Changes

The range of functions of the ridged band remains uncertain but it is deeply corrugated, rich in distortion-sensitive [[Meissner's corpuscles]] and subject to the movement of muscularised shaft [[shaft skin]] during sexual intercourse. It now seems that the concertina-like ridged band might be reflexogenic as much as fine-touch sensitive. Initial study (J.R.T. unpublished) indicates that the real importance of the ridged band to sexual intercourse lies in an ability to trigger a reflex contraction of muscles responsible for ejaculation.<ref name="taylor2007A">{{REFjournal
