Sorrells ''et al.'' (2007) conducted a fine-touch study of the penis of both circumcised and intact men. Sorrells ''et al''. concluded:
<blockquote>
In conclusion, circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis and decreases the fine-touch pressure sensitivity of glans penis. The most sensitive regions in the uncircumcised penis are those parts ablated by circumcision. When compared to the most sensitive area of the circumcised penis, several locations on the uncircumcised penis (the rim of the preputial orifice, dorsal and ventral, the frenulum near the ridged band, and the frenulum at the muco-cutaneous junction) that are missing from the circumcised penis were significantly more sensitive.<ref>{{Sorrells etal 2007}}</ref> <ref>{{REFjournal |last=Sorrels |first=Morris |init= |author-link= |last2=Snyder |first2=James |init2= |author2-link= |last3=Reiss |first3=Mark |init3= |author3-link= |last4=Eden |first4=Christopher |init4= |author4-link= |last5=Milos |first5=Marilyn |init5= |author5-link=Marilyn F.
