→The legend of "20,000 nerve endings"
* '''[[beschneidung-von-jungen.de]]:'''
# "The [[foreskin]] contains 10,000 to 20,000 so-called specialized nerve endings of different types, ..."<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://www.beschneidung-von-jungen.de/home/beschneidung-und-sexualitaet.html |title=Beschneidung und Sexualität |last= |first= |accessdate=2021-09-01}}</ref> – not documented (not with Sorrel, [[Ken McGrath|McGrath]], Taylor, who only report more sensitivity than the [[Glans penis|glans]] from highly innervated tissue).
# " … a circumcised man actually loses many more than 1000 nerve endings. (About 20000 nerveendings)."<ref>https://www.beschneidung-von-jungen.de/home/medizinisches-grundwissen/anatomie-und-funktion-der-vorhaut/anatomie-und-ondere-komponenten-der-vorhaut/kleiner-schnitt.html</ref> - From the indicated source (Montagu A., Matson F. The Human Connection, NY: McGraw Hill, 1979), no 20,000 can be derived as the number of nerve endings. - The quoted quote is also incomplete: "15 U.S. quarters" are translated with "25-US-Cent coins" without the "15".<ref>See: http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:jfxXKByh1GQJ:www.noharmm.org/snip.htm+&cd=5&hl=de&ct=clnk&gl=de</ref>
# "Careful anatomical studies have shown that through circumcision [...] more than 70 m of nerves, and more than 20,000 nerve endings are lost."<ref>https://www.beschneidung-von-jungen.de/home/wichtige-trendumkehr-in-den-usa/wieso-schadet-die-beschneidung.html</ref> – The indicated source<ref>http://www.cirp.org/library/anatomy/bazett/ (THE CIRCUMCISION REFERENCE LIBRARY. ARCHIVES OF NEUROLOGY AND PSYCHIATRY, Vol. 27, Number 3: Pages 489-517, March 1932.)</ref> provides only "Conclusions". The number 20,000 did not appear until 1997 (see below).
