[[Foreskinned]] guys know from  personal experience how wonderful it is to have a fully functional [[penis]] with all of its parts. Most want to have any son's infant [[intact]] [[foreskin]] protected. Unfortunately, most maternity hospitals in the [[United States]] are spring-loaded to the [[circumcision]] position. One must consider measures for [[protection of intact newborns in hospital]]. Your [[intact]] newborn son's [[foreskin]] will probably be safer when he gets home from the hospital.

Nature designs the foreskins of boys so that they will stay in position where its [[immunological and protective function of the foreskin| protective and immunological functions]] can be effective. Your infant son's [[foreskin]] may not retract for many years, perhaps not until after puberty, so no attempt should be made to retract it. Wash the outside of his [[foreskin]] like washing a finger.<ref>{{REFweb
A majority of newborn boys have left the birth facility [[intact]] since 2022.<ref name="yang2025" /> [[Foreskinned men]] are expected to be in the majority in future generations.
