I'm wondering whether Harmen, with his experiments ( walking around with his foreskin retracted ), caused some irreversible loss of sensitivity to his glans?

How sensitive is a normal glans, by the way? What does it take for you, Ralesk, to feel pain there? Mine hurts if it touches the clothes.

>This is one of the most important things that restoration gives to the people; for we know, neural loss cannot be restored with current technology, so that part of the sensitivity is gone until someone invents some method for growing new nerves.
