I can't find it now, but through autopsies of more than 20 cadavers of uncircumcised men, they found that 35% of all nerves in the penis are in the foreskin. So, your (mine too) nerves have been severed. Below is an explanation on how those nerve endings become deadened, and nerveless skin cells form causing less sensitivity.

From:
http://www.noharmm.org/shanley.htm


"Sexual sensitivity is decreased when a boy is circumcised. The foreskin contains many nerve endings which of course are destroyed when it is removed. However, the exposed glans is also affected. According to Dr. Dean Edell, over 75% of the glans near surface nerve endings are destroyed in the years following circumcision by friction between the glans and clothing. Layers of nerveless skin cells, at least ten times thicker (and therefore less sensitive) than the normal glans surface, are grown by the denuded glans to protect itself."

I would suspect that the area you are talking about has less rubbing on clothing than other areas, and may still contain some exposed nerve endings. If you search on circumcision, and Dr. Dean Edell, you will get loads of just great information on the downside effects of having the end of one's penis cut off. He is Jewish and his first son was circumcised, but he left his next two boys intact.

It is generally females who are in favor of circumcision (getting even with men?) or males who just don't know the difference or that there could even be a difference. There is no medical reason for this procedure.
