SUMMARY
The human male can be affected by three congenital conditions of the
penis: adhesions, phimosis and the frenulum breve, these occur singly
or in any combination. These conditions anatomically inhibit the relationship
between the foreskin and the glans, particularly on the erect penis,
and this functionally restricts the erection. If these conditions
continue until after puberty they influence a boy's sexual development.
The Encyclopedia Judaica says over circumcision that "10% of boys
eventually need it, because of non-retractibility of the foreskin" 3.
(Two medical studies arguably support this figure - see page 2).
When the penis is erect, these conditions have the following effects:
Adhesions: The foreskin may stick to the glans restricting any movement.
Phimosis: A thin ring of connective tissue, narrows the opening of
the foreskin, and hinders its retraction behind the glans.
Frenulum Breve: A fold of skin underneath the glans joins it to the
foreskin, if this is too short it causes the foreskin to slide forward.
These conditions are usually only treated as the result of a conscious
experience of pain, difficulty, tension, (or any other problem for
example diseases in the area). Such treatment is usually required during puberty or after the first attempts at love-making.
The conscious experience of pain and difficulty usually has a disturbing
influence on the sexuality, however the unconscious avoidance of such
uncomfortable sensations can lead to far greater problems.

In these latter cases it is not that the individual is consciously
aware of any inability to retract the foreskin, he simply does not
realise that retracting the foreskin is possible, normal or desirable.
He grows accustomed to himself, never questioning nature, and he is
unaware that he has any restriction. As a result of being unaware
of them, these conditions influence the sexual behaviour in an irrational
manner. Emotional responses become confused, and the social behaviour
of an individual adapts to this unconscious anatomical restraint.
Note
If the summary is clear, obvious and common sense, you may wish to
continue with "Prevention".
Intentions
This essay was inspired by personal experience. However uncomstructive such experiences might be, they belong to life, and omce one truly understands them, they automatoically resolve, and this brings wholeness. This essay was not written as a means of coming to terms with myself, writing scientific essays is an inefficient method of coming to terms with such experiences. I wrote this essay in order to come to terms with the scientific world
My intentions in writing are primarily, to prove the importance of
routinely checking every uncircumcised boy, before puberty, for adhesions,
phimosis, and the frenulum breve. A second reason is to record aspects
of human nature and experience, which have never been scientifically
acknowledged. Other reasons will unfold with the pages.
