Foreskin (Penis)

Surprisingly hard to define, and the outer layer of the foreskin does not exist as an entity distinct from the shaft-skin of the penis. (For that reason it is not specifically marked in the picture.) In general though, the foreskin is the tapered cylindrical double layer of tissue extending from behind the corona distally to about the end of the glans and returning, and generally considered to end at the same distance along the penis as it began (ie, it is defined by circumcision...). From the corona to the ridged band its surface is mucosa; the rest is skin, and it is lined with part of the dartos muscle. On erection for most men it unrolls into a single-layered cylinder, mucosa behind the corona, skin proximal to that, enclosing about half of the shaft. A non-erotic animation on this site demonstrates its unique action better than any words can. For other names for the foreskin, see below.
