From the article:

ICGI director Dan Bollinger, who in the past has called circumcision "parental-elected penile reduction surgery," pointed out that the researchers did not measure the sensitivity of the foreskin, which previous research had said was the most sensitive area.

"All of us in the movement are rather surprised that this even got published," he said.

He points to a recent study published in the British Journal of Urology, which showed uncircumcised men had four times more sensitivity, as a better measure.

I am not surprised the article was published. A couple of years ago, my wife and I underwent a serious re education regarding this topic. Suffice it to say that our son is not circ'd as a result.

But it never ceases to amaze me how strongly the reaction to this is .... most especially, among women.

What is that, some kind of demonic torture instrument?

That's a Wartenberg wheel. It's used in testing for neurological response - honest, it's a real medical instrument.

It's also popular within the S&M community for reasons probably best left to the imagination...or so I'm told...

“Great News!!! By the way, how does one sign up for a study like that?”

Why wait to sign up? I’ve been conducting my own study for years. I still need a lot more research.

Good thing the neuro I used to see never had that, or I would've gotten the h- outta there.
