Foreskin restoration

>>6817924
why do u want it restored?
I mean it doesnt server much purpose and its just aesthetic really
>is it important to you for some reason?

Don't restore, circumcised is superior in function and aesthetics

>>6817924

I've been doing it for about a year and am about a CI 4. I would recommend checking out restoringforeskin . Com for more information. They have guides about manual methods and devices and whatnot.

>>6817975
Oh hello Mr. Shekelgruberfeygeleschlongstein

I'm also not contributing to OP but foreskins are natural and sexy. Why would I want a craggy mutilated penis?

>>6817924
I need to buy baby bottle nipples to make a restorer, but I'm worried about how people will look at me in the university supermarket.
>Hai guyz yeh im gay as u know but just gun buy these here nipples...
>Also u all know me as a med student but pls ignore what i may be doing with these...

It would be awkward. People would start talking.

If you are that concerned buy a tlcx or a dtr

I don't want them to think I'm a fetishist or that I have children at my age.
I was thinking about possibly just saying "Eradicating the scars of Islamic rape" in the most autistic way possible if anyone asked, but I don't suppose that would go down well.

Where do you live where people would care this much about a bottle nipple and question you about it

>>6817924
I'm ftm and i've grown quite a bit but I want to stretch my skin to cover the glans all the way so it doesn't keratinize. Will tugging really work?

>>6817975
Thanks Doctor Goldstein

Can anyone recommend a tape to use with a restorer?
I made one of the funnel-based restorers (http://www.norm.org/funnel.html), but both normal tape and microporous tape have failed to hold. My skin tends to get really sweaty and then the tape slips off.
Anything with a tighter hold that'll still come off in the shower?

You can't properly restore it, so don't bother.
You'll just damage more nerves.

>>6818117
Even though everyone who restores it says it feels multiple orders of magnitude better than before.

Some nerves may be damaged (note; may), but far more skin is dekeritanised, making it much more sensitive overall.

>>6817946
Aesthetics is one reason, another is that I've heard it does restore some sensitivity.
>>6818016
thanks for the link
>>6818028
Just throw them in with your normal shop no-one will say anything.
>>6818044
nice digits. Yeah was pretty traumatizing desu, When I first saw my peepee after the operation I started screaming and crying because I thought the Doctor had cut my dick off. I'm sure Freud would have a field day with my childhood

>>6818016
Can I ask what CI stands for?

>>6817924
As a bi trans girl (who is one of the few people in America its seems that wasn't circumcised), I just have to say: sucking circumcised dick or trying to jack it off or whatever is just not as good as when someone has a foreskin. It feels less like a dick and more like I'm sucking someones finger, or more accurately, a mass of dried scar tissue. They also get a weird smell, cause dummies think you dont have to wash a circumcised dick.

>>6818117
>You'll just damage more nerves

How do you figure?

>>6818333
Coverage index; how much of your shaft is covered with loose skin. You can google it for pictures.

I've been tugging like your picture all around my scar line for 2-5 minutes hourly. For the hours I can't tug, I use tape to hold my slack skin in front of my glans (I'm gonna buy o rings soon tho because tape hurts to take off).

I've been doing this for about a month now and I believe I've made some progress in addition to the initial stretching-out of the skin. I hope I can restore fully without having to buy a device, but if worst comes to worst, I'll force my parents to buy one since they're the reason I'm like this.

Also, apparently exercising helps because of growth hormones, and I lift, so idk

>>6818426
Thanks :-)

You might want to talk to a doctor before trying this yourself, OP.

There are a lot of different kinds of circumcisions and some advice from a guy with one circumcision style might not be applicable to you if you have a different one.

For example some (not all, not most, some) guys have the circumcision scar right at the coronal sulcus. This is an area where the internal and external penile tissues are fused together, and "tugging" this area could potentially injure you because of that.

A doctor who knows about restoration (they do exist) would be able to help you decide if you're a good candidate for it, what benefits and risks exist, and what techniques might serve you best.

Also remember that Foregen is working on figuring out how to regenerate a real foreskin with all the structures and specialized nerve endings. A "restored" foreskin you got from tissue expansion growth is not going to be a real foreskin--it's going to be an imitation made of shaft skin and (depending on your circumcision style) maybe expanded residual mucosa.

A real foreskin is a lot more complex than that.

>>6817946

Not that it's possible (right now) to get back a real foreskin after you've had it cut off, but the human foreskin does serve a purpose. It's the primary sensory structure of the penis.

The glans isn't--the glans is a protopathic organ primarily sensitive to irritation and pain. Most of the specialized, pleasurable nerve endings (especially tactile corpuscles) are in the foreskin tissues.

>>6822196
In that case, you would grow out the remaining mucosa the same as you would the shaft skin. I've heard people who were cut as adults, regretted it, then restored, say that a restored foreskin feels 70-90% the same as a real one. I guess that variation depends on how you were cut. So someone who was cut "high" (scar halfway down the shaft) with their frenulum intact would be better off, no?

>>6822357

>In that case, you would grow out the remaining mucosa the same as you would the shaft skin

When the scar is in the sulcus, there is virtually no remaining mucosa other than maybe 1mm--which is basically a combination of the circumcision scar itself and some fraction of a millimeter of mucosa. It will be quite tightly stuck in place to the underlying tissue (including the tunica albuginea, which you definitely do not want to subject to stress as doing so can lead to ruptures and internal bleeding).

I'd post a picture of the style of circumcision I'm talking about, but I can't since this is a SFW board.

> I've heard people who were cut as adults, regretted it, then restored, say that a restored foreskin feels 70-90% the same as a real one

They might be satisfied with the result, but it's kind of hard to distill experiences like this into percentages. Some guys who were cut as adults and then restored said the improvement was very significant. Others say it was very small.

From an objective perspective, a restored foreskin really cannot so much the same as a natural one. A real foreskin is a very richly vascularized, innervated, muscular structure. A restored foreskin is going to be pretty much, well, skin (and mucosa, depending on the cut). But, mechanically it would at least permit the gliding action to return and would protect the head.

>I guess that variation depends on how you were cut. So someone who was cut "high" (scar halfway down the shaft) with their frenulum intact would be better off, no?

You may be right about this. The frenulum and particularly the frenular delta have a lot of specialized nerve endings. You don't want to tug on those areas particularly, though, because you wouldn't want to damage (even slightly) any of the nerves in there (this seems to have happened to a few guys on the FR board, really a shame. https://foreskinrestoration.vbulletin.net/forum/general-restoration-discussion/6000-loss-of-frenulum-sensitivity )

>>6818110
Same anon from yesterday.
Do NOT, I repeat, NOT, make this type of restorer.
I wore it overnight and when I woke up and took it off, the tip of my glans was yellow, inflamed, painful, and puckered. Took a hot water bath for 15 minutes to get it to stop hurting.
Stick to baby bottle nipples or professional designs.

>>6822357

yes.
just as you can't regrow your arm if it is cutoff, you can't regrow tissue that has been completely removed. foreskin tissue is different from shaft tissue. if all your foreskin tissue has been removed, the best you can get is some stretched shaft skin that might cover your glans but won't have the nerve endings and blood supply of a real foreskin.

just learn to love yourself as you are. you will be old and dying before you know it. (old fag here - life is too short - make the most of it before it is over)

>>6817946

It has a lot of nerves in it. Those can't be tugged back into existence, but if a wizard appeared to me and offered a magical restoration of ALL my foreskin, then I would be glad to accept.

Anyway y'all who think genitalia of all sorts isn't stupid-looking have crappy taste in bodypart appearances. Circumcision or uncircumcision for aesthetic reasons is stupid. The aesthetic thing to do is to just enjoy how the ridiculous thing feels. It's for touching, not for looking at.

If you really think that an elegant look is worth your sensation, though, then you should go all the way and just have the whole thing removed. Penis, balls, everything. A smooth plastic-looking groin would be prettier to look at than the hairy, wrinkly, brownish prongs and bulges and gashes that we currently have.

>>6822196
>A doctor who knows about restoration (they do exist) would be able to help you decide if you're a good candidate for it, what benefits and risks exist, and what techniques might serve you best.
How do I find such doctors in the UK? All of the NHS ones just go "muh acceptance", "muh islam", "muh cleanliness".
How about "muh skin being pulled painfully tight and sometimes tearing when I get an erection", arseholes?

Couldn't we restore as a temporary thing, then get the restored one circumcised off and use foregen for the real deal if-and-when it actually happens?
If foregen fails, I'd at least like to get some of the stuff back [spoiler]and maybe get bionic benis implants to substitute the parts I can't just stretch back[/spoiler].

>>6817924
I mean it works, it just takes a while

>>6818117
>implying

you cant restore the ridged band, but you can dekeratinize your glans and restore the gliding motion of the foreskin. its def worth it

>>6822584
I was genitally mutilated and do not function correctly down there. I can pee and that's pretty much it.
Stop telling me to enjoy life and love myself; I already want to die thanks to my wreck of a penis.

>>6822604

>How do I find such doctors in the UK? All of the NHS ones just go "muh acceptance", "muh islam", "muh cleanliness".

I'm not sure. You might want to get in contact with Doctors Opposing Circumcision (although they're an American organization) and ask if they know any specialists in the UK with whom you could consult. I don't know whether they could help you but it could be worth a try...you might get a lead out of it. I'm not sure whether the NHS would cover this consultation (I'm American and don't really know the ins and outs of the NHS since I've never been to the UK and never used it). I would be prepared to have to pay money out of pocket to see a specialist.

>How about "muh skin being pulled painfully tight and sometimes tearing when I get an erection", arseholes?

Sounds like you were cut extremely tightly. I feel your pain...I was cut extremely tightly too. Ever had the phenomenon of waking up through the night because your nocturnal erections hurt so badly that it pulls you out of sleep?

>Couldn't we restore as a temporary thing, then get the restored one circumcised off and use foregen for the real deal if-and-when it actually happens?

I'm not sure. That seems theoretically possible, but rather risky. You should contact Foregen via email and ask them.

>>6822574
jfc don't wear your restorer overnight, that shit messes with your nocturnal erections.

>>6822612

It's still a procedure (albeit non surgical) and like any procedure, there are going to be risks involved. It would be most sensible to talk to a specialist doctor before going and experimenting on one's own.

>>6817924
I have been tugging for 3 months now using manual method 2. So far I have gone from tight, painful erections to erections that are much more enjoyable. I can even pull some skin over my dick head and fap without lube.

If you go down this road remember this, it will take years. 1-2 years depending on how tight you are cut.

You have to really want it. You have to really, really want it to be able to tug religiously every day for years. Because consistency is key. If you are not consistent, you will not succeed.

>>6822628
>I would be prepared to have to pay money out of pocket to see a specialist.
Great...
>tfw entirely financially dependent on your anti-non-circumcision parents until you graduate in 8 years
The NHS is good for some things, but it pushes for Islamic circumcision benefits (we don't have (m)any Jews here) to hell and back. I don't care what they say; I'm never performing a circumcision on anyone once I've graduated... Unless it's gangrenous or something...

>Sounds like you were cut extremely tightly. I feel your pain...I was cut extremely tightly too. Ever had the phenomenon of waking up through the night because your nocturnal erections hurt so badly that it pulls you out of sleep?
Yes.
Ever had your balls pulled all the way into your body when you get an erection? That's me every time.

I'm just gonna go NoFap until I get it to look more normal again; I can't stand to use this 'penis' any more.

>>6822444
>A real foreskin is a very richly vascularized, innervated, muscular structure

I'm trying to figure out just how much those elements contribute to the pleasurable feelings of the foreskin. Restoration won't bring back the ridged band, and it won't make new blood vessels, but as long as you have some mucosa left over, shouldn't that at least be comparable to the real thing? Like it's like the real thing, but less sensitive.

>>6822650

>The NHS is good for some things, but it pushes for Islamic circumcision benefits (we don't have (m)any Jews here) to hell and back.

Wow, that sucks.

Sounds really different from the KNMG which says that Dutch doctors have a duty to discourage parents from having their sons circumcised (unless there is real medical need) because it is known that the foreskin is useful and circumcision can cause physical and psychological problems.

> I'm never performing a circumcision on anyone once I've graduated... Unless it's gangrenous or something...

I'm glad to hear that.

>Ever had your balls pulled all the way into your body when you get an erection? That's me every time.

No, thankfully I've never had that happen. My testicles are I think much too big to go up inside my body, and they were already "dropped" even when I was a baby.

But, I have experienced significant long-term damage to my penis from trying to masturbate without lube...the skin ripped and so did my tunica albuginea. Now I have ED and chronic pain.

Since the skin tore my circumcision isn't as tight as it was (it healed back with stretch marks/scarring) but it was not a good tradeoff...sensation sucks worse now than before and now instead of acute pain with erection it's just dull burning pain all the time.

Circumcision has severely affected my quality of life...and my cut was not "botched", it was just done extremely tight, when I was a baby. The doctor had no way of knowing how much my penis would grow during puberty. I was going to end up needing much more skin than he left me with--but I was cut back in the early 90's and it was still basically the standard to do tight circumcisions back then. Looser circs didn't become as popular until later.

If your erections are this tight then it's definitely worth tugging until you at least have some slack skin during erections. Even that makes a huge difference.

Man it really pisses me off that so many people have these problems as a result of this "procedure". And so many guys go their who lives like that because they think it's normal. Never would've happened if they'd been allowed to keep the body they were born with. The sooner infant circumcision is outlawed and everyone's allowed to know what their penis is supposed to feel like, the better.

Cutfags should cut their wrists..

Comparable in the sense you could, well, *compare* it to the real thing, sure. But comparable as in basically equivalent? Physiologically that isn't possible.

The ridged band itself is the most specially innervated part of the penis. I believe there are also a lot of specialized nerve endings in the frenular delta and frenulum as well--tests showed the frenular area is very sensitive to gentle touch. Still, the ridged band is where scientists have found the main concentrations of Meissner corpuscles. There are a few Meissner corpuscles in the smooth mucosa, but nowhere near like you find in the band.

A little more info

>Histological cross-sections of the 'ridged band' showed focal, spiky or more rounded, broader and flatter ridges interspersed with sulci. Meissner's corpuscles were more plentiful in some subjects than in others but perhaps significantly, they were only seen in the crests of ridges, occasionally in small clumps that expanded the tips of corial papillae... End-organs were not seen in sulci between ridges in this material. S100 staining (Fig. 9) showed additional end-organs and myelinated nerve fibres within papillae and confirmed the richly innervated nature of the `ridged band'. The distribution of Meissner's corpuscles in the mucosal ridges was best seen in tangential sections through the epithelium and tips of corial papillae of some but not all specimens. Sections of `smooth mucosa' showed no ridging of the mucosal surface, slightly shallower corial papillae and few Meissner's corpuscles.

That is an excerpt from Taylor, Lockwood and Taylor's study "The prepuce: Specialized mucosa of the penis and its loss to circumcision" (1996), which was published in the BJU, Vol. 77, pp. 291-295. You can find a digital copy by searching online.

Anyone want to join me I'm going to be handing out flyers with info about how my penis is better then anyone else and pressuring them to do change some little part of them in order to make me happy.

>>6822718
Yeah I remember when i first kill a dude for not having his foreskin.

Fucking scum get off lgbt with ur cut dick.

>>6822657
>>6822751

Oh, also...it won't move in response to heat/cold or touch like a real foreskin does. A natural foreskin has a lot of muscle which helps the penis make positional adjustments when it experiences heat, cold, or touch. Unfortunately a restored foreskin lacks that muscle tissue.

It could give you back the gliding action and cover your glans though. I'm not saying a "faux-skin" would have no function...but it would be missing some functions of a natural one. And since those functions would be sensory and mobility functions, those missing functions would be fairly major ones.

The foreskin is first and foremost an organ of perception--that it covers and protects the tender, easily-irritated glans is good, but that's not what it's all about by any means. People tend to miss this.

>>6822834
Then again, would you rather have a half-functional foreskin or no foreskin at all?
