→Male masturbation: Revise text.
The manner of male masturbation tends to be controlled by the [[circumcision]] status of the individual.
How one masturbates depends on whether one has an intact, internally-lubricated, movable erogenous [[foreskin]] that glides up and down the shaft or whether one has been circumcised.
===Intact penis===
The movable, internally-lubricated, [[Ridged band| nerve-laden]] erogenous [[foreskin]] and its [[gliding action]] is an important aid to masturbation. Intact males simply use their hand to glide the foreskin back and forth. It is not necessary to retract the foreskin while masturbating. Use of lubrication is optional for intact males. The motion of the foreskin stimulates the nerves inside the foreskin.
Prolonged and/or vigorous masturbation occasionally causes [[lymphoedema]] of the foreskin , which causes swelling of the foreskin. The condition is painless and harmless. It usually resolves within about 24 hours.
