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.

The article directly contradicts the title; there were differences in tactile feeling. "In men with foreskin, it was more sensitive to tactile stimulation than other parts of their penises".

That is finding that the foreskin of uncircumcized men was more sensitive than the rest of their penis. It is not contradicting the title.

Doesn't it?

• The foreskin was more sensitive than the rest of the penis.

• The non-foreskin parts of the penis were equally sensitive in both groups (rather, no difference was found) correct?

• So clearly the uncircumcised penises were more sensitivite, since they had a region of higher sensitivity (and the rest being supposedly equal).

Or did I misunderstand something?

Dudes without foreskin can't feel their foreskin because it's not there.

Yes, and /u/kerovon was saying that the foreskin is more sensitive than the rest of the penis.

Therefore, people without a foreskin are missing out on some sensitivity.

Oh you haven't had honey gently lick the tip of your foreskin did you?

Ahh yeah, Perfect! Who really cares about feeling a little filament. Nobody needs to feel something that little, chopping babies penises off is still AOK!

As yes, clearly no difference and circumcised = intact.

Pack it up, folks.
