Van Howe's research includes a study published in 2007 in ''BJU International''. The study reported that the five most sensitive points on the human [[penis]] were all in areas of it that are removed by circumcision<ref>{{REFnews

Critics of this study have noted that it was funded by the [[National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers]] (NOCIRC), an anti-circumcision activist group. Van Howe maintains that this funding did not bias his study, telling ABC News, "The study was based on an objective finding" and "There's no way you can change what a person felt or didn't feel."<ref>{{REFnews
