==Sensation==
Sorrels ''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">{{REFjournal
