The RNG gods have shown me a sign:
It’d be more fun to restore someone else’s foreskin, magically.
No thanks, still looks disgusting.
okay, you’re free to circumsize yourself
Just don’t mutilate your kids cause you think it looks gross
So it’s not your cup of tea, doesn’t mean you have to get judgemental over it.
The cruel part is that the people that are circumcised don’t get to choose for themselves.
What’s with the downvotes on the post and through the comments? Is lemmy more prudey than I thought or am I missing something here?
I mean, it’s not really an accurate title. What was cut off can’t be restored. Sure, you can stretch the skin to be something like a foreskin, but it doesn’t have the nerve endings that were removed.
It’s the commonly used term, op didn’t make it up for this post, that’s just what people call it. The wikipedia article he linked uses the term in the title. I personally learned about this at r/foreskinrestoration. Besides, who’s gonna downvote over semantics? My bet is still on prudes.
Foreskin restoration != you can restore your foreskin , OPs title
mmh, k

And the thousands of nerve endings that provide a better experience, do they magically grow back as well or it just stretched skin?
Nerves don’t grow back, but the glans becomes more sensitive as the calloused skin heals.
Shit I already enjoy mine and you’re saying it could have been better?
Shouldn’t be removed in the first place, outside of medically necessary procedures.
Those penises look funny in their various apparatuses.
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.
question. any difference in general?
like does sex feel better or the same?
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.
thanks for the answer, very informative.
I can’t believe circumcision is still practiced in some parts of the world.
It’s brutal. I’m very lucky I wasn’t. Both my younger half brothers are.
My BIL had his son circumcized. When I asked him why (he’s not at all religious) he couldn’t come up with a reason.
Absolutely insane. I hope he doesn’t own a weapon.
Funny you mention that
Ya-huh?
And it’s been the default here in the US, historically and culturally (for puritanical reasons originally, and now because it’s “the norm”). Absolutely barbaric practice. “Yes, please mutilate my newborn baby because *checks notes* having a foreskin is unhygienic and looks weird compared to what I’m used to seeing in porn.”
“My parents mutilated me so I’ll do the same to my newborn child because tradition”
Something I consider extremely upsetting is the fact that just nobody gives a single solitary fuck in america? Like it’s literally genital mutilation on a baby? But people will basically just brush you off if you try to bring up how fucked it is?
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:)
Do you still get the extra nerve endings that the original provided?
Nerves don’t grow back, but the glans becomes more sensitive as the calloused skin heals.
No, but you do regain a lot of sensitivity and your glans becomes less calloused.
According to the Reddit threads at least. I still have the foreskin I was born with.
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.
It will take a few more years but he will get there. Tell him I salute him for his perseverance!
Oh thank god I can finally stop wearing this dick toupee

Personality I would rather have the opposite (bottom surgery) :3
