The Jewish male, with his [[circumcised]] [[penis]] and exposed [[glans penis]], was placed in an impossible position. The answer was [[epispasm]].
At that time, Jewish males were only given the original style of circumcision, which only removed the tip (acroposthion) of the foreskin, so they were still substantially covered by foreskin.<ref name="peron2000" /> Minimal stretching ([[tissue expansion]]) could easily recover the [[glans penis]] and make the Jewish male appear as the Greek culture demanded.
