[Circumcision does not harm sensitivity.](http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=571&ncid=751&e=1&u=/nm/20030429/hl_nm/circumcision_sensitivity_dc) [quote] NEW YORK (Reuters Health) - Circumcised men appear to have the same degree of penis sensitivity as men who are uncircumcised, a new study suggests – in a finding that will probably just add fuel to the fire of a controversial subject debated for years. [But, just in case it did, maybe scientists can grow you a new penis, with feeling!](http://www.newscientist.com/news/news.jsp?id=ns99993672) > [@](#): > > Tissue engineers who recently demonstrated penis replacement in animals have now added a vital missing component - nerve cells. > > “The nerve cells are very important - they are responsible for all the sensory function,” says Anthony Atala, at Boston Children’s Hospital. “In order to do complete [penile] replacements we need to make sure all of the parts are there, including the nerves.” Mr. Happy really is. 😃 ---

The plural, I’ve always thought, of penis should be _peni_. Any whoo, **Beagle** I am happy for your penis. It obviously means alot to you. Have you sent it flowers lately? ---

I know i am going to start something,i know it… But wouldn’t it be logical to argue that missing tissue=less sensitivity? If my ear lobe is missing i can still feel sensation on my ear,but not the lobe since its not there. Go ahead and rip me to shreds,i can take it 😃 ---

Is the state gonna crack down on supermarkets,oh c’mon you think most people buy zucchini,cucumbers,and carrots to eat them? The lawmakers in Alabama are on to the scam,oh yes. I expect a act such the PFB(phallic foods ban) to be introduced anyday. ---

Whaddaya mean, it’s a great day for penises? (I prefer pl. _penii_, btw.) Nothing exciting’s happened to mine so far today! (Hey, my wife’s not a morning person. :)) Besides, I don’t need a scientist to tell me that my joystick feels just fine, thanks. 😃 ---

Sure, my penis means a lot to me. We’re not dealing with sideburns here. He’s not swayed with flowers. But, he’s happy that being a crew neck is as wonderful as being a turtleneck. Otherwise, he was lobbying for a bionic foreskin. ---
