1. The nerve endings in the genitals responsible for sexual sensation have been a long-standing scientific mystery. Despite being a topic of great interest, scientists have yet to fully understand these nerve endings.
2. In 1860, a German neuroanatomist named Kraus discovered a type of nerve ending called the Kraus corpuscle in the penis and clitoris. This discovery sparked the belief that the Kraus corpuscle could potentially hold the key to understanding sexual sensation.
3. However, further research is needed to confirm whether the Kraus corpuscle is indeed the cellular basis of sexual sensation. The initial hypothesis has been questioned, and more studies are required to shed light on this phenomenon.
