Darkbond, I see you have not changed your style. You still insist on twisting and distorting what people write or their obvious intent is in attempts to discredit what they have written. I guess it is because you can't logically provide a proper criticism.
You owe it to yourself to inform people from unbiased sites. Quoting sites like NORM is a disservice. It would be like my quoting from CIRCLIST.

Do you have to get circumsized to get rid of this condition? I have it and really cant afford to go the doctor right now, but I thought you guys would know since that this is a penis site.:biggrin1:
Is there any other treatment that I could possibly do at home? Would masturbation help?

The OP specifically asked for information alternatives to circumcision for his condition. I provided him with sources of information for exactly what he asked. NORM is a professional organization with medical doctor representatives that have helped many men (circumcised / intact) deal with foreskin restoration / foreskin issues. All three links I provided the OP had legitimate information regarding techniques that could be used as treatment alternatives to circumcision.

You contradict yourself by saying you provide links with doctor references however doctors also tend to go for the knife quickly.
Struggling with something to say here - this statement is childish!
Your stats with respects to restorers who were circumcised in adulthood is a red herring stat. I can easily say there are more happily circumcised men than there are restorers period. You will more than likely come back and say thats because they dont know any better.
Refer to the KNMG (Royal Dutch Medical Association) viewpoint on the "Non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors.
Non-therapeutic circumcision of male minors (2010)
Medical/therapeutic
There are a number of complaints for which circumcision is an accepted medical therapy, in particular phimosis (abnormal tightness of the foreskin), paraphimosis and balanitis (inflammation of the glans). In the medical world, there is debate as to whether circumcision is prescribed too often for medical reasons, when there are sometimes good alternatives such as plastic surgery or local application of a steroid cream - for example to treat phimosis.9 However, in general, circumcision for medical/therapeutic reasons is not controversial and will not be dealt with in any further detail at this time.
They did not discuss this any further because it was not in their scope (dealing with minors not adults). However, their inclusion of this in the viewpoint is a powerful acknowledgment that the situation exists that adult men with foreskin issues are not informed of alternative treatments.
As I stated, I know circumcised as adult restorers for which this situation is true. They acknowledge it was their own decision but are upset because alternatives were not presented -- and yes they are very disappointed with their post circumcision sexual experiences.
Refer to the Eureka! I am Now Intact Poll
Eureka! I am now Intact Poll
Out 77 circumcised respondents 58 or 75.3% of them would be happy to suddenly have their foreskins back.
Refer to the "If you could change your circumcision status" poll by Snozzle.
If you could change your circumcised status poll
43 of the 73 circumcised respondents or 58.9% indicated that would change their circumcised status if they could easily do this.
Refer to the Happy with your circumcision poll by Snozzle
Happy with your circumcision poll?
Of the 792 circumcised respondents 334 or 42.3% were not happy; 343 or 43.2% were happy and 115 or 14.5% didn't care.
Obviously a significant percentage of circumcised men are not pleased with the decision that was made for them when they were infants. Read the KNMG Viewpoint - it supports genital integrity without discrimination of male & female. The same rules need to apply to both.
If you really wanted to be biased why not include feed back on everything. Why a person would stay intact...Why one would restore....Why one would stretch and Why one would get cut? Your allegiance and advocacy for being uncut coupled with your disdain for circumcision is pointing doing some grand special service for someone but it is manipulating a man's fear with respect to his penis.
Every adult man should be able to make up their own mind if all the options are presented. There is nothing wrong with having an adult circumcision.
I think you mean if I really want to be "
unbiased"....
Again, this was not meant to be a debate thread. I was simply responding to the information request of the OP. He didn't ask for a research thesis on the pros and cons of circumcision, restoration or being intact etc.
I have no issue with an adult man making his own decision. The point is that all options are often not presented. When a circumcision is being considered for a medical need (not choice) alternative less invasive techniques other than full circumcisions should always be pursued first. Circumcision should be a last resort.
If a man simply prefers to be circumcised for cosmetic reasons, again I have no issue with him deciding to have his foreskin removed. He can castrate himself if that is wants, I really don't care.
I really do think that your responses to my posts on this thread have been off base and uncalled for.
