frenulum breve は、陰茎包皮が完全に剥けるには陰茎小帯が短すぎる状態のことであり、それによって性交中に不快になるかもしれない。包茎は、大人の陰茎包皮が十分に剥けない状態のことである。成人になる前にはまだ、陰茎包皮と亀頭が分かれていないかもしれない。包茎は、陰茎包皮を穏やかに引っ張る、オナニーの癖を変える、局所ステロイド軟膏の塗布、Preputioplasty、もしくはより完全な方法として包茎手術を選択することによって治療される。包皮炎(英語版)は陰茎包皮の炎症である。

"During intercourse, the natural penis shaft actually glides within its own shaft skin covering. This minimizes friction to the vaginal walls and opening, and to the shaft skin itself, adding immeasurably to the comfort and pleasure of both parties. Friction is not entirely eliminated during natural intercourse but it is largely eliminated. Friction can take place in the lower vagina, but only if the man uses a stroke that exceeds the (forward and backward) gliding range of the shaft's extra skin. And in such a case, there will be friction only to the extent that the shaft exceeded its extra skin, which is uncommon since the natural penis has a propensity for short strokes. Primarily, it is the penis head that makes frictional contact with the vaginal walls, usually in the upper vagina where there is ample lubrication. [...] The gliding principle of natural intercourse is a two-way street—the vagina glides on the shaft skin while the shaft skin massages the penis shaft as it glides over it."
