Why are you using a pressure threshold graph to demonstrate which bits feel good? My arm has a lot of receptors. It’s probably blue on the graph. It must feel fantastic. And my eyelids? God, they’re so red. I’m off to go stab them. (Because I’ve been shown so many dick pics.)

The point here is: The foreskin has a much higher density of fine touch receptors than other areas, other sensitivities (like temperature) are basically the same. If you don't think that touch sensitivity is for sexual pleasure then what IS it? Where does pleasure come from?

It’s just a high density of nociceptors. They respond easily to touch and remind you not to hit that spot. They’re the wrong type of receptor.

Do you have some kind of citation to back up this claim? Still not answering the question of "what mechanism does respond to touch with pleasure then?"

A very specific kind of touch receptor that is not found in regular skin (like the foreskin) but is found in and just around the gland. They aren’t nociceptors. Those detect pressure and register as pain. They are closer to the surface in thin skin.

Remember the foreskin isn't just skin, on the outer surface yes it is very much like the rest of the skin of the body, but it has the inner surface too, and it's here where we say the sensitivity is.

I can also speak from personal experience as an openly gay man, though my sample size isn't huge the results are very clear, partners who were circumcised as infants are much less sensitive than those who were intact, and even the single partner who had an adult circumcision>>

2> was far, far more sensitive than any of those who were cut at birth. It could be that there are long term sensitivity issues from circumcision, or the cut done so early causes issues with development of the pain/pleasure centers of the brain, or the penis. I don't really know.

I'd like to also point out that most of my partners were circumcised in the decade and a half since I was first sexually active, by a pretty wide margin, of those all but one were circumcised as infants before they had any medical issues that could have needed circumcision >>

2> that's how pervasive it is in the culture, and this is Canada, not the USA, our rate is lower than theirs, in Australia infant circumcision is in single digit percent I think, here it's a third, USA it's half.

Roughly 20% in Australia. Our rates have been dropping though.

RCAP reported the number at 4% in 2017 I thought? It was about 15% in 2007 too but my info may be way off base.

To be fair, my numbers may have been old ones. If it's down to 4%, I'm even happier.
