In a 2007 study, which was published in the ''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 [[uncircumcised]] 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"/>
