Denniston]] ([[DOC|D.O.C.]]): "Circumcision removes a piece of skin (that in the adult is) almost equivalent to a 3 × 5 index card.”<ref name="galleryIntact">quoted in http://www.circumcisionharm.org/gallery%20intact.htm</ref> Thus, the [[foreskin]] size of an adult was given as 3×5 = 15 sq.inch = 96.8cm²<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.15square.org.uk/ |title=15Square |last= |first= |accessdate=2021-09-01}} ("15 Square" = trade name of NORM-UK)</ref>, going out of about 1.5 inches = 3.81cm in length for inner and outer [[foreskin]] sheet and 5 inches = 12.7cm circumference. This too is found in Fleiss and Hodges, 2002<ref name="Fn11b">see Fn 9b, p. 4. Mistranslation in “Beschneidung-von-Jungen.de“: „ungefähr die Größe einer 4[!]x5 Zoll (also: 10x12,5cm) Karteikarte“ [but in the picture animation: “100cm²”]. → 125×212 = 26,500 nerve endings. http://archive.is/20130903162537/www.beschneidung-von-jungen.de/home/infos-fuer-eltern/was-ist-dievorhaut/ was-ist-die-vorhaut-anatomische-und-physiologische-fakten.html#selection-603.105-603.168</ref>. The length also is indicated to be about 4cm and the circumference 13cm, which leads to an area of 8×13=104 cm².<ref name="circumcisionharm">a) http://www.circumcisionharm.org/gallery%20intact.htm and b) http://noharmm.org/snip.htm</ref> Size-measuring studies give a maximum (not average!) area of 99.8 cm².<ref name="ForeskinSize">see: Werker et al.
