Study: Circumcision Removes Most Sensitive Penis Parts
According to Live Science, Morris Sorrells of the National Organization of Circumcision Information Resources Center and fellow researchers mapped out a "penis sensitivity map" by measuring the sensitivity of 19 locations on the penises of 159 male volunteers. Out of the 159 participants, 91 of the people were circumcised as infants and surprisingly, the data showed that none had a history of penile or sexual dysfunction.
According to the researcher's findings, the most sensitive region of a male penis is the circumcision scar on the underside of the penis. For uncircumcised penises, the most sensitive areas were five regions that were normally removed during the circumcision procedure. All five of these regions were more sensitive than the most sensitive part of the circumcised penis.
The surgical process is practiced in several different countries including the United States. It is done for medical as well as cultural reasons throughout. Scientists studying sexual diseases agree that circumcision at a young age offers a degree of protection against contracting infections and sexual diseases. Recent studies have shed new light on this protective ability of circumcision, and researchers have stated that the procedure can lower the risks of HIV infection up to 60 percent in sex between males and females.
