A member asked:
Is it normal that the foreskin of the penis covers the entire top part of penis when it is fully erected? if not can you recommend a medication

After loosening, the foreskin can slide back and forth. When loose enough, it slides behind the glans during erections. The foreskin protects the glans of the penis from getting dried out, desensitized, injured, etc...
