These remarkable organs provide the [[foreskin]] with its amazing ability to detect the slightest sensations of touch, motion, temperature, and pressure. We are still unaware of all the facts about these fascinating structures. Future research may discover even more nerve receptors in the foreskin and help clarify what purposes they serve. The primary zones of erogenous sensitivity are the [[frenulum]], [[ridged band]] of [[Preputial mucosa|mucosa]], and the preputial orifice and the external fold of the [[foreskin]]. All of these zones are orgasmic triggers. Continuous gentle stimulation of any one of these areas can elicit pleasure, [[erection]], orgasm, and ejaculation. Some men report that simple retraction of their foreskin causes [[erection]].
[[Bud Berkeley| Berkeley]] (1993) reported that the [[foreskin]] hangs quietly without generating much sensation until motion occurs, when it comes alive with pleasurable sensations.<ref>{{REFbook

In a 2007 study, which was published in ''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 neuro-anatomy that has been discussed previously.

The nerves and other structures mentioned in this article are largely missing on the [[circumcised]] [[penis]]. Moreover, it is more difficult to stimulate the circumcised penis because of the lack of [[gliding action]].
 
[[Foreskinned]] men who elect to be [[circumcised]] frequently report very substantial loss of sensation after [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]] and may become [[regret men]].

[[Jonathan A. Allan| Allan]] (2024) reviewed the medical literature and the various sex manuals. He found a serious discrepancy between the medical literature, which does not find increased sexual sensation in the foreskin, and the sex manuals, which report a very substantial increase in sexual sensation when the [[foreskin]] is present.<ref name="allan2024">{{REFbook

==Preliminary report from survey of circumcised, restoring, and intact men==
[[C4Charkey]] has published the first results from the first 250 men surveyed were reported on 27 July 2025 in graph and text form. The findings overwhelmingly indicate the superiority of the erogenous sensation of the [[intact]] [[penis]] and the satisfaction enjoyed by the intact males as compared with [[circumcised]] males and [[restored]] males.<ref>{{REFweb
