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]].
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]].

==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
