Sorrells ''et al.'' (2007) used a Semmes-Weinstein monofilament touch-test to map the fine-touch pressure thresholds of the [[penis]]. The areas most sensitive to fine-touch were the tip of the [[foreskin]] the mucocutaneous junction, the [[ridged band]], and the [[frenulum]]. These areas correspond to the location of Meissner's corpuscles. (These areas are not found on the circumcised penis.)<ref name="sorrells2007">{{Sorrells etal 2007}}</ref> | |||
