Winkelmann (1959) identified the [[Foreskin| prepuce]] and the [[glans penis]] (where Meissner's corpuscles are found) as ''specific erogenous zones''.<ref name="winklemann1959">{{REFjournal |last=Winkelmann |first=R.K. |author-link= |title=The erogenous zones: their nerve supply and significance |journal=Mayo Clin Proc |date=1959-01-21 |volume=34 |issue=3 |pages=39-47 |url=http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/winkelmann/ |quote= |pubmedID=13645790 |pubmedCID= |DOI= |accessdate=2020-10-27}}</ref> 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
