It made me shudder to think of the process...

Most of them are pretty gentle LOL, it's a scary prospect though.

So, you don't enjoy sex and masturbation at all? Not trying to be belligerent here, but if you're having that intense of a reaction, then maybe you need to get some therapy regarding the situation.

Um NO. That's absolutely not what I said. It's just for cosmetic reasons, I have full stimulative ability. You have entirely missed the point.

I feel physically sick every time I remember I've had the most sensitive part of my male anatomy sliced off

Makes two of us, apparently. My point was that if you're that disgusted, you should consider seeking therapeutic help.

Oh I see; I should watch my hyperbole LOL

Have you seen the Pen&TelleR BS about Circumcision ?

Have you seen the Pen&TelleR BS about Circumcision ?

No I haven't?

omg see it now ;3;

Look up episode nmber on wikipedia then torrent it or rent it or something

Hell if you add me on Yahoo or something I can send it to you

Could you link me in a PM?

lol actually nvm, I found it x"D

OH GOD THOSE POOR BABY BOYS. D"8> Thanks for recommending it though, extremely informative. I always loved their show. :D

What it about?

It's all about circumcision; where it started, why it's so popular in America particularly, how it's performed, why certain groups advocate it for ridiculous reasons, etcetera. Also, they talk about restoration too toward the end.

It like talking politics, we really will never know.

I've heard of the procedure, but I've also heard that it can also cause some amounts of scarring. I'm not sure of the exact details there.

I'm pretty sure that gentle methods like taping cause little scarring, and more extreme measures like weights and surgery leave a lot more and supposedly work less effectively \:o It's what I've gathered researching it

don't worry, there are no scarring if done correctly, that guy is missinformed... if you saw that episode of penn and teller, then you see there is no noticeable scarring at all... anyways the tapes and all that takes a really long time, and you should not start with the weights and the heavy stuff right from the start, that will definitely cause scarring, those are only when you are already advanced in the process...

:O oh I see -- this is exactly what I wanted to find out! Thank you.

if you have any more questions I know quite a bit about the matter... I know a few procedures and wich is for starters and wich are for more advanced ones (T tape is one of the most common starters one) for more information you can look for the pages of the restoration organizations and such, they have a lot of more information.

Yes it can be stretched to cover the head again.

BUT, it takes a lot of determination an time to do..

So if your ready to be wearing tape an weights all the time for the next 2 or 3 years, you can fully stretch the foreskin back to it's original form.

It will make the head of the penis more moist an sensitive, however the super sensitive nerves in the foreskin will not grow back, an it will not slide like an intact foreskin would, as the special skin was removed in the cutting process, can't remember what it was called at the moment.

Yep, that's the biggest roadblock to actually doing it - the amount of time you have to do it consistently for. :O Oh and there's a very simple cosmetic surgery you can have done to restore the tapered shape of the very top of the foreskin once the regrowing is complete. :3 It only requires a very small removal of the skin.

I agree with you on every aspect. It should be noted, though. That sometimes during circumcision they are able to keep the frenulum intact. That'd be the nerve bundle where the head connects to the skin on the underside. That is the primary sensitive area. Well mine is, I don't know about yours. It still gives no excuse for circumcision to still be around.

The United States has the highest circumcision rate of any "civilized" country too... Ugh.

It's quite depressing considering what century we're in and how far ahead of us in almost every way Europe generally is. Fortunately for me I'm confident the frenulum on mine is still in tact >.< at least they left that, fuck.

Entirely depressing that we do surgical procedures with no medical need on unwilling participants.

I sort of resent the remark that somehow circumcision is "uncivilized" Honestly, if the parents wish to do it, it's within their right. No child at that age is traumatized by it, no matter WHAT anyone tells you. You don't remember anything from when you're that young. Hell, birth trauma is bad enough, no kid remembers the procedure. And you can't call the child an "unwilling participant" because the child doesn't have the ability to say no, and even if they could, it's up to the parents as the caretakers. The kid can't legally refuse.

I'm circumcised myself and I suffer no deficiency in my sex life, whether with another person or when I'm mastrubating.

So really, treating it like it's some horrible mutilation is just going overboard. How about you ask the people who have had it done first, before you generalize the whole thing.

Curiously, of course, why should uncircumcised really care that much?

It's usually the circumcised ones who go 'overboard' there, so I trust they have good reason for that. Still, circumcision without consent is something anybody 'civilized' would or should most likely consider something wrong. And what's with the logic that the baby just can't say no which makes it okay? Unborns can't object to abortion, so it should be pretty fine to do it, eh? Sarcastic remark there. Of course, the baby won't be traumatized (too badly) or at least won't be able to remember it. But how does that make it any better for the adolescent or adult at a later time? Sorry, but the simple fact that you can't say 'No' very much makes you an unwilling participant to many, many things. I do thing it actually is part of the very definition of 'unwilling'. How about you ask those circumcised ones who go overboard?

And no, doing something like this simply shouldn't be well within the parents' rights. Period. Even medical situations need to be very dire at such a young age that circumcision and not some other medical, non-surgical treatment is required. The health benefits are a plain lie. And considering that holding down an adult and forcefully cutting off his foreskin would perfectly qualify as abuse and/or mutilation - the only point that obviously makes it okay is that babies can't object to something that can't really be undone, despite all the restoration you might go through. And for some people it is very traumatizing, indeed. Later. Should we even start with the many things that can go wrong during a circumcision? How many people there are who have truly suffered from a botched circumcision - for the rest of their life or until they go through even more painful surgeries?

Being one of the dirty, silly Europeans, it certainly baffles me that, while North Americans uphold values like freedom of mind and speech, they so eagerly surrender or not care about them in regards to needless, surgical alterations at an age that they can't yet make decisions or object to them.

Oh, but don't get me wrong. I do like the look of a circumcised penis. And that's exactly the point. It should be done because you chose to do so and when you can choose. Because of the looks, erotic or sexual things or maybe even religious reasons. Whatever. The parents have the right to choose? What about YOUR right to choose? And where do you draw the line? A finger? An eye? A leg?

You know, a few centuries back, kids couldn't legally refuse sexual intercourse with horny, old men or women.
So please, just because you're okay with being circumcised and enjoy it, don't trivialize the whole thing.

I'm pretty sure you'd agree that forced female 'circumcision' is mutilation. But since that is mostly done to adolescents or even adults, it obviously is wrong. While forced male circumcision seems perfectly fine simply because it's done when they're still babies. It's wrong. It should be illegal. Period. (Situation over here? Doctors will refuse and very likely report to the authorities when they'd have to fear the parents might just go somewhere else for it. Bottom line is that such parents might even have taken their child away from them to simply ensure the child's safety and well-being. Worst-case scenario, but it can happen.)

Horrible mutilation? Maybe not. Forced, needless and without reason? Yes, certainly. And those who suffer in any way from it, might have all the right to call it mutilation and go a little overboard. Eh?
Simply don't do it. Those who still want it, can do so later. Those who don't, will be happy and intact. Easy enough. And nobody gets hurt.

The reason it's done when you're a newborn, is because it heals very quickly. As a child, you can get banged up something fierce, and have little to no marks or scars to speak of. I would know, my mother told me how much I'd ding myself up all the time

But, as an adult it takes much longer for something like that to heal up. So I'm sure the reason you don't see many, if any at all to begin with, getting a circumcision done later in life is probably because it's a much more costly procedure, and there are numerous complications that could occur then, moreso than what might happen when you're just born.

Also, the parents are doing what they think is best for their child. They don't have a circumcision done on a whim or just because the notion strikes their fancy. Whether it's for religious, or health reasons, or what not, the parents believe their child will be better off one way or the other.

And I'm not trying to trivialize. I just find the generalization and demonizing of the process frustrating. So forgive if I swing hard in the opposite direction. The subject tends to erk me with how much hyperbole gets spewed by it's opponents.

As opposed to the hyperbole and misinformed ramblings being spewed by its adamant supporters.

But honestly? In fact, I do think that many parents do it on a whim; "because everyone does it." And because doctors are as badly misinformed as many parents.
Of course, you can't really question the religious excuse there since doing so will only get the religious types on a rampage. Christians are an exception, though. They should actually and simply take the time to read the Bible for once, start to finish, before bitchslapping others with quotes from it that are supposed to back their point of view.

Health and hygiene reasons are quite frankly utter bullshit. Even phimosis does not always require circumcision, especially at such a young age.

I've yet to meet just one supporter of forced circumcision on infants that can come up with one valid reason that is not so utterly generalized itself.
But, of course, we're probably all wrong over here when doctors tell parents not to do circumcision without the dire need for it, after everything else has failed. When parents actually risk losing their child should they insist on doing it for no apparent reason. And yes, you're making it sound like a rather trivial thing: "Babies heal easily. Not a big thing. Best to get it done early on." What kind of excuse is that?

Obviously I also do swing hard in just the other direction.
Sorry, but it tends to erk me quite a bit, as well. Just one valid reason. Only one that isn't terribly generalized or misinformed and wrong. And I'll shut up. (Religion is exempt. See above.)

Out of curiosity: regarding yourself, how exactly are you better off?

I'm sorry. But the children literally experience shock immediately after circumcision. Infant's nervous systems are hypersensitive to the pain sensation; I'll get you a link to the scientific literature if you want it. Have you ever watched one performed? You can't possibly claim the infant isn't experiencing pain. Sure it doesn't leave permanent psychological scars, but how in the world does that justify doing that to a child? I'm sure if you abused a child that young in many other ways they'd stand to recover fully from it too.

And being circumcised, [assuming it was at birth] you have never been both sexually active and uncircumcised. Whether you are sexually functional has no relevancy to the cold hard scientific fact that the most sensitive part of the penis [check some sensitivity charts if you don't believe me] has been removed. And what are you talking about, ask people who have had it done?

-- I MYSELF have had it done to me! That was the point of this whole journal entry.--

I'm not sitting here generalizing anything at all. I posted this journal to ask other people about foreskin regrowth procedures and techniques, not to rebut people defending penis slicing so they can feel adequate. It doesn't matter at all that one can still get off with a penis that has a dried glans and a missing foreskin, that is not. Justification. And it is absolutely a damned human rights violation in every sense of the word. How much more can you violate someone than by removing a part of their genitalia when they have absolutely no ability to deny it?? It just doesn't get more personal than that.
Parents are quite free to rearrange their children's bodies as they see fit too, but that doesn't justify it in the slightest; neither do society's norms. I suppose tribes who slice off female clitorises which aren't necessary either aren't being barbaric because their cultures say it's fine? You are loosing something when you are circumcised, just like a woman who loses her clitoris, regardless of whether it's as dramatic a change, and regardless of whether she can still experience sexual pleasure satisfactorily. I don't understand why I'm having to argue this obvious point. How about you do some research next time before you decide to defend something?

For starters, the breast flattening/clitoral slicing is a myth. It does NOT happen.

Secondly, the only reason I commented is because other folks have decided to bring the whole 'down with circumcision' argument to the field. And it bothers me that I, as someone who is circumcised, is treated as though I've had something horrible done to me that should be treated like a crime and that I'm worthy of sympathy for apparently missing out on something that I didn't know I had. I mean really, I feel compelled to respond because if I don't, then I can't defend the fact that yes, I had it done to me, no, I don't mind it.

As for asking folk, I have plenty of friends who are circumcised, and quite happy with it. That's what I meant. You have this loud, outspoken group who claim they've been mutilated, when there's all kinds of people, who can say that they're just fine with it themselves. It bothers me that no one takes them into account. Whenever this argument arises, it's always the people who go on about how utterly wrong it is and stuff who are treated as right, and everyone else who tries to argue against them is wrong.

I don't need to do the research to defend my position. I have my own personal experience to back me up. I mean really you can toss all the scientific data and diagrams at me that you want, but when I can say that I've had it done to me, and that I'm okay and fine, and no adverse effects, is it really so wrong?

Please, stop living in a bubble.
I felt the need to forward your statement about female genital mutilation being a myth to some female friends - and, trust me, you better never cross their paths.
Only because you close your eyes very, very hand and pretend nothing happened, doesn't mean it really didn't happen. Again, stop living in a bubble.

You are perfectly free to enjoy and be fine with it. Like everyone else.

But after reading this:

I don't need to do the research to defend my position. I have my own personal experience to back me up. I mean really you can toss all the scientific data and diagrams at me that you want, but when I can say that I've had it done to me, and that I'm okay and fine, and no adverse effects, is it really so wrong?

There is little point in continuing this discussion with you. Because no matter what you are told, it won't make a difference.
Bottom line: No, you're not a bad person for being circumcised. I like the looks myself. But yes, indeed, maybe I do pity you. Not because you have lost your foreskin, but because you never had a choice and feel so strongly about defending something that is, time and again, proven to be something wrong without having anything of any substance to back you up, aside from your personal experience. And sadly, that's not quite enough to justify what is done to infants every day.

So what you're saying isn't that circumcision is right or wrong. Merely that you personally don't mind being circumcised. By the way, your group IS the outspoken majority in North America. A group who also take that personal statement too far by trying to make it an argument for circumcising the unwilling infants of the next generation. So what you don't mind. I mind. Are you going to force your position on other people?

I personally feel that I should not have been circumcised. Ever. The discomfort during sex and masturbation, as well as the clear division in sensitivity on either side of the scar tells me that there's something wrong. The design is flawed. There's mechanical inferiority to a circumcised penis. It makes me feel really really unpleasant feelings toward my parents and a society that condones such a practice. To the point that most of the time, to avoid a hardened bitter heart, I look away. I try not to think about it. Because of this willful ignorance, most of the time I'm fine with it. Because most of the time I tell myself that although it was another person's choices that forced me into this situation, I myself have two options. I can channel my passion to tell people how I personally feel about circumcision. Hopefully influence the social context around me to stop it. I can also take my passion and dedicate myself to foreskin restoration. Unless I'm willing to follow through on those options, it'd be better for me to just not obsess over it.

I think that's a valid thing. Many problems seem worse if they become a pink elephant. (An obsession) I think that telling people that they don't have to feel so bad about it all the time is a valid sentiment to hold. I think that a lot of the pro-circumcision standpoint comes from this position. From people who would just rather change their perspective than focus on the implications of their situation. To willfully ignore their situation. To just make lemonade out of the lemon. But the worst injustices are the ones we learn to bear.

I think that if you're a parent. You're weighing the choice to circumcise your child. If you do chose to circumcise, your child can either be fine with it, like you. Be ignorant like many people in a mostly circumcised society can be. Or be frustrated and angry with you, giving them reasons to resent you, rebel against you, and otherwise undermine your efforts to raise and educate them. The rational minded parent, the one unconcerned with the social reality of a mostly circumcised social context, the one who is not willing to physically or emotionally pressure their child into accepting their circumcised penis (because there is NO rational argument for the circumcision of the unwilling) would chose not to circumcise. Essentially circumcision is a needless procedure that makes more problematic situations than it solves. The design is flawed, and we should look elsewhere on issues of the male genitalia. It's such an extreme measure for some rather small issues.

The willfully ignorant will still resort to circumcision however. Because they just don't want to talk to their children about their dicks. Or because they want to go along with the social status quo that eases their ignorance.

Your are one IGNORANT human being. The atrocious sexual mutilations committed against woman in parts of Africa are not myths. And yeah know what? The fact that you are personally ok with you having been circumcised when you had NO say in the matter means HOGWASH to everyone else.

Oh, and yeah, you DO need to actually do research before you defend your position, cause otherwise you come off sounding like...ya know...stupid.

ER -- excuse me talking about myself in that passage, I forgot you were responding to another comment

Dude, the parent DON'T have the right to sexually mutilate there child. Its called human rights. Even newborns have them, and that includes the rights to their bodies. If they want to get a circumcision when they get older, after they make the conscious decision to do it, then that is great and their choice. But don't you dare try to justify sexually mutilating a newborn boy. Circumcision IS uncivilized, and it is a barbaric practice that needs to be put to an end, at least for those human beings who don't ever have a say in the matter.

It's just a piece of skin. I had mine removed before I was old enough to remember. If not for hearing about them, I wouldn't know what a foreskin was.

Just my opinion. *shrugs*

Dude, its NOT just a piece of skin. Its there for a reason and is provides much sexual functionality. Do your research before you post your opinions.

Sexual functionality?

Sure. Of course. But speaking practically, sex doesn't need to be pleasurable. It just needs to be able to provide reproduction.

Which, being the homos that we are, doesn't matter anyway XD

I don't really need to do that much research, because a lot of it is logical anyway. It's also very subject to opinions. If you really want accuracy about this topic you can just talk with people. Ask them what they know. I've talked to people both circumcised and uncircumcised and heard their opinions. I've heard circumcised people talk both about how they wish they had foreskins, and how they're glad they don't. But all I've heard from people who remember having their foreskins is how they had them removed for this or that reason. The one who still has his said he'll have it removed at one point or another.

I think... when I first came here it was to argue... right? It's been a few days... seems....


ah shit. Never mind. Happy Thanksgiving.

Uh yeah, sex DOES need to be pleasurable. Otherwise people wouldn't do it, and their would be no reproduction. And in the world today, Sex serves SO MUCH MORE than mere reproduction.

I'm sorry.

A few different techniques can help. T-Tape and pumping are the best methods, if I remember correctly.

I guess I'll just say that be absolutely sure that you want to do this. Cuz if you aren't then maybe you'll have to get circumsized again.
And yeah, sorry, I don't know anyone who has gone through the experience.

Oh hell yes am I sure, I prefer uncircumcised men myself. All circumcision is to me is a symbol of religious oppression, and as an atheist I have every motivation to be rid of it.

Just sayin'. xP I never really saw circumcision like that, it makes sense though.

Yeah ... I mean a while ago I was misinformed and thought it decreased AIDs transmission among other things, which just plain turned out to be untrue. Certainly our medical organizations would embrace it if this were at all true, which they have not. I can't see any other reason for it <:\

But if it already done to you when your a baby you can't really do anything about it.

No, there are skin growth stimulation techniques that can be used to extend the remains of the foreskin. x3 That's what I was discussing here - the growing of basically a substitute foreskin. It's true there's nothing you can do to restore the bundles of nerves that are removed during the process, there's no doubt about that. But you absolutely can regain the shape and appearance, which is what I'm after.

Pictures?

and SOME feeling, you get some feeling back... but like,1/4 of the real thing, it IS skin with nerves, so you do feel... and you said your frenulum is intact? well thats the most important part, cause its the part with the most sensitivity... and anyways is not only shape and appearance, but also it works as the real one, as in, do exactly what the real one does, it just may (and I say may cause most people going through restoration don't need any surgery to make it look like the real one, it already does for them) look different from the real one, wich isn't something a quick cosmetic surgery can't fix, of course, I haven't seen any pic of a non normal looking restored foreskin, they are just really loose, wich is a good thing if you are into docking and/or foreskin play...

I never even knew what a foreskin was until I was like... fourteen

I know!! I remember being super confused in middle school when I saw a guy who was uncircumcised peeing in a urinal. I was like WTF is with that weird skin?? I thought penises just grew differently on some guys or something.

This is interesting though, because my parents were both Catholic and hated it. Hence, I was raised as an atheist. So in my case, it had nothing to do with religion. I don't really think it's oppressive or anything either. I figure it's just a matter of preference.
I can honestly say I've never had a problem with being circumcised.

Yeah I can see that. The only reason I'm doing it myself is because I prefer it the other way around cosmetically. :3 I'm really frustrated with not even allowing children the option to keep it though, and all the machismo and bravado involved in the cultural phenomenon where I live where circumcised men try to enforce it as being vastly superior; and that's where I really take issue with it all.

What, seriously? That's ridiculous. I've never dealt with people like that.
To be fair though, I do live in south Florida, predominantly Hispanic and stuff.

Me too :D
I wondered that why mine has a different color 030

Circumcision is a disgusting practice and has no "true" health benefits. In fact they have done studies, they really only effect straight people, but the foreskin serves an important purpose in sex. During intercourse it has a bunching up effect (do not remember what the called it for the study), that helps insure all fluids stay in the vagina. For the small percentage of women who had abnormally dry vaginas having sex with people without foreskins usually ended up being painful, to dry. Even women without a dry vagina found sex with men with foreskin more pleasurable because, to over simplify, the bunching up provided different sensations during sex. I mean that sucks. Pretend you just found the love of your life (a woman), but during sex you find out it is painful for her because you have no foreskin. What are you supposed you supposed to say? "Sorry, my parents were jackasses. So, we can never have sex without a lot of lubricants and even then it will never be as pleasurable for either of us as it should be. Because I was unlucky enough to have my foreskin removed."

Yeah, it's just fucking deplorable in every sense of the word. It's the same exact type thing as those freakish tribes in Africa who flatten young girl's breasts with hot stones and slice their clitorises off. But gee, because this is America and we're all just so damn manly it's okay to do it to men. I will never understand America's gender double standards.

It causes the glans to get all callused and dried up too, so you don't get to feel as much sensation as you'd get to otherwise. Neither partner is able to get as much pleasure out of sex. That's the entire POINT of circumcision! Religions started up the practice to keep boys from pleasuring themselves. It's just fucking astonishing what other people will do to you, even as a goddamn infant, when they feel entitled enough.

Pardon my language, this just pisses me off endlessly. >.<;;

That depends tho. Was it because of religion they did it or science? It does go both ways, so can't blame it on just one. There have been other studies done showing that is is more better to be cut then uncut.

The science has a stance on it though. No medical organization in the US has advocated circumcision, which makes studies claiming benefits very suspect. And religion is absolutely to blame for the origin of the practice in the first place. It began from a passage within the old testament which claimed that the lopping off of the foreskin was a way to draw closer to god by drawing further away from sexuality. And it was enforced as an anti masturbation law. Science is not at all responsible for circumcision, but it can certainly be manipulated to attempt to justify it.

Ummm...I respectfully disagree. My folks are not religious and both me and my brother were cut. I know my dad is too, having sadly seen him naked once. I don't think you should generalize it so. I get a lot of pleasure out of sex. You can't say for certain that I get less than someone who's uncut just because people say there's a loss of sensitivity. It differs from person to person.

Honestly, the rampant generalization and demonization of the process is astounding.

If you look at diagrams depicting the sensitivity of the penis, the foreskin beneath the underside of the glans is the -most- sensitive part of the entire penis. The only part that compares is the opening of the urethra. The purpose of it is to keep the glans as an internal organ, which is evidenced by the obvious difference between the exposed glans which becomes dry and callused, and the protected glans which remains somewhat moist and smooth.
There is absolutely a loss of sensation; this was the original intent of circumcision. Now that doesn't mean that sex won't be at all pleasurable without it, it just means you have reduced sensation. You might still believe you find it just as satisfactory but scientifically speaking that's just the way the penis works; and assuming you were cut at birth, there's simply no way you could know what it would be like to have a foreskin in the first place. :<

And whether your parents were religious has no effect on the origin of the circumcision practice. There is also a direct correlation between the religiosity of a nation and this practice. I don't understand why anyone would be motivated to defend the practice of circumcision, especially on children, save for the denial that one has lost something.

Well, I haven't lost a darn thing. I'm only defending it because I don't want anyone speaking up for me, claiming I've lost something, or missing out on something I could've have had, when I'm just fine as is.

Also, measuring the loss of sensation isn't a perfect science. Is there really any way to tell whether or not I get any more or less sensation out of sexual stimulation than someone's who's uncut. Yes, the diagrams and research claims I have less sensation, but actual sensation itself can't really be measured or quantified. And I can tell you right now my glans are not dry or callused. If they were, I' be more concerned

And you're right, I can't know what it was like, since I was cut at birth. But I can state with much certainty that my sensitivity, when it comes to sex anyway, has not suffered for it.

Also, sure, no medical institution advocates circumcision, but I don't see them decrying it as a useless and baseless procedure either. Also, those same studies that claim the health benefits are suspect can't concretely say there are no benefits at ALL. Merely that it's unclear what benefits are gained.

There's a lot of methods you can try to restore your foreskin non-surgically, but for methods you have heard of or seen that are homemade are not smart to try, you'd be best going to a urologist about trying to get something to help you with it, and potentialy spare yourself of losing anymore sensation

o.o can you really just go to any old urologist about it?

uh... depends, as long as you don't go to a pro circ one, there are some restoration expert urologists...

most homemade procedures are the ones that urologists recomend, actually.

it works. totally worth it. you can go as far as you want.
for me, just regular rubber O-rings work just fine. i wear 3 #19s you can wear more to increase the stretch


other methods with taping, and inserts work great, way way faster. just a bit more work that's all.

;w; well that's encouraging! What kind of business would you go to to find these things though?? Would you go in to see a urologist to obtain them? This was what I was having lots of trouble figuring out lol

most of them can and are homemade, but there are some stores that sell devices wich helps the procedure and makes it faster... but most of them are for the people that are already far into the restoration, like the weights... not to mention they may be a bit unconfortable in your underwear...

There are ways to do it, but the only method I have seen is stretching to let the skin grow. I am afraid I dont know much about. I too want my foreskin back, a lot in fact. haha

Circumcision...bloody Jewish doctors *shrugs*

Owen, the place you're looking for is http://norm.org/, "National Organization of Restoration for Men". It has a lot of resources on ways to repair stuff. I'm not circumcised so I don't have any personal experience, but I've been told they're pretty legit by guys who used them.

Stupid formatting. http://norm.org/ There.

Oh yeah :3 I've already been all around their site. I posted the journal just to see what methods tended to work well or be easier than others, thank you though!

i personaly hate people are tearedoff from that pleasure:. i wish you everything will go well for you with restoring it but be carefull , dont do more good by accident then they did , consult some profecionals before you start anything

<xD oh I plan to! I'd never start trying to medically alter my junk after just consulting the internet. That could only end in disaster.

mhm , i love my foreskin and love all foreskin art on FA , somehow i feel bad for you x.x i hope it works well for you

Interesting ... okay, I could understand an adult man deciding to getting a circumcision in the specific case that he gets frequent yeast infections due to a medical condition. Cleaning on the other hand? Not a valid excuse at all, that's just laziness! You should be cleaning your genitals regularly anyway. But strictly speaking, the adult man should be the one making the call at the time when the problems arise; otherwise who knows whether you'd be dealing with that at all? That's my take on that. |3

I started using the TLC tugger and saw really good results after a few months. I got lazy so I haven't finished but I definitely saw improvement after the first week/month/few months. I've seen some really nicely restored ones. Go for it. :)

hear of it my self, one lucky few did't sniped there.

What a lovely opinionated piece I didn't ask for. I didn't post this journal so I could argue about whether YOU feel adequate without your foreskin or not, or whether you're comfortable with infant dick-chopping.

Yeah, four days later I'm not sure what that was all about.

I didn't think I'd actually be saying this seriously, but sorry for opening my mouth. It was in very bad taste.

lols oh well, I've totally done that more than once :x

Too often I forget that my duty is to tell the truth - when necessary - and not go spouting my own opinions

*looks at my own cut cock* ......... Meh. No big deal really. I can still fuck with it.

I've heard that anything but the surgical procedures are kinda dangerous, and even the surgery results are not always satisfactory.

Also, there isn't a whole lot of proof that the foreskin is as sensitive as most believe, as there's really no reliable studies on the subject (given that it's something that's very hard to test). It's mostly medical speculation, and those studies that have been done have come up with mixed results.

And please don't get me wrong, I'm by no means advocating for circumcision, I'm strongly against it. I'm just trying to say that maybe you're not missing as much as you think you are. I mean, it's better to focus on what you do have then what you can't get back, yeah?
