"Foreskin positivity is no different from any other kind of sexual or body positivity," says Georganne Chapin, an attorney and founding executive director of Intact America, the nation's largest foreskin-friendly organization that advocates against the circumcision of baby boys. "Circumcision took root in the United States in the mid-19th century to curb sexual pleasure. But in today's world where we celebrate sexuality, foreskin is the ultimate sex toy."

Foreskin is the most erogenous tissue on the male genitalia, and it also provides essential protection for the penis. But confusion reigns!

• According to a 2023 Intact America survey, 25 percent of men and 37 percent of women think the foreskin is merely the excess skin that is removed during a circumcision.
• This survey data is not surprising since in the U.S. approximately 75 percent of males are circumcised.

Foreskin Facts

• Foreskin has thousands of unique nerve endings called Meissner's corpuscles, the most sensitive nerves in the human body.
• An adult male foreskin accounts for about 50 percent of the penile skin, or approximately 12 to 15 square inches in an adult intact man.
• Intact penises are approximately 4 mm chubbier and 8 mm longer than cut penises.
• The foreskin prevents the head of the penis, or glans, from drying out and losing sensitivity due to constant rubbing from clothing.
• The foreskin's special nerves provide feedback to the mechanism that controls ejaculation.
• Foreskin is amazingly easy to clean. In babies and children, no special care is required. For adult men, simply retract, rinse, and replace.
