GENERAL INTRODUCTION
TO PREVENTION
There are thousands of forms of sexual disturbance and huge volumes
of literature have discussed theories and principles which
baffle common sense.
Here we are discussing a simple physical restriction
of the external male sexual organ.
Among all the problems which people have this must be the most
ignored and the easiest to solve.
NOTE: This Page is merely of historical interest. During the1900s checking was standard medical procedure. These days internet videos would be more practical.
"It would be best for parents to check their son's erections
during infancy" Dr.med. Jenny Splieth (22) - This check is very
easy to perform: During bath time erections - simply look : Is
the foreskin moving freely?
If parents made an early check on a boy's erect penis, this would
be far more effective and efficient than a doctor's check on the boy's
flaccid penis. |

Routine Medical Checks
Routine pre-puberty medical examinations currently check such things
as eyesight, hearing, heart and lungs and for the proper descent of
the testes. To this should now be added at least one check to ensure
that the boy does not suffer from adhesions, phimosis or a tight frenulum.
The boy should be asked to retract his own foreskin to the extent
that the frenulum can be checked. (In addition the circumcised boy
must be checked for skin-bridges and frenulum breve). This check is
necessary before puberty in order to minimise the amount of treatment
required after puberty, once problems have arisen.
A medical check would be most profitable as regularly as other organs
were checked, not only before puberty, but also after puberty. With
our present cultural attitudes on preventative medicine, it would be
appropriate if checking became recognised and understood as routine
procedure - and became a central part of our cultures initiation into
manhood.
This theme is developed under: The validity
of routine checks and education
______________
The Facts of Life
It is normal for infants to have erections and,
Among most normal boys the foreskin retracts automatically when erect.
Education: Since January 1997 pictures of foreskin retraction are available on internet. It would be realistic to print pictures of the erect penis showing the retraction of the foreskin in books on sexual education, this would minimise the necessity to find education through pornography.

The Optimal Way to Check
The optimal practical idea is suggested by Dr. med Jenny Splieth..
"Mothers should check this, they see their childrens erections"
and again, "It would be best for parents to check their son's erections
during infancy ... this would be simplest to do at bath times." (22)
Doctors are usually unable to check a child`s erection and thus
are unable to see the effects of, for example, a relative phimosis
or frenulum breve. It is easy (and I would argue as natural as bathing
him), to check your own son for problems. This involves simple observation
of the spontaneous bath time erections every boy has, if he is able
to freely retract and replace his own foreskin then he is in good
health.
Parents have asked me : If a boy is (unsexually) playing with his
erect penis (e.g. during bathing times, at one year old), does this
mean that he's healthy? The answer is: Yes! and this must be the best
way to check. Simply look : Is the foreskin moving freely?
If parents made an early check on a boy's erect penis, this would
be far more effective and efficient than a doctor's check on the boy's
flaccid penis. If after three years old a boys foreskin does not retract,
he needs encouragement.
