A member asked:
What is the role of the foreskin on penis during intercourse?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here is ...: There is no well defined or recognizable function for foreskin in sexual intercourse. In my 45-yr study & practice in urology, there has been no related discussion on its "physiological" function although much praise of its enhancing sexual feeling has been around. Largely, it's considered as a "redundant" part of the penis. Of course, different view & debate on its presence will continue & evolve
