The foreskin has the duty of protecting the glans penis and meatus, so boys are born with a [[foreskin]] that does not retract. There are two reasons that the foreskin of infant boys does not retract:
* The tip of the foreskin is too narrow to pass over the [[glans penis]].
* The inner layer of foreskin is fused with the underlying glans penisby a [[synechia]].
[[Forced foreskin retraction]] is harmful and must be avoided.
