    I was not sure if I was cut or not for a long time. They left me enough skin that it still slides like you describe.

      its called phismosis, i believe. it can constrict your penis to the point to “strangle it” an untreated one can accumulated “smegma” and it theorized it poses a higher risk of penile malignancy, which is rare. theres a similar called paraphismosis, which can caused by inflammation.

      There’s a whole range of procedures that fall under the umbrella term of circumcision, depending on how much they cut off. It goes from snipping off a little ring at the tip (the traditional bris), to outright removal of the entire mobile skin system. I figure I’ve lost at least 15 square inches (an index card size) of adult tissue.
