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

    Of all the organs, I cannot fathom why this is the one we decided we should remove bits of. Imagine if we had instead made a ritual of removing earlobes, no one would give a fuck.

      It desensitises the dick. Same reason for FGM. Beyond all of this, it is just a marker for tribal in-groups, a method of trust for converts into the religion, and a method of control.

    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.

    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.
