Foreskin Restoration

[B_dxjnorto]

I'm not arguing about anything. Chico and I were just wondering if anyone wanted any foreskin restoration information. Apparently the answer is no, or not yet.

It's just weird debating with a couple of intact guys whether the foreskin has value or not. If I'm getting your comments right, you are saying it does not?

What I was getting at with Sherwood's comment about masturbation and the antisexual underpinnings of circ is that the purpose of circ was originally to punish masturbation. Hey that didn't work did it?

Well, it is a punishment. As an intact guy you know that masturbation is very natural and easy with a nicely gliding skin. I used to dry hump everything growing up, but I never imagined the skin was supposed to MOVE until I began to figure out this whole can of worms several years back.

I honestly didn't know you could masturbate without a handful of lubricant.

I think there has been a lot of confusion when it came to caring for the foreskin.
In the past there was talk about cleaning under it (as infants) and that would mean moms were told to retract it.

In order to keep my license current I have to take a certain amount of continuing education classes. At this point the recommendation is more to "leaving the foreskin alone" though continue to wash as usual.
To some who were taught differently, this was a new concept.

In my husbands family it was left alone, but some males had separation of the foreskin much sooner than others.

 

[B_dxjnorto]

Thanks Mumzi. Yes, for infants the glans and the foreskin are attached by a membrane called a synechia until between three and five years of age, sometimes much later. Why? Because the sexual functions of the penis are not needed in infancy.

Premature retraction can cause bleeding, which could lead to scarring and infection, a common cause of child and adult problems. Many childhood and adult circs begin with too much "care." The body's orifices are mostly self-maintaining. No one should prematurely retract anyone's foreskin. That is for the child to discover.

Fortunately people are becoming better informed thanks to caregivers like you. Hopefully foreskin manipulation like Jeff Black experienced will become a thing of the past. It can't be too pleasant having someone fussing with your penis from birth and could be harmful.

dxjnorto, you are taking this too psychotic levels.

All of you launched a fierce attack on me,I`m strong enough not to retaliate.I`m gay like you,and disenchanted with christians and other religious bigots who attack us,honey,I`m not promoting circumcision,it`s my point of view.I`m quite sure that doctors who made fatal mistakes in circumcision should be trialed at Court.If Abraham,Jesus,The majority of Jews and Muslims were circumcised,and The Saviour was,it means,that`s good.I hate Islamic fundamentalism,but,I`m telling the Truth.Don`t Get me wrong,Doctors who want foreskin restoration,only want to take your money.Some men attacked me,but I don`t want to report their abuse,I forgive their rage,as if I made a fatal mistake.I won`t ever succor prejudiced men.

The fact that you believe that foreskin restoration is performed by doctors just proves that you have failed to read the thread or read any of the links provided. Although a small minority have chosen surgical restoration, it's rarely satisfactory. Most people use non-surgical means to restore. Before you continue to rant about the issue, please read the original post and the links provided.

 

[B_dxjnorto]

HC I feel some compassion for you. I've met people like you before who were raised by fundamentalist parents who put some kind of freak on them. I highly recommend you seek a competent mental health counselor. I know it's expensive. Perhaps you can find someone in your area through a clinic that charges on a sliding scale based on income or a doctors free clinic.

Your spelling is very good, but your punctuation is poor. Please put a space after every comma and period.

I find it strains credulity to believe that if there is a god and if he has created us in his image, that the first thing he wants us to do when a child is born is to remove part of his penis.

I`m quite sure that doctors who made fatal mistakes in circumcision should be trialed at Court.

Fatal? So if they just cut or burn his whole dick off (like David Reimer, who was brought up a girl), that's OK? How about if they just make every erection painful? Or how about if he just grows up to decide he'd rather have been left with all the penis he was born with?

If Abraham,Jesus,The majority of Jews and Muslims were circumcised,and The Saviour was,it means,that`s good.

Jesus was also (reportedly) crucified.
Judas was also (reportedly) circumcised.

Dear Chico,send me a private message through the Email I gave you.Honestly,I read few comments about foreskin restoration,I don`t wanna do that,even if it was free.I believe one man`s meat is another man`s poison.I`m not forcing people to circumcise their penises.My advice to you is to be careful,I sent a comment by mistake to the german man Alex 8(I really respect him)to find out that he responded to that letter by insults.I`m strong not to avenge.

I've sent you the message but as I've tried to explain, this thread is for men who are interested in foreskin restoration. If you're not, that's fine, but please no more postings in this thread about why you feel it is wrong. Some men simply can't understand what has been lost and they'll pay the price. My point is to say that for those who were cut extremely tightly as I was, foreskin restoration is a way to regain some of what has been lost.

If [smegma] builds up too long, it can be a very unattractive smell.

Yes, but you wipe your rear end properly, brush your teeth and bathe regularly, no?

To have a good argument, one needs to present both sides, and neither of you did that.

In the U.S. genital cutting is the treatment of first resort, even when there is no medical need. Where is the balance in that?

Circumcision is worthless and debilitating (except in very rare circumstances--even then it can be done conservatively). If I can use skin expansion techniques for "recovery," how much more easily can someone who is "phimosed" expand their foreskin opening by gentle stretching over weeks and months?

Fatal? So if they just cut or burn his whole dick off (like David Reimer, who was brought up a girl), that's OK?

After David's (born Bruce, raised as Brenda) dick was burned off, his identical twin Brian was not circumcised.

Since circumcision is unnecessary, so are horrors like this.

David committed suicide on May 4th, 2004, aged 38.

I was circumcized as an infant, but luckily on the looser side and I still have a frenulum. Since I've been restoring and have more coverage my penis looks and feels more "natural" to me. Having the glans covered is a very comfortable and pleasant feeling, something that's hard to describe.

I have made good gains with the low-hassle low-impact O-ring method...I spend about a minute total over a whole day fussing with it, which is a pretty minimal investment considering the improvements in my sex life.

My son was not cut...if he wants to later in life, that will be his choice. Every man deserves the opportunity to make that choice for himself.

Thanks, again everyone for all the information. Think I will stay intact for awhile, and try stretching my skin some more. For all I know, I may have been neglecting the little feller.

Needless to say, I think you've made the right decision! Good luck and let us know how it goes.

 

[chico8]

This thread has inspired to be more consistent in my tugging and it has led to some serious gains. The skin on the undersdie of my penis is now fully stimulating the remnant of my frenulum. Since it's moist all the time now, it's way more sensitive and not all hardened from being exposed to clothing and the dry air. The feeling of my foreskin rolling over my glans is unbelievable.

A lot of people are obsessed about the looks of the intact or cut penis but for me, it's all about the feeling. It's hard to imagine that I'm more sensitive now in my 40s than I ever was in my 20s.

 

[healthycircumcision]

Be satisfied with what you got,most guys are disenchanted with their penises.Now,we are young,when we are 85,I`m sure a lot of men would not only complain of their penises,but also of their health and problems. If you are interested ,you may exhibit your penis here,it`s up to you.PS:I RECEIVED A PRIVATE MESSAGE ABOUT YOUR PENIS ON 29/6/2006

I don't think foreskin is "gross" but I do think that cut looks better then uncut.

That is my preference too !

 

[findfirefox]

That is my preference too !

Thanks for dragging me back into it. :wink:

That was a particularly tragic case as the Gender Identity Specialist "adapted" medical evidence that Brenda/David was content in their new gender. He was determined to prove his theories on nature and nurture.
Brenda never identified as female (she was not transsexual) but felt odd even before puberty.
She was in effect a castrated man who had a phalloplasty (unsuccessful) as a teenager and married several times.
