Major study finds circumcised men experience 3x the orgasm difficulties

Behind a registration wall, here's the relevant findings:

Circumcised men were three times more likely than uncircumcised men to experience frequent orgasm difficulties which, according to an international expert panel, are either psychogenic or due to reduced penile sensitivity.[26] Robustness analyses showed that these difficulties of circumcised men were not explained by an excess of anxiety or depression in this group. This suggests that reduced penile sensitivity may, at least in part, explain the difference, a situation that has been recognized for centuries[27] and supported by recent neurophysiological studies.[25,28,29] The more frequent orgasm difficulties of circumcised men and their partners are not only a concern from a sexual pleasure perspective. The ability to achieve orgasm is a major determinant of overall sexual life satisfaction and marital satisfaction,[20,30–33] and persons who rarely experience orgasm may even be a group with increased overall mortality.[34]

Historically, reduced penile sensitivity was not an unintended side effect of circumcision. Medieval rabbi, physician and philosopher Moses Maimonides (1135–1204) stated that circumcision was required to 'cause man to be moderate', because circumcision 'weakens the power of sexual excitement' and 'lessens the natural enjoyment'.[27] In the 19th century, pre-occupation with the dangers of phimosis, masturbation and an ill-defined syndrome called spermatorrhoea gave rise to a series of preventive measures, including chastity belts, straight waistcoats, iatrogenic urethral inflammation and other measures to reduce sexual excitability.[35] These procedures eventually lost clinical relevance as circumcision grew in popularity to become the favoured method of preventing and treating the ill-regarded habit of masturbation.[36–41]

When my intact friend says that he can masturbate using one finger, and I'm furiously fapping away, you know there's a difference.
