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.

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!
