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>

===Sexual behavior===
Laumann ''et al''. (1997) report that men who lack a foreskin "engage in a somewhat more elaborated set of sexual practices than do men who are not circumcised. For each of the practices examined, lifetime experience of various forms of oral and anal sex and [[masturbation]] frequency in the past year, circumcised men engaged in these behaviors at greater rates. The difference between circumcised men was greatest for [[masturbation]] - ironically, a practice that circumcision was once thought to limit. A total of 47% of circumcised men reported masturbating at least once a month vs 34% for their [[uncircumcised ]] peers."<ref name="laumann1997>{{REFjournal

Cold & Taylor (1999) commented, "The increased frequency of [[masturbation]], anal intercourse and fellatio reported by circumcised men in the USA may possibly be due to the sensory imbalance caused by circumcision. Clearly, amputation of the prepuce causes changes in sexual behaviour in human males and females."<ref name="cold-taylor1999" />
Frisch ''et al''. (2013) surveyed the sexual function and behavior of a large group of intact and circumcised men in [[Denmark]]. They reported that "circumcised men were more likely (38%) than [[uncircumcised ]] men (28%) to report ≥10 sex partners."<ref name="morten-lindholm2013">{{REFjournal

Moses Maimonides, a Jewish rabbi and physician, stated in the 12th century:

According to the Rabbi Isaac ben Yedaiah, who lived in Southern France in the late 13th century:
<blockquote>
''She too will court the man who is [[uncircumcised ]] in the flesh and lie against his breast with great passion, for he thrusts inside her a long time because of his foreskin, which is a barrier against ejaculation in intercourse. Thus she feels pleasure and reaches an orgasm first. When an [[uncircumcised ]] man sleeps with her, and then resolves to return to his home, she brazenly grabs him, holding on to his genitals and says to him, "Come back, make love to me." This is because of the pleasure that she finds in intercourse with him, from the sinews of his testicles—sinew of iron—and from his ejaculation—that of a horse which he shoots like an arrow into her womb. They are united without separating, and he makes love twice and three times in one night, yet the appetite is not filled.''<ref name="saperstein1980">{{REFbook
