→Fine-touch sensitivity
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 [[uncircumcisedforeskinned]] 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"/>
