# The heavily innervated [[ridged band]] is located on the foreskin and is always amputated along with the foreskin. The most sensitive regions in the intact penis are those parts ablated by circumcision.<ref>{{Sorrells et al. etal 2007}}</ref> There is great loss of sensation caused by the amputation of this structure. It appears that many intact males are unaware of the source of sensation and are shocked by the loss of sensation after circumcision.
# The abundance of skin in the foreskin allows [[gliding action]]. Gliding action facilitates [[masturbation]] and [[vagina| intercourse]]. The shortening of penile skin reduces or eliminates gliding action. The loss of gliding action may cause [[dyspareunia]].
# Painful erections may occur due to lack of sufficient skin to allow for expansion of the penis.
