The [[ridged band]] is a ring of deeply corrugated or ridged mucous membrane lining the tip of the prepuce. When the prepuce is retracted, the main part of the [[ridged band]] lies across the top and sides of the shaft of the penis. On the underside of the penis, the ridged band merges into the [[frenulum]] of the prepuce. Stretching of the accordion-like ridged band triggers important sexual reflexes and erogenous sensation.

== How is the foreskin stimulated? ==

The outside of the foreskin is sensitive to light touch. This sensitivity transmits important information on the general environment of the [[penis]] to the brain. The inside layer of the foreskin, especially the [[ridged band]], transmits impulses to the spinal cord which, in turn, transmits impulses to the penis and to the muscle responsible for ejaculation. This is a spinal reflex and, hence, the ridged band is reflexogenic as well as touch-sensitive. The main stimulus to reflex activity appears to be stretching of the ridged band.
