Just the other day my friend, who is also a father, was over, and we were hanging out in the front room while I was holding Oria. With a smile I said out loud, “OH! Oria has to go to the bathroom!” So I took her over to the kitchen sink, I helped her to pee and then I came back. My friend looked at me in astonishment and asked if I made it to the sink in time.

Intact men enjoy four times more penile sensitivity than circumcised men, according to the “Fine-touch Pressure Thresholds in the Adult Penis” article published today in the British Journal of Urology International. The study was conducted to map fine-touch pressure thresholds of the adult penis in circumcised and noncircumcised males to compare the two populations. Researchers measured fine-touch sensitivity of the penis at 17 specific sites on the intact (non-circumcised) penis and the remaining 9 sites plus two scar sites on the circumcised penis. The results surprised the research team, according to Morris Sorrells, MD, lead researcher, who said, “The most sensitive part of the penis is the preputial opening. The [...]
