Why does my penis have a skin overhang?!


Question: Why does my penis have a skin overhang.?
From all the "films" I've seen, none of the guys have as much as an overhang than me, is this normal.?Health Question & Answer


Answers:
The overhanging skin is called the foreskin. Boys are born with a foreskin but many parents have a small operation called circumcision performed on their baby sons to remove the foreskin.

The foreskin is needed during development in the womb but is redundant after birth. Circumcision is a quick, simple and safe external minor operation which greatly improves hygiene and hence life-long health.

In the USA around 75% of all boys are circumcised either in the hospital in the first 2 days or in the doctor's office some time during the first few weeks. Up to 5% more have it done as children to cure problems such as phimosis or balanitis (inflammation of the glans and foreskin).

Because circumcision is so common in the USA it is not surprising that the stars of these "films" are all circumcised or have retracted their foreskin to appear circumcised.

Your parents obviously left you uncircumcised. You can choose to be circumcised at any time, although until you are legally an adult you would need parental consent to get it done.Health Question & Answer

Most of the films that you've probably seen are American, and most men at the time that they were made were mutilated by circumcision; times have changed, and genital mutilation is out.

You have a whole penis, unmutilated by circumcision, with a foreskin, and the nerve endings intact, which provides a complete sexual experience, as the foreskin contains about 70,000 nerve endings, and also keeps the glans and surrounding tissues moist and sensitive for the most satisfactory sex.

Circumcision, amputating the foreskin, is abnormal and unnatural, and takes away a lot of the pleasure in sexual activity and masturbation.

A foreskin is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.Health Question & Answer

The over hanging skin is called a foreskin and this is a natural cover which helps to protect the penis. It use to be popular to cut this off newborn boys because it was considered unclean but this isn't true.

I wouldn't worry about it, some guys are cut and others aren't and it's becoming more popular not to these days. Health Question & Answer

Every man is different and every uncircumcised man has a different amount of foreskin. I am uncircumcised and when flacid, you can still see a bit of the head (very little mind you) and when erect it pulls back all the way. But there are many who even when erect have the head fully covered. you are normal. Health Question & Answer
