Researchers at the University of Santiago de Compostela have conducted the most detailed neuroanatomical study of the penis, finding that the frenular delta on its underside holds the highest concentration of nerve endings and sensory structures. This triangular area, where the head meets the shaft, may function as the male G-spot. The discovery highlights potential risks from circumcision procedures that damage this zone.
