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 | The term "'''Gliding action'''" is used to describe the way the [[foreskin]] moves during [[sexual intercourse]].
