What does the 2nd one mean? Go all the way down? To what?

[–] MrJameGumb 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

I'm honestly not sure. This was the entire post and as of now there are no comments or replies. I'm afraid to ask because I feel like the answer will only raise further questions. It may remain a mystery forever

Edit: I went ahead and asked anyway. I will update if there is any response

The foreskin is the loose part of the skin covering the tip of the penis. It is the part that is cut during circumcision. However, the loose bit of skin actually attaches a bit behind the tip, not at the base of the penis. Think of a circumcised penis. That ring of skin just shy of the tip is where the foreskin used to attach.

Attempting to retract the foreskin to the base of the penis is painful, not entirely possible, and with enough force with tear.

This is a joke implying that someone tried to retract it to the base.

Great, now RapeApe can dox your lemmy account. If he’s still an admin. I realize now that I know little about their current admins, and I’m happier for it.

To the balls. Tuck it over them to keep it from flapping.

I assume they mean down to the base of the penis. It only goes down past the glans (head) of the penis.

I went ahead and made the dangerous Google search to find a good source for you. This page has a pretty clear diagram (so, uh, NSFW I guess): See https://coloradonocirc.org/foreskin/

Key quotes:

The foreskin, or prepuce, is a retractable, double-sided fold of skin and mucosal tissue that covers the glans, or head, of the penis.

The outside of the foreskin is like the skin on the shaft of the penis but the inner foreskin is mucosal membrane like the inside of the eyelid or the mouth.

The penile skin (including the foreskin) is free to move over the penile shaft because the double-sided nature of the foreskin makes the penile skin system considerably longer than the penile shaft and also because the penile skin is only connected to the underlying structures at the pelvis and at the base of the glans (at the sulcus).

This page is not as clear on this specific topic but is much more helpful for general foreskin-related health information: https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/body/23175-foreskin#additional-common-questions
