* None, foreskin kept retracted: 11.2%

* Foreskin just covers corona: 16.5%

* Most of head covered, tip shows: 17.6%

* Head completely covered: 48.4%

* Foreskin extends beyond head: 6.4%<ref>Gebhard, P. H., Johnson, A. B., & Kinsey, A. C. (1998). <i>The Kinsey Data: Marginal Tabulations of the 1938–1963 Interviews Conducted by the Institute for Sex Research.</i> Indiana University Press~~. Table 81~~.</ref>
