Anatomical investigations have identified Morgan (1967) addressed the issue in the ''Medical Journal of Australia'':<blockquote>The subcutaneous tissue of the [[glans]] is provided with special sensory receptors that are concerned with appreciating the pleasurable sensations that occur during coitus. They are stimulated normally only when the glans is exposed. In the [[circumcised]] subject these receptors are constantly stimulated and lose their sensitivity. During the act of coitus, the [[uncircumcised]] phallus penetrates smoothly and without friction, the prepuce gradually retracting as a primary erogenous zone in humansthe organ advances. In contrast, when the [[circumcised]] organ is introduced during coitus, friction develops between the glans and the vaginal [[mucosa]].<ref name="ErogenousZonesmorgan1967">{{REFjournal | last=WinkelmannMorgan | first=R.KWilliam Keith C. | coauthorsinit=WKC |author-link=William Keith Campbell Morgan |etal=No |title=Penile Plunder | trans-title="The Erogenous Zones |language= |journal=Med J Aust |location= |date=1967-05-27 |volume=1 |issue=21 |pages=1102-3 |url=http: Their nerve supply and significance//www.cirp.org/library/general/morgan2/ |quote= |pubmedID=4226264 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2024-08-18}}</ref> </blockquote> Falliers (1970) commented on the " Proceedings of the staff meetings sensory pleasure induced by tactile stimulation of the Mayo Clinicforeskin."<ref name="falliers1970">{{REFjournal |last=Falliers |first= |init=CJ |author-link= |etal=no |title=Circumcision |trans-title= |language= | journal=JAMA |location= |date=1970-12 | volume=34214 | issue=212 |article= |page=2194 | pages=39-47 | url=http://www.ncbicirp.nlm.nih.govorg/library/general/pubmedfalliers1/13645790?dopt |archived=Abstract | quote= | pubmedID=136457905536586 | pubmedCID= | DOI= |accessdate=2021-11-17}}</ref> Even vibrations and bumps in car rides can stimulate the foreskin.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.reddit.com/r/uncircumcised_talk/comments/1j1y3dx/vibrations_from_bass/ |title=Vibrations from Bass |last=Anonymous |first= |init= |author-link= |publisher=Reddit | date=19592025-03-02 | accessdate=20192025-0903-1005

In a 2007 study, which was published in the British Medical Journal''BJU International''. They physically measured the sensitivity of all the parts of the [[penis]]. They used a very accurate pressure sensing probe while the test subject, who’s view was blocked with a screen, reported a sensation of touch. To demonstrate precision they took each measurement multiple times. To no surprise, their results corroborated with the neroneuro-anatomy that has been discussed previously.
