The acropostion is literally the part of the [[foreskin]] that not only covers the [[glans]] when not erect, but also stands over in front of the [[glans]] like a tip and serves as a reserve [[skin]] for the erect state. It is also mockingly called "trunk" or sometimes. There is nothing unnatural about the presence or absence of an acropostion in the [[foreskin]]. Male genitals are just as different as female genitals.<ref>{{REFweb | |||

}}</ref> Whether someone has an acroposthion or not is completely irrelevant to the integrity of their foreskin. It is assumed that in historical times, e.g. during ritual [[Jewish circumcision]], only the protruding foreskin, i.e. the acropostion, was cut off before more radical circumcision methods were developed. | |||
