Talk:genital mutilation

"The ridged band is the primary area of male sexual sensitivity. The ridged band has a high concentration of meissners corpuscles (a type of neural receptor in the skin), which cause said sexual sensation. In cases of prepuce amputation, the absence of the ridged band causes greatly decreased sexual sensitivity, as well as qualitative changes in the sensation. In the absence of the ridged band, there is the loss of most male sexual sensation other than that which occurs during erection and ejaculation." This is simply false. I was circumcised for medical reasons at an age at which I was able to compare, and did not lose my sensitivity a single bit.
