uncutting:

The meatus is the external urinary orifice at the end of the urethra. In layman’s terms, the “pee hole.” The meatus exists on the vulva too, but here we’ll deal with it as it pertains to the penis.

The meatus is a little slit, usually surrounded on each side by tiny lip-like flaps.

Sometimes it’s congenitally placed lower on the glans or even shaft, in a condition known hypospadias. Another condition involving the meatus is meatal stenosis. This is when the meatal opening is slightly narrower than is should be. Sometimes it’s a side effect of circumcision, but it can occur in the uncircumcised as well.
