Inconclusive?

Submitted by Ron Low (not verified) on 17 March 2008 - 9:38am.

To say the science on whether FORESKIN FEELS GOOD is inconclusive is to put too much stock in the reports that seem intended to downplay the value of the intact state.  For example, one widely publicized study claimed no difference between cut and intact, but they only tested at two spots on each organ and they didn't measure the foreskin itself at all (and they only had a sample of a few dozen). 

A much better study measured 17 standard spots on 100s of penises, including the foreskins of the intact, and the scar lines of the cut.  The 5 most sensitive parts were all on the foreskin and frenulum, and among the cut the most sensitive spot was adjacent to the scar. 

There simply can be no debate that circumcision removes exquisitely sensitive tissue including about half (that's 20,000) of the specialized pleasure receptive nerve endings.
