    Shouldn’t be removed in the first place, outside of medically necessary procedures.

    Thanks, i got used to Not having One since having surgery for phimosis when I was little. Good to know there’s an option for people who want to have it restored. Options are always good:)

    Been doing this on and off for years, definitely works but the process is slow. Especially when you aren’t consistent. I have thought about starting a community for it if anyone is interested.

        Totally! Once you can get the stretched foreskin skin to stay over you glans regularly the glans skin starts to become more soft and sensitive from not rubbing on fabric.

        Masturbation is more fun too since there is more skin to move around.

        I am really enjoying the feeling. I think if I was consistent I would be fully restored in about two years from now, but I am not so I am giving myself five to be done fully.

        I started this process when I was in my early 20s and would be done by now if I had just stuck with it.

    i know this is a thing, but i really don’t understand the why. like, is it an aesthetics thing? is it something done as a sort quiet protest against the practice of circumcision as a whole? something else?

      Circumcision is abuse. Only rarely is it a medically sane practice. The glans basically becomes calloused, why would anyone want that?

      Foreskin restoration is a way to return to a more normal state, with a softer and more sensitive glans. That is the reason people want to restore.

      Circumcision removes a lot of the sensitive tissue, making it harder for a man to climax, especially while masturbating.

      It’s done primarily by religious loons to ‘keep men from committing sin’, since they believe the only way a man should ever climax is during penetrative sex with a woman. But even then a circumcised man will feel less pleasure than an uncircumcised one.

      So this is primarily done to get some of the feeling back, both to be able to masturbate easier and to have greater pleasure during sex.

    Husband restored his over the course of a year. Can confirm, it does work… to an extent. One caveat is that he has to wear a retainer day and night, as the stretched skin doesn’t cover the head unless pulled into place with the retainer.

      So it’s not your cup of tea, doesn’t mean you have to get judgemental over it.

      The cruel part is that the people that are circumcised don’t get to choose for themselves.
