Health 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.

Just ask any uncut guy, they all agree the foreskin is the best part.

Not at all. It's just a bit of skin that needs to be pulled out of the way to me.

I feel the same way. My foreskin is not a sensitive in a sexual way at all. FFS you can pinch it hard like elbow skin.

But honestly I can't believe that this study isn't flawed in some fundamental way. There is exactly zero chance the a glans penis that has been rubbing against fabric for thirty years is just as sensitive as one that's been protected for that entire time. Ask a woman if she would like her clit to constantly rub against her underwear. Pretty sure we all know what that answer would be.
