What is "foreskin"?

The foreskin is a fold of skin that covers and protects the sensitive area of the genitals in both males and females. In males, it typically refers to the retractable skin covering the head of the penis, while in females, it refers to the fold of skin surrounding the clitoral hood. The foreskin plays a role in maintaining moisture, protecting the underlying tissues, and contributing to sexual sensitivity. Its presence or absence can vary among individuals and is influenced by cultural, religious, or medical factors.
