A member asked:
Is it alright for the tip of the penis to be outside the penis skin ? is it ideally supposed to be covered completely by the skin ? thank you.

OK...: The length of foreskin and the degree of foreskin covering penile head (glans penis) highly vary among uncircumcised men, and are not clinically significant as long as being comfortable and easy to maintain topical hygiene. So, it's no benefit to be obsessed with how long the foreskin covers its head. Best wish...
