I have a high and tight circumcision and would not like it any other way. None of my friends or relatives have ever been diagnosed to have keratinization of the penis and I will allow my frenulum to be touch anytime someone would like. BTW - all of us were circumcised as infants (we have no memory of the procedure), the degree to which our frenulums developed varies but it is a primary area for stimulation just like uncut guys. You also allege that one's frenulum is " full of nerve endings" and you "feel
pity for the men who are extremely tight circumcised and had their frenulum removed." Therefore, one can infer from your allegations that:
1) Foreskin Lovers really do fuss and worry about the underwear that we circ'd guys wear...right down to the "fabric". The fuss is much like women making play clothes out of curtains. I like my underwear and if they rub me until I have an erection.....Cool!
2. Keratinization - the process in which the cytoplasm of the outermost cells of the vertebrate epidermis is replaced by keratin. Keratinization occurs in the stratum corneum, feathers, hair, claws, nails, hooves, and horns. I suppose that if you are looking for a picture of a circumcised penis with keratinization, you will find one after which you will then conclude that
all cut males will have keratinization. Not true! Similarly, if I see a picture of an un-circumcised penis with a 2-inch elephant trunk, foreskin overhang ...therefore, all uncut guys must look this way. Again, these Foreskin Lovers seem to infer that all penis' will fall on a Penis Sensitivity Scale with the beloved un-circumcised penis (with as much foreskin as you can stuff into your trouble-free underwear plus a frenulum just "full of nerve endings") being the Best of Class and, of course. st the other end of the scale is the Most Aesthetically Beautiful RIC'd penis covered with the assumed incurable Keratinization.

Circumcision does not appear to influence sensitivity of the
penis, according to a new study of the subject.
Clifford B. Bleustein, MD, with the department of urology at Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York, "and this is a scientific way of trying to answer that question," he tells WebMD.
Bleustein and colleagues presented their findings at the annual meeting of the American Urological Association.
To evaluate the effects of circumcision on sensitivity, the researchers used specialized instruments to test 36 circumcised and 43 uncircumcised men with or without a history of
erectile dysfunction. They tested each man for level of sensitivity in the penis through vibration, pressure, and warm and cold temperatures. In uncircumcised males, the foreskin was retracted for testing.
Initially, decreased sensation was demonstrated in uncircumcised men for feeling temperature and vibration. But when they took age,
hypertension, and
diabetes into account, they saw no difference in the sensitivity measure between circumcised and uncircumcised men. In addition, "Our study shows that there were no differences in terms of penile sensitivity, either in men that have normal function and in those who have
erectile dysfunction," says Bleustein.
