John Taylor publishes online newsletter
In the most recent issue of his newsletter, Dr. John R. Taylor proposes that the nerve endings in the glans "respond to internal pressure changes as much as to erogenous or deep touch." Dr. Taylor takes a revolutionary approach to glans function in his trademark understated fashion. Note that at the bottom of the Web page, (male) visitors are invited to do a simple test.
