Handler & Ginty (2021) described four types of  low-threshold mechanoreceptors (LTMRs) found in glabrous skin — the Merkel cell complex, Meissner corpuscle, Pacinian corpuscle, and Ruffini ending.<ref>{{REFjournal

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.

"Five locations on the [[foreskinned]] [[penis]] that are routinely removed at [[circumcision]] were more sensitive than the most sensitive location on the circumcised penis[...] The [[glans]] in the [[circumcised]] male is less sensitive to fine-touch pressure than the glans of the [[uncircumcised]] male[...]The most sensitive location on the circumcised penis is the [[circumcision scar]] on the ventral surface [...]  When compared to the most sensitive area of the [[circumcised]] [[penis]], several locations on the [[uncircumcised]] penis that are missing from the [[circumcised]] [[penis]] were significantly more sensitive."<ref name="FineTouchPressure"/>
