Winkelmann (1959) identified the [[Foreskin| prepuce]] and the [[glans penis]] (where Meissner's corpuscles are found) as ''specific erogenous zones''.<ref name="winklemann1959">{{WinkelmannRK 1959}}</ref>
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>
Most [[intact]] men note that movement of the [[foreskin]] produces a pleasurable sensation.<ref name="garcía-mesa2021" /><ref name="berkeley1993">{{REFbook
