not sure if this counts as body modification or body de-modification I have restored my foreskin from looking obviously cut to where it could pass as intact, as in the skin sat behind the glans although a little bunched up before, now it will hang over the end on it's own most of the time, I'm still not done but I really like how it's turning out I really started as more of a human rights thing, as it was my body and I didn't want it modified in that way, not that a lot of people would see it but that I would feel that I won in the end, but I have pleasantly gained some sensitivity as well as a much different sensation, I couldn't imagine going back and I have a much healthier looking glans now. the technique is quite simple, get something to grab the skin: tape or tapeless device, attach to elastic and keep stretched, it's been a little less then a year so far noticed there is no thread for this yet, what do you all think? I realize to many americans this may be a slap in the face to your beliefs but keep in mind, it's job is to be a protective covering, it is there for a reason after all
there are many methods depending on what works best for you manual can be done just by manually stretching it out and holding it several times a day every day, results can take a long time but it is doable I am tugging on it all day everyday by use of an elastic strap, a little annoying at first but once you get used to it you won't notice or you can tug any combination of hours, some people argue the more you tug the better, some say a few minutes a day is all it takes, you can google "foreskin restoration forum" for arguments from all sides
I have just been using vitamin E oil/lotion whenever it gets dried out, seems to work for me, I don't have any stretch marks, but I use it so occasionally it may not be necessary
I have gained back sensation, plus the glans looks a lot healthier now, not as dried out looking, having the skin glide is a HUGE advantage and need no lube most of the time, when before it was a necessity, and masturbation is so much more enjoyable, not so much of a workout referring to masturbation as it's easier to explain, but same principles work for sex: Think about in this way, when cut you have to either slide the hand down the shaft creating friction or massage a small area, when restored I just slide the skin tube up and down, fingers stay in the same place, the skin just glides, the foreskin I have regrown is not a remarkable amount it barely covers when in the most flaccid stage, but erect I can still place my fingers in one spot and slide the entire length holding the same point of skin, hence no need for lube the same works for sex for the most part, on the out strokes cut lube would get caught behind the glans and removed from the vagina, restored the lube gets caught between the foreskin and the glans ready for the next in stroke to be lubed
why would you ever cut it in the first place if you want it? damn...thats why im still proper down there.... plus, theres no reason for it these days. they used to think the foreskin helped cause infections, but thats untrue
wasn't my choice, I was denied that right, it's a truly horrible thing that americans think it's tradition, genital mutilation is a tradition America can do without
I have to agree. It is truly horrible that so many men have no say in it. Since it's done often when the male is still an infant, there's no possible way for the child to gain knowledge regarding circumcision or the benefits of having foreskin. Thank you so much cloud7 for sharing this information.
I also believe like "cloud" that this act is a barbaric practice here in the USA. If the person were "of age" and chose to get cut that would be a whole nother story. It's the baby who has no choice in the matter that is wrong. It's the same as getting a large tattoo on a 6 month old baby. Surely that would be illegal here. I am also in support of men restoring their foreskin. It really works and those men do develop sooo many more sexual feelings as they get their foreskins back. They can achieve full body climaxes and become much more sensitive.
Alright Cloud, I'm curious on how you chose your method of restoration. I've considered foreskin restoration myself. I have fair bit of foreskin left from circumsion but I've also played with since i was old enough to bathe myself.
I didn't so much as choose as I did settle, I started with the TLC tugger, liked it in many way, no tape, but I didn't like down the leg tugging and it doesn't lay around the waist very well, I then tried the cat II, no straps but was a bit too bulky, I settled on the t-tapes because I wanted to tug 24/7 and it is the most comfortable for that, I can do around the waist tugging easily, so that is what I have been using for a while and it works well as long as the tapes stick I do recommend starting, I delayed for about 7 years considering starting it, and it got to the point I realized I did not want to be back researching whether to do it in another 7 years, so I went for it. I am certainly glad I did but it is a bit of a double edged sword, I have gained back some of what was lost, but I have truly realized what was taken from me. once I experienced the gliding sensation of the skin it just felt so natural, so right, I can see why in the past they thought it would reduce masturbation, going from a foreskin to no foreskin, for me now, would be awful
cloud7 you are a brave man. You have guts. I think many men are in denial. It's good to hear that your restoration has worked out for you. Have you ever considered taking legal action against the doctor who did it? If you think about it, it is unbelievable that it is still done. Legal action may help stop this from continuing.
I have considered it, unfortunately due to the time differential it is very tough to to do. In my state I had one year to sue after I turned 18,I had no idea how much damage was done at that age. then doctors can pick and choose what they would want to say in defense, they would claim they only knew about the medical literature which said it had benefits and not the literature that said it was bad. they would then try to pass it off on the parents as the doctors did not decide to do it. and as I have no way to prove what the doctor knew at the time it's hard to prove that he knew it was malicious. however doctors doing it today are doing so at great risk as the word gets out. I do wish there was something I could legally do, but even some cases that seem obvious have failed, many people are biased in favor of circumcision. there was one case where the mother had checked a box on a prenatal form that the baby was to be circumcised, but they never signed consent for the surgery, but it was done anyway and the hospital got away with it. so on those forms if a nurse didn't like the decision to be left intact it could be changed that easily, it's very scary
