}}</ref> It is ''not'' necessary to retract the [[foreskin]] while masturbating. If the foreskin is of adequate length, then the [[foreskinned]] male will usually keep it forward for additional stimulation. Keeping the head covered by the [[foreskin]] also protects the sensitive [[mucosa]] covering the [[glans penis| head]].  The motion of the foreskin, as in [[gliding action]], stimulates the nerves ([[Meissner's corpuscles]]) in the [[foreskin]]. Use of lubrication is optional for [[intact]] males. An informal online survey of [[intact]] and restored males in 2024 found use of lubricant is unnecessary and unpopular with almost no use of lubricant.<ref name="survey2025">{{REFweb
