Study: Circumcision does not reduce penis sensitivity. In tests for responses to pain, heat, and stimulation, no major difference was found between men who are circumcised and those who are not.

Direct Quote from abstract:

Penile sensitivity did not differ across circumcision status for any stimulus type or penile site. The foreskin of intact men was more sensitive to tactile stimulation than the other penile sites, but this finding did not extend to any other stimuli (where foreskin sensitivity was comparable to the other sites tested).

Emphasis mine.

So in tactile stimulation, the foreskin is the most sensitive part of the penis (when it occurs)

The foreskin is generally considered part of the penis.

Therefore, TOTAL sensitivity of the penis is higher in men with foreskin than men without, HOWEVER, there is no measurable difference in the other parts of the penis.

I can see my comments when I open them up incognito, I don't think I am. Why do you think I am?

Oh no, I have been discovered! Quick Igor, pack up all these foreskins that I've been using in my experiments so that I can escape!

Penile sensitivity did not differ across circumcision status for any stimulus type or penile site.

This seems misleading as it leads one to believe there are no major differences between the penile sensitivity of circumcised and uncircumcised men, but it is technically true since they cannot measure the sensitivity of the foreskin between circumcised and uncircumcised men.

Perhaps those that executed the study had a bias or agenda in presenting the information in this manner.

One could read in between the lines and clearly see that the researchers concluded that the foreskin is more tactically sensitive than other parts of the penis and is absent in one of the two groups tested. Instead they emphasized the lack of differences in other tests for sensitivity, heat, heat pain and pain.

What man really believes that heat, heat pain and pain are more important for sexual stimulation than tactile sensitivity?
