In the those days, just the very tip of the foreskin was cut off. Michelangelo's painting of Paul in the Sistine Chapel illustrates the minimal circumcision of the time. Nowadays clamps are used that pulls the specialized nerve saturated foreskin taunt and cuts the maximum possible off. I dont expect you to comprehend this; after all you think foreskin is like fingernails. >>
Yes, there has been considerable research done and ongoing on this topic. My husband would qualify under the "old" type of circ you mentioned(embarrassing to mention;-) which left all of the sensitive underneath part of the foreskin intact(frenulum?). The ones performed nowadays, and we have many boy cousins I watch and therefore have to change, completely remove that portion to which is most sensitive for men. In fact, I think besides not recommending circ, doctors are moving back to procedures that don't so drastically remove the foreskin and are more careful to leave the frenulum intact. I think you are right on though, PJ doesn't know much about this topic and probably does not even know which part of the penis that he may or may not be missing;-)

p.s. Checking your (and my former) state flag (Ohio), I notice that it has been circumcised (really). Is this the cause of the obsession?
