}}</ref> The acroposthion was is commonly called "'''snout'''" or "'''overhang'''". The acroposthion is considered to contribute to male beauty.

The acropostion is literally the part of the [[foreskin]] that not only covers the [[glans]] when not erect, but also stands over in front of the [[glans]] like a tip and serves as a reserve [[skin]] for the erect state. It is also mockingly called "trunk" or sometimes. There is nothing unnatural about the presence or absence of an acropostion acroposthion in the [[foreskin]]. Male genitals are just as different as female genitals.<ref>{{REFweb

As would be expected in a culture that valued the prepuce, the Greek language reflected this esteem through precise terminology. The Greeks understood the prepuce to be composed of two distinct structures: the posthe (ποσθη) and the akroposthion (ακροπσθτου). Posthe designates that part of the prepuce that covers the glans penis, but Greek writers occasionally used this word (or any of its variations, such as ποσθιη or ποσθια) in a general sense to designate the entire prepuce or, by extension, the entire penis. ''Akroposthion '' (or any of its alternative forms, such as ''ακροποσθια '' and ''ακροποσθιη'') designates the tapered, tubular, visually defining portion of the prepuce that extends beyond the glans and terminates at the preputial orifice. When we speak of the iconographic representation of the long prepuce, we are really speaking of the long akroposthion for the posthe can never be larger than the unchanging surface area of the underlying glans penis.<ref>{{REFjournal

Moreover, the acroposthion protects the [[glans penis]] and helps to prevent [[keratinization]], while preserving sensitivity. It has also been observed that the acroposthion is useful for containing [[pre-ejaculate]].
