I’ve provided one quick explanation of each of the private parts rather than a beginner, intermediate and advanced scripts. I figure you don’t need much more than this to answer basic questions or give basic explanations.
The foreskin is a soft tube of skin that protects the head of the penis.
Circumcision is when a small part of the foreskin is removed in a simple operation. This is usually done shortly the baby is born. Many people do it for religious or cultural reasons, but most do it because they think it’s healthier or so the boy’s penis looks like his father’s.**
** Full disclosure: I am adamantly anti-circumcision. And I am parenting with a person who says, “They cut off a part of my penis without asking me.” It’s kinda hard to argue with that, although I’m sure you can, if you really want to.
