My foreskin overhangs my penis / just covers my glans / doesn cover my glans at all. Is this normal?

A11. A wide variation is normal. The commonest length just covers the glans plus a little more (the acroposthion). Much more or less is correspondingly rare (there is a “bell-shaped curve” of commonness centred on that length) but “uncommon” does not mean “wrong”. Men with very short foreskins still have the ridged band, with its full complement of nerves, unlike circumcised men whose penises may look similar. A glans that is permanently uncovered may experience the same loss of sensation as a circumcised glans, but the contribution of the glans to the sensation of an intact man is small compared to that of the ridged band. Q12.
