Nature designed the foreskin to be an erogenous sensory organ. The foreskin has a layer of muscle called the [[dartos]] muscle sheath that provides the foreskin with elasticity, flexibility, and stretchiness. There is a mucocutaneous region at the tip of the foreskin where outer skin changes to inner mucosa. Winklemann (1959) identified the foreskin as a ''specific erogenous region zone'' (meaning a region an area of acute erogenous sensation). Winklemann reported rete ridges in the foreskin with nerves set close to the surfacewith closely set networks.<ref name="winkelmann1959">{{REFjournal
