 Chapter Excerpt: What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Circumcision by Paul M. Fleiss, M.D. and Frederick M. Hodges, ...
Direct stimulation of the glans of the intact penis is most pleasant when the stimulus mimics the moist, massaging action of the foreskin.
The unfolding and refolding of the ridged mucosa over the glans allows all the erotogenic nerve endings to be stimulated, increasing sexual pleasure.
The corona of the glans contains scattered free nerve endings, genital end bulbs, and Pacinian corpuscles, which transmit sensations of pain and deep pressure.

 Neuroanatomy of the Penile Portion of the Human Dorsal Nerve of the Penis
The distinct pattern of innervation of the glans emphasizes the role of the glans as a sensory structure.
Vibratory stimuli applied to the glans penis induced ejaculation in men with spinal cord injury [13,14], supporting the concept that the DNP is the principal source of afferent excitatory drive to the BCM and ejaculation.
Whether the glans and the penile shaft are of equipotential value for the initiation of neural impulses during erection and sexual intercourse awaits further research, including more studies on genital receptors.

 Glans penis - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Yang and Bradley argue that "The distinct pattern of innervation of the glans emphasizes the role of the glans as a sensory structure".
Halata and Munger (1986) report that the density of genital corpuscles is greatest in the corona glandis,[11] while Yang and Bradley (1998) report that their study "showed no areas in the glans to be more densely innervated than others."[12]
Careful identification of the cause with the aid of patient history, physical examination, swabs and cultures, and biopsy are essential in order to determine the proper treatment.

 L Von Szalay - IndigoWiki
The first successful case of the construction of a clitoris utilizing the glans penis was described by Rubin in 1980 [2] (embrolyologically the clitoris and the glans penis are analogue structures, so the mutual substitution seems logical).
Under the pubic bone in the future position of the female orifice externum urethrae, the penile skin is split longitudinally and the glans penis is inset.
Although the clitoris is absent, a certain percentage of patients describe some degree of sexual satisfaction.

 Styles of circumcision
However, the glans, by being exposed more often during erection will become more robust and the owner may find additional ways to stimulate his manhood such as rubbing the glans directly, something which would have been almost painful before due to extreme sensitivity of an always covered glans.
The newly exposed portion of glans will still be moist and very sensitive and the contact/friction with the linen can be very annoying, sometimes unconfortable, and also embarassing when it results in erections in places where it would be noticeable (public transit for instance).
This is especially true of sufficient quanties of skin remain to allow foreskin to confortably remain over part of glans during erection since during erections the scar would not get some regular stretching.

 "The Circumcised Male Has Less Penis"
There may be a jagged end to the penis; there may be skin tags; the glans is lack-luster and leathery; the penis may bow, turn up, or veer to the side, whether this organ is flaccid or turgid.
Indirect stimulation of the glans is practically impossible after circumcision; instead the glans must be touched and stimulated directly.
The glans is no longer an internal organ and there is no way of protecting it from environmental objects that it was never meant to contact, e.g.

Thus, the glans is best stimulated to feel pleasure by a rolling massage action.
So then circumcision further reduces erogenous sensitivity in the penis by reducing skin mobility and thus the ability to use the foreskin to massage the glans.

 eMedicine - Phimosis and Paraphimosis : Article by Santos Cantu, Jr, MD
The main goal of each method is to reduce the foreskin to its naturally occurring position over the glans penis by manipulating the edematous glans and/or the distal prepuce.
This technique may be facilitated by the use of ice and/or hand compression on the foreskin, glans, and penis to help decrease the amount of edema prior to manual reduction.
This, as with all of the reduction techniques, requires a fair amount of patience and cannot be rushed.

The controls included intact infants who were damaged during the newborn exam when the physician willfully ripped their undeveloped foreskins from their undeveloped glans.

 Glans - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In non-technical or sexual discussions, often the word "clitoris" refers to the external glans alone, excluding the prepuce, frenulum, and internal body of the clitoris.
The glans (literally, Latin for acorn) is a structure internally composed of corpus spongiosum in males or of corpus cavernosa and vestibular tissue in females that is located at the tip of homologous genital structures involved in sexual arousal.
The glans naturally joins with the inner labia, and the frenulum of the penis or clitoris.
