Original sentence: In the words of Paul Fleiss:Smegma is probably the most misunderstood, most unjustifiably maligned substance in nature.Smegma does not form in circumcised boys and men; the preputial sebaceous glands are gone, and dead cells from the glans merely slough off.This is disputed by others, who view smegma as a breeding ground for bacteria.While sometimes regarded as smelly and disgusting, some authors argue that smegma is normal, and may have beneficial properties
Edited sentence: Curiously, although the production of smegma in human males is discussed frequently (usually in the context of the debate surrounding the circumcision of infant boys), the normal production of smegma in the genitalia of girls and women is largely ignored.In the words of some authors:Smegma is probably the most misunderstood, most unjustifiably maligned substance in nature.Of course, this is disputed by some that view smegma as a breeding ground for bacteria.Smegma does not form in circumcised boys and men, since the glans is exposed and becomes keratinized like the rest of the exposed skin; the preputial sebaceous glands are gone, and dead cells from the glans merely slough off.While sometimes regarded as smelly and disgusting, smegma is normal, and, indeed, may have beneficial properties
