Immunological and Protective Function of the Foreskin.
The Protective and Hygienic Function of the Foreskin.
The foreskin, like the eyelid, also serves an important protective and hygienic function.
The foreskin protects the delicate glans of the penis and puts the urethra at a distance form its environment, protecting it from foreign contaminants of all kinds while simultaneously shielding the penis from injury.
It is a double fold of skin which offers two layers of protection.
Natural secretions of oil are achieved by sebaceous glands which are abound in the foreskins inner lining, these are not present in the glans.
They are also present in the eye lid and perform the same function in both places.
They secrete the oils necessary to keep the glans surface soft, moist, smooth, warm, sensitive, and with a healthy glistening red or purple colour.
This moisturizer also maintains PH balance, and optimal cleanliness.
This is required to keep the surface of the glans healthy and clean via the cleaning effects of mucous secretions.
Again, this function is analogous to the eye lid.
The glans are meant to be an internal organ covered and protected from the outside world.
