If the male foreskin has been medically removed, it is said to be Circumcised vs Uncircumcised. When a man is circumcised, the glans stays open all the time.

This makes cleaning easier and slightly lowers the risk of foreskin-related infections, but it also causes the head to keratinize, which may slightly reduce the sensitivity to small touches.

Men who haven’t been circumcised still have the foreskin’s natural sliding mechanism and specialized nerve ends.

These men often report stronger, milder feelings, but they have to pull back and clean the area every day to keep the smegma from building up and causing pain.
