Does touching the penis while performing ghusl (ritual bath) after major ritual impurity invalidate the wudu (ablution) taken beforehand?

The majority of scholars hold that touching the male organ nullifies ablution. Therefore, if a person performs ablution during (ritual bath) and then touches his male organ during the ghusl, his ablution becomes invalid. However, this does not affect the validity of the ghusl itself.
