Can you tell if a guy is circumcised?

Yes, you can usually tell if a guy is circumcised by looking at his penis: a circumcised penis has the glans (head) exposed, with skin removed, while an uncircumcised penis has a foreskin covering the glans, which can be retracted to reveal it. The skin on a circumcised penis might look slightly different, potentially tougher or with a visible line where the foreskin was removed, whereas an uncircumcised penis has smoother, more sensitive skin around the glans that moves freely.
