uncircumcised
Not ritually cut
Uncircumcised describes a penis that retains its foreskin—the skin not having been surgically removed.
The term appears most often in religious contexts, where circumcision marks covenant membership; the uncircumcised are outsiders: The uncircumcised Philistines.
In modern usage, it's a neutral anatomical descriptor: He's uncircumcised.
