wikify shaft skin
* '''"A cut penis is better protected against infections."'''
*: The opposite is true, because an important protective function of the [[foreskin]] no longer exists after the [[circumcision]].
*: "While the outer foreskin layer is an extension of the penile shaft [[shaft skin]], the inner foreskin layer, which lies flat against the glans, is a mucous membrane. The inner layer is an extraordinarily complex tissue. It contains apocrine glands which produce Cathepsin B, lysozymes, chymotrypsin, neutrophil elastase, cytokines and pheromones such as androsterone. Indian scientists have shown that the subpreputial moisture contains lytic material which has an antibacterial and antiviral effect. The natural oils lubricate, moisten and protect the mucous membranes of both the glans and the inner foreskin layer. The tip of the foreskin is supplied with ample amounts of blood through important blood vessels."<ref>{{REFweb
