INFO:
“[The prepuce] protects and lubricates the glans and inner lamella of the prepuce, facilitating erection, preputial eversion, and penetration during sexual intercourse…The inner prepuce contains…lysozyme…which is also found in tears, human milk, and other body fluids, destroys bacterial cell walls…The natural composition of preputial bacterial flora is age dependent and similar to that of the eyes, mouth, skin, and female genitals…[The prepuce] contains a rich, complex network of nerves and an abundance of mucocutaneous end organs sensitive to motion, touch, temperature, and erogenous stimulation…Amputation of the prepuce neither inhibits risky sexual behaviour nor confers immunity after exposure to pathogens. This is demonstrated by the fact that the United States has both the highest number of sexually active circumcised males and the highest rates of genital cancers, STDs, and AIDS of any first world nation.” Fleiss, P.
