliding movement of the foreskin is important during sexual intercourse. [[John Warren| Warren]] & [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]] (1994) state that gliding action would help to reduce the effects of vaginal dryness and that restoration of the gliding action is an important advantage of [[foreskin restoration]].<ref name="warren-bigelow">{{REFjournal
