Caring For The Adult Uncircumcised Penis
Posted by PRS on July 6th, 2007
All men are born with a layer of skin that covers the tip of the penis (glans), called the foreskin or prepuce. At birth, this foreskin serves to shield and protect the delicate glans which can be easily irritated by urine and feces. Males that have this covering of skin removed are referred to as circumcised and those that do not are called uncircumcised. While the decision to circumcise a male depends on many factors including the parent's preference, religion, and geographic location, the need to clean and care for an uncircumcised penis remains vitally important for overall penis health.

History and Practice of Circumcision
Posted by PRS on June 26th, 2006
The practice of removing some or all of the foreskin (prepuce) from the penis is called circumcision. The word circumcision itself comes from two Latin words; circum (meaning "around") and caedere (meaning "to cut"). Although usually thought of as pertaining to males, circumcision is also sometimes associated with females and refers to a variety of procedures performed on the female genitalia. Circumcision is usually performed for religious, cultural, and medical reasons. In some cases, elective adult circumcision is performed for body modification or aesthetic reasons.
