'''Phimosis''' (''fɪˈmoʊsɨs'' or ''faɪˈmoʊsɨs'', from the Greek ''phimos'' (φῑμός "muzzle"), is a variant of the [[penis]] where the [[foreskin]] cannot be fully retracted over the [[glans penis]].<ref>{{URLwikipedia|Phimosis|Phimosis|2019-09-25}}</ref> Phimosis is a condition, not a disease, so it does not threaten health. Men may elect to treat it or not treat it. Some men live their entire lives with a non-retractile foreskin. [[Sex with phimosis| They are able to have sexual intercourse and father children]].

==Positive aspects of phimosis==

Artificial intelligence produced this list of advantages:

* Increased Sensitivity: Some people report heightened sensitivity due to the foreskin covering the [[glans]], which may enhance pleasure.

* Natural Protection: The [[foreskin]] acts as a barrier, potentially reducing exposure to irritants and infections.

* Reduced Risk of Certain Conditions: Some studies suggest that [[intact]] foreskin may help maintain moisture and prevent dryness-related issues.

* Alternative Intimacy Experiences: Individuals with phimosis sometimes develop unique approaches to intimacy that focus on broader sensual experiences rather than conventional techniques.

==Physiologic phimosis==

[[Michel Beaugé| Beaugé]] (1997) states that adult phimosis is caused by unusual methods of [[masturbation]] that fail to stretch the narrow foreskin of [[Foreskin#Foreskin_in_infancy_and_childhood| childhood]].<ref name="beauge1997">{{REFjournal
