Please be sure to forward this on to your friends and family, we love being the source of some really awkward weekend conversation.

We’re talking about penises here, and more specifically whether or not getting that snip decreases the sensitivity of your love wand.

It’s long been the rallying cry of the uncircumcised to claim they got it good when it comes to having all the feels in the sack, but what does the Independent have to say on the matter?

New research has re-ignited the debate after scientists have suggested that circumcision in babies does not reduce penis sensitivity, despite previous claims to the contrary. The new research, reported in The Journal of Urology, studied 62 men between the ages of 18 and 37, of whom 30 were circumcised and 32 were non-circumcised.

Researchers tested penile sensitivity including tactile detection, warmth detection and pain threshold at multiple sites on their penises. They found no difference between the two groups.

Must have been a fun study for all involved – just how does one test tactile and warmth detection of the penis?

So what about performance in the sack then?

The men’s sexual abilities were also tested over the course of four weeks. Their intercourse satisfaction, orgasmic function, sexual desire and overall satisfaction were measured and no difference was found between the two groups.

Feel free to conduct your own tests at home guys and girls, although if you do email us your findings keep it classy.
