 The Prepuce: Anatomy, Physiology, Innervation, Immunology, and Sexual Function
The complex anatomy and function of the prepuce, along with the fused prepuce/glans penile mucosa in the immature penis, dictates that neonatal circumcision be strictly avoided, as recommended by the Australasian Paediatric surgeons [88], Canadian Paediatric Society [89], and a paediatric urology textbook [87].
The innervation difference between the protopathic sensitivity of the glans penis and the corpuscular receptor-rich ridged band of the prepuce is part of the normal complement of penile erogenous tissue.
Therefore, surgical excision should be restricted to lesions that are unresponsive to medical therapy, such as lichen sclerosis of the penis (balanitis xerotica obliterans) or vulva, which is unresponsive to other therapies (e.g.

He believed the glans penis and prepuce has the same type innervation because they differentiated from the same mass of cells and had basically the same, rich innervation.
He found in the inner surface of the prepuce and the frenulum preputii, Meissner corpuscles, genital bodies, and endbulbs.
Ohmori (1924) stated that all that is true for the glans penis is true for the prepuce.

 Frenulum breve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frenulum breve is the condition in which the frenulum preputii penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the glans penis that connects to the prepuce (foreskin) and helps contract the prepuce over the glans, is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce.
The frenulum should normally be sufficiently long and supple to allow for the full retraction of the prepuce so that it lies smoothly back on the shaft of the erect penis.
Frenulum breve is often complicated by tearing of the frenulum during sexual activity.

 The Prepuce: Anatomy, Physiology, Innervation, Immunology, and Sexual Function

The elastic tissue of the prepuce dermis, along with the dartos muscle arid frenulum, tether the prepuce and help return it to its anatomically correct position after deployment during erection or after manual retraction.

In non-technical or sexual discussions, often the word "clitoris" refers to the external glans alone, excluding the prepuce, frenulum, and internal body of the clitoris.
The glans naturally joins with the inner labia, and the frenulum of the penis or clitoris.
The glans (literally, Latin for acorn) is a structure internally composed of corpus spongiosum in males or of corpus cavernosa and vestibular tissue in females that is located at the tip of homologous genital structures involved in sexual arousal.

 Foreskin
The smooth muscle, called Dartos muscle, of the ridged band and frenulum return the prepuce over the glans when the penis is flaccid (not erect), both to protect the highly sensitive nerves of the ridged band and to a lesser extent the glans.
Unlike the skin on the rest of the body which is attached to the underlying tissue, the prepuce and shaft skin are free to glide along the shaft of the penis, which reduces friction, abrasion and loss of lubricating fluid during intercourse.
The prepuce is a double folded tube of skin and muscosal tissue mucous membrane (like the inside of the mouth) which attaches at the crested end of the glans at the suculas, and to the body above the pubic bone and scrotum.

 Anatomy of the Penis and Mechanics of Intercourse
When unfolded, the prepuce is large enough to cover the length and circumference of the erect penis and acts as a natural sheath through which the shaft glides during coitus.
Also, since more of the loose skin of the penis remains inside the vagina, the woman's natural lubrication is not drawn out to evaporate to a great extent, which makes sex easier without using artificial lubricants.
The foreskin is not a `flap' of skin on the end of the penis, and it is not `useless' or `redundant' skin.

Further observations revealed that the "stem of the champagne glass" was actually normal and disappeared on attempted retraction, revealing a lesion of the prepuce.

 The Female Reproductive System
In front, an upper portion of each labium minus passes over the clitoris—the structure, in the female, corresponding to the penis (excluding the urethra) in the male—to form a fold, the prepuce of the clitoris, and a lower portion passes beneath the clitoris to form its frenulum.
The external opening of the urethra is some 2.5 centimetres (about one inch) behind the clitoris and immediately in front of the vaginal opening.
Partially concealed beneath the forward ends of the labia minora, it possesses a sensitive tip of spongy erectile tissue, the glans clitoridis.

An example is the frenum of the prepuce, the median fold of skin that passes from the urethral surface of the glans penis, behind the orificium urethrae externum to the deep surface of the prepuce.
Exact inspection shows that at each side of the frenum a small fold can be seen between the radix of the prepuce and the proximal side of the corona glandis; in other words the prepuce is inserted on the under side of the corona, at both sides of the frenum.
The frenum on the contrary is of ectodermal origin, the penis being derived from the genital eminence, as the clitoris is.

 Erogenous Tissue Loss after Circumcision
the `ridged band' lies above the level of the adjacent `smooth' mucosa and merges smoothly, on either side, with the frenulum of the prepuce.
The `ridged band' may be key to the persistent mislabelling of the inner lining of the prepuce as `skin'; it is clearly visible on inspection of the retracted prepuce, it is continuous with the wrinkled true skin of the tip of the prepuce, and it looks like skin.
The present findings suggest that a part of the prepuce differs in several ways from the rest of the prepuce; no attempt was made to quantify the specialized nerve endings of the `ridged band' because they should be seen in the context of their function and location in the crests of ridges.

Unlike the skin on the rest of the body which is attached to the underlying tissue, the prepuce and shaft skin are free to glide along the shaft of the penis, which reduces friction, abrasion and loss of lubricating fluid during intercourse.

 Foreskin restoration - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nonsurgical methods of foreskin restoration are performed by means of stretching the skin, dartos muscle, and mucous membrane covering the shaft of the penis.
The natural foreskin has three principal components, in addition to blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue: skin, which is exposed exteriorly; mucous membrane, which is the surface in contact with the glans penis when the penis is flaccid; and a band of muscle within the tip of the foreskin.
Although not commonly performed, there are surgical "touch-up" techniques that can re-create some of the functionality of the frenulum and dartos muscle.
