What we don't know is how much its reduced by, because its hard to study and very few have had any interest in doing so. Denmark is, however, starting a landmark study which will include this question, as well as a possible link to erectile dysfunction with CC men, and we recently even had a study that suggests CC increases the risk of SIDS for boys.

This is not a scientific study. This is a review of secondary literature.
Firstly, nerve endings are not all equal. The nerve endings in the foreskin are not exposed. They are nerves that run through the length of the penis shaft and get stimulated by horizontal pressure on the shaft. Removing the "endings" makes no difference to the part of the nerve that remains.
Secondly, the scientific literature says that circumcision either has no effect on sexual satisfaction or increases it:

On average, 97% of circumcised men were satisfied with sexual intercourse and 92% rated sex as more enjoyable or no different after circumcision compared with before circumcision.

RESULTS:
Of 454 circumcised men, 362 (80%) returned for a follow-up visit 6 to 24 months after VMMC. Almost all (98%) were satisfied with the outcome of their VMMC; most (95%) reported that their female partners were satisfied with their circumcision. Two thirds (67%) reported enjoying sex more after VMMC and most were very satisfied or somewhat satisfied (94%) with sexual intercourse after VMMC. Sexual function improved and reported sex-induced coital injuries decreased significantly in most men after VMMC. There was an increase in the proportion of men who reported at least two sexual partners after VMMC compared with baseline. In multivariate analysis, having sex with a woman they met the same day (adjusted relative risk = 1.7, 95% CI = 1.2-
2.4) and having at least two sexual partners at baseline (adjusted relative risk = 0.5, 95% CI = 0.3-0.8) were associated with the outcome of any increase in the number of partners after VMMC.
CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS:
VMMC can be offered to Dominican men for HIV prevention without adversely affecting sexual pleasure or function. The procedure substantially reduces coital trauma.

CONCLUSION:
The highest-quality studies suggest that medical male circumcision has no adverse effect on sexual function, sensitivity, sexual sensation, or satisfaction.

CONCLUSION:
Both men and their partners can generally expect equal or improved sexual satisfaction and penile hygiene following VMMC. Future studies should consider innovative strategies to assist men in their efforts to abstain from sexual activities prior to complete healing.

Feel free to look up many more studies. I'm not cherry picking results:

The overall conclusion is that circumcision has a positive affect on male sexual pleasure as the foreskin is more prone to trauma during sex.
