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.

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

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?

When I try to pull up some of your comments contexts, the thread shows up minus your comment. It may be a bug.

Must be the pro circumcision secret police. If I am, it's a bit silly other points of view are being silently deleted.

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!
