Note:
This thread is not meant to be a debate thread about the pros and cons about circumcision or whether routine infant circumcision should be allowed (if you are interested in that please refer to the Am I the Only One that Likes Circumcision Thread or Did anyone else see the NY times circumcision article? refer to links below). This thread is meant to be pure anecdotal descriptions from real people detailing their own personnel experiences. Scientific studies are not relevant here unless they are related to improving the process of restoring foreskin.

Some Benefits of Foreskin Restoration:
Description of Foreskin Restoration:
When skin is place under tension it tries to reduce the tension. It does this by growing new skin cells (mitosis). Often people refer to foreskin restorers as skin stretchers. We may be temporarily stretching skin slightly but it is really the application of tension that results in skin cell growth. It is not stretched skin we are achieving it is new skin. This process occurs in earlobes when heavy earrings are worn. There are some African tribes where wooden plates are used to elongate lips this is the same process. The stomach skin of pregnant women is another example. There are medical procedures that are used to stimulate skin growth so that patients can grow skin for their own skin grafts. All the different techniques are similar in that they use tension to initiate mitosis.
There are specialized receptor cells in the foreskin (Meissners Corpuscles) that are very sensitive to light touch (similar to the palms of your hand, certain areas on the soles of your feet). These are located in high concentration at the very tip of the foreskin (Frenar Band or Ridged Band) and in the Frenulum area (Frenulum anchors foreskin to the penis and helps keep it in place). The Frenar Band is removed in all circumcised men, the frenulum is removed in most (sometimes remnants remain). Foreskin restoration cannot restore this specialized tissue that is responsible for the foreskin being highly erogenous. However, the inner skin area (skin between the circumcision scar and the glans) does contain Meissners Corpuscles and thus growing inner skin may increase the number of these specialized light touch receptors cells.
Foreskin restoration provides the glans and inner skin area with protection similar to those of intact men and thus can improve sensitivity that is lost over time (due to rubbing on clothing, callous like material builds up to protect the membrane and skin). The glans is really a membrane that is really meant to be kept moist (much like our eyeballs). Also, the gliding motion of the penis within the foreskin sheath provides stimulation. Restored foreskin returns this ability.

- To allow circumcised men that are restoring or have restored their foreskins to share their experiences with foreskin restoration (positive & negative)
- To allow restoring/restored men to share the benefits foreskin restoration has made on their sexual experiences and relationships
- To provide circumcised men that do not have experience with foreskin restoration with information on foreskin restoration.
Input is welcome from:
- Intact men that are using restoration techniques to lengthen their foreskin
- Circumcised men that are interested in restoration or just want to share their satisfaction or dissatisfaction of sexual experiences as a circumcised man
- Circumcised men just interested in learning the differences between circumcised sexual experiences compared to sexual experiences of intact men and/or restored men.
- Intact men that may have insight that would benefit restorers
- Females that are interested in learning about foreskin restoration and the functionality of the penis (perhaps would like to support a male partner in is restoration process)
- Straight and gay people (my experience is only heterosexual but representation from both groups is most beneficial)

Some Benefits of Foreskin Restoration:
- Ability to maintain moist shiny glans with improved sensitivity
- Improve sensitivity of the inner skin (skin between circ scar and glans)
- Gliding motion (movement of the penis with in the foreskin)
- More intense orgasms
- Reduced loss of lubrication during lovemaking
- Reduced friction during lovemaking
