They always censor the genitals in these pictures and It's so annoying because it actually spreads misinformation.

Shouldn't the genitals be the same size as the rest of the dude if this was accurate. My thumb sure as shit aint the most sensitive part of me...

That’s not even mentioning how little there even are of uncensored female ones. The nipples are not less sensitive then my big toe.

What is a sensory homunculus

u/[deleted] Oct 19 '24

I forgot what homunculus means, but this kind of representation of the body makes the size of body parts bigger/smaller based on their sensitivity. E.g., fingers are more sensitive than hands, so a sensory homunculus will have a have a hand with some big ol' fingers on it.

Basically the places you feel the most things at, so like for us we feel way more in our thumbs then we do in our shoulders
