Earp commented:
<blockquote>
With respect to the specific question of “sensitivity,” the latest findings are a lot less definitive than media reports are making them out to be (and they don’t even all point in the same direction as those reports are suggesting). As Bossio and her colleagues state at the end of their paper, “replication of this study is warranted with a larger sample size” and “associated conclusions should be interpreted as preliminary.”<ref name="earp2016" />

Earp concluded:
<blockquote>
In the meantime, a precautionary approach suggests that we should leave boys’ penises alone until they can assess the sensitivity of their own foreskins as compared to other parts of the penis—as well as their role in sexual experience more generally—in light of their own considered sexual preferences and values.<ref name="earp2016" />
