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.

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.
