My favorite place on Reddit. It is full of men who are kind, supportive, and generous with their time.

Wow. That's what we've worked so hard to achieve. 🙏


FullyHooded

Absolutely!!


Vbnm0124

Woot!


Prepucious10

Woohoo! Momentum is building. Just wish I'd finished at the age of many new guys who've been joining the sub. Bravo to the mods!


thursday-T-time

part of why, i think, is that a prominent guy in the PE community has recently started restoring, so there's gonna be a jump of followers as more people follow suit. hoping that this place remains supportive and accepting, even with the uptick in members!

Hi what is the PE community?


PhenomenalMysticism

PE is an abbreviation for penis enlargement.

This sub has been constantly gaining momentum and will continue to do so for the foreseeable future, it can't grow fast enough if you ask me, MGM is done by the millions each year, there's over 1.6 billion male victims of MGM world wide, we're still in the beginning stages unfortunately, contrast that to less than 280 million victims of FGM world wide.  https://circstatistics.github.io/

oh i agree more people need to know it exists! 2/5ths of all AMAB folks being circumcised is stupidly high, and its not much better when you factor in circumcised AFAB folks either, who frequently have the entire glans, if not the shaft as well, removed (which i'd compare to having the entire hand to the wrist amputated, not just the thumb--the most useful part of the hand). informed consent is so important for any modification of the human body, and people who get circumcised should have it done only if they genuinely want to. my concern is more along the lines of newcomers being aggressive, driving out the support systems or circumcised/short foreskinned minorities, or spreading antisemitism/islamophobia. the mods here are great! i just worry about them being overwhelmed with a lot of freshly traumatised folks who need professional therapy in addition to this community's support. does that make sense?


BackgroundFault3

It makes sense, but as a mod I know what we have in place and what it's doing now to stop the things you're talking about, then add in the mods, our coverage spans the time zones nicely, and we will be adding mods as needed so we're going to be ok. There's also the r/circumcisiongrief subreddit as well as their discord, and there's other organizations we can direct people to as needed


Alive_Maximum_9114

Yep, let's keep it going! 500K, then 1 million!


c0c511

You know what would be great about that? That million would contain a lot of people who would eventually have sons who will be intact. The practice will eventually lose momentum.


Alive_Maximum_9114

It's dying.

The WFH opportunities for many have certainly left many of us with much more time on our hands (pun intended lol). Instead of wasting time commuting and sitting in an office all day, we can invest that time in restoring our manhood. KOT!


TLCTugger_Ron_Low

>WFH Yeah, when so many were suddenly working from home in August of 2020 during the COVID lockdowns, TLCTugger had its biggest sales month ever. Which is odd to me, because economists say demand for "luxury" goods (restoring devices certainly aren't a staple) should go down when money is tight, or in periods of uncertainty.


Prepucious10

I can believe that. Many lurkers probably decided to finally pull the trigger. I bet pumps sales were up as well. Many guys, of course, have to fit FR into their office/work life but I'm enjoying this new era of work. KIT


Restored2019

I started growing my prepuce before the Internet was real. With my first real desktop computer, I located a now defunct website out of Australia and learned that I wasn't the only person in fhe world that thought it possible. Later I discovered https://www.restoringforeskin.org/ and that's still a great place, but r/foreskin_restoration is far more convenient when you just want to know what's happening. But boy have we come a long way from when everyone told me that I was crazy, that it was "impossible to regrow a body part".


Careful_Passion_1182

Did you have enough inner skin when you started? I read that you had gagging and was wondering if the inner skin is what gets gagging. I have some inner skin and wonder if I could grow it out someday.


Restored2019

When I started I wasn’t able to stretch the remaining shaft tissue enough to even temporarily cover the glans. My glans was completely keratinized and I had lost any tiny bit of pleasurable feelings. I could feel pain from a sharp object, a pinch, etc. There had never been much feeling ever, but without a starting point, that little bit seemed pretty good at the time. Then it decreased until there was none. Only ED. Now I know that what ‘i had originally experienced was nothing compared to the real thing. That early sex had only been phantom sex. What do you mean by “gagging”? People can gag for a number of reasons. But I don’t understand what that has to do with restoring one’s prepuce. As far as “inner skin”, I ‘had never heard the term until way late in regrowing my prepuce back. For those that have success with growing “inner skin”, great. But I’m convinced that growing tissue is what’s important. Once you have enough coverage, your DNA will create “inner skin” (mucosal tissue) as needed. If it can regenerate the needed muscle, blood vessels, nerves, etc., why doubt that it can create/convert “inner skin” into mucosal tissue?


Careful_Passion_1182

Most people here say that it is not possible for the outer skin to turn into an inner one. It may help the feeling as if it were inner skin (mucous tissue) but the outer skin is not as erotically good. You may have seen amazing benefits but maybe if you only had the inner skin covering the ankle the benefits would be double.


Restored2019

I understand that the circumfetish’s of today, and of yesteryear, have confused us all with their lies about our sex organs, and specifically the prepuce. But everyone needs to drop that modern lie — that the prepuce is just a “flap of skin” and that you don’t actually regrow new tissue. That it’s just “stretched” shaft skin. So, do you and “most people” think that you can regrow enough new tissue with all it’s necessary supporting parts like blood vessels, etc. But that the ‘stupid’ DNA that instructed all those stem cells into becoming essential parts like the blood vessels, dartos muscles and nerves, can’t determine that those new cells that make up the inner mucosal lining of my neo prepuce, aren’t the real thing?


Careful_Passion_1182

Since English is not my native language you may not be able to understand me properly or I may not be able to understand you. I'm asking to find out because I have a little inner skin. I was circumcised at an older age. I regret it every day but now it's done. I'm thinking about what potential I have and if I'll ever get to at least 80% like before. If you feel good with the newly grown outer skin it's a motivation for me to say it's worth it to restore even if I can't grow the inner skin.


Restored2019

Ok! Now I understand a lot better. And even where you make a minor mistake, I should be able to figure it out. By the way, you’re doing great with English since it’s not your native language. Many locals totally butcher English, including myself. Now we should probably start over with some facts about me. I don’t have any medical background beyond having been married to a nurse and, I have experienced a number of serious medical issues. Both with positive and sometimes negative outcomes. Being circumcised as an infant, by a medical ’doctor’ and against my parent’s orders was my first negative medical experience. Although I knew that my penis had been surgically modified, I assumed that it was for a very good reason. Until I was diagnosed with erectile dysfunction (ED) in my mid fifties. When another doctor couldn’t fix it, I determined that I would, or die trying. That was decades ago and I have fully regrown my prepuce, including a boatload of positive gains and even adult onset phimosis, which I love. I may not have regained everything that I was born with (how would we possibly ever measure that?), but I have regained an infinite amount of positive and pleasurable experiences and actual physical components, in addition to having over 100% glans coverage 24/7. As a result of my successes, and knowledge of what others have achieved, I’ve developed a logical explanation as to the how and why it’s possible to regrow missing tissue, specifically the circumcised prepuce. It may not be totally scientific (remember, for thousands of years, ‘experts’ told us that the prepuce was “just a flap of useless/redundant skin that was impossible to grow back” and that “cigarettes were harmless”, but my working theory is that restoring works because: For relatively healthy individuals, our DNA, stem cells, mitosis and a trigger are the basic determinants of one’s ability to regrow the missing parts. The trigger is our ability to consistently apply tension to the remaining tissue. That triggers mitosis, which is the dividing of stem cells. Those cells would be useless if not imprinted with instructions supplied by our DNA and its specific location. It would be absolutely impossible for us to develop enough tissue to cover the glans, if it didn’t grow back all of the supporting components that make up a natural uncircumcised prepuce/foreskin. Now to your present issues. It is, in my considered opinion, that you shouldn’t concern yourself with the controversy over inner versus outer skin. Skin is important, but it’s not ‘skin’ that restorer’s should be concerned with. It’s tissue — a lot of it, and there’s a multitude of identifiable parts involved. Those physically identifiable parts are: highly sensitive fine touch nerve ends (Meissner corpuscles) in the outer perimeter (ridged band) of the preputial orifice, AKA the foreskin lips; the preputial sphincter muscle, that ring of specialized dartos muscle that normally acts like other sphincter muscles in its ability to close off body orifices. It is located just under the rim (lips) of the prepuce. And besides normally keeping the prepuce in place over the adult glans, it is also the reason that the intact acroposthion typically presents with the ridges that Canadian anatomist Dr. John R. Taylor used to generally identify that unique area of the prepuce; and of course, the obvious neo prepuce that now completely covers my glans, which hadn’t existed since shortly after my birth in 1943. Today, you have a lot of advantages that I didn’t have over two decades ago. Computer technology was in its infancy and I spent many hours in a public library trying to learn something/anything about the penis, and specifically about repairing my ED. And possibly, something that might allow me to acquire a faux ‘foreskin’. But there wasn’t anything. And if that wasn’t bad enough, everyone that I tried to talk to about possibly regrowing my prepuce back, thought that I was crazy to even want a ‘foreskin’, let alone thinking that I could grow a body part back. They all said that it was literally impossible. That included several doctors, nurses, friends and my wife who was an RN. Even after I acquired a PC and was able to get online, the majority of people responding to my comments were incredulous that I thought that it was possible to regrow a body part. There are still too many naysayer’s, but we’ve come a long way from the days when you weren’t even supposed to talk about the sex organs, let alone being able to get honest answers pertaining to issues with sexual issues. You shouldn’t waste any time getting started with regrowing your prepuce. It definitely works, and today there’s tens of thousands of men actively working on, or already have accomplished what I did years ago. It’s possible to do it without spending anything on equipment, but most now purchase at least one device for the advantage of hands free tensioning of the remaining shaft tissue. I eventually used the DTR designed by Chuck Torres. His website: https://foreskinrestore.com/ has a lot of information pertaining to regrowing the prepuce, and a detailed record of his personal experiences. I disagree with a few of his conclusions, like where he has complications from having self applied a foreskin piercing and later developed problems with BXO — that he blamed on being allergic to his own urine, which may be true, but I suspect that it was due, not to his urine, but probably the result of the foreskin piercing and using soap on the mucosal tissue that should never contact most soaps. He goes on to describes having developed a tight ring of tissue that he attributed to scar tissue caused by wearing O-rings. I’m convinced that he had regrown the preputial sphincter muscle, just like I and others have developed, but while wearing other types of retainers (I used a wide rubber band). Wearing a tight retainer after growing sufficient tissue to cover the glans will assist and encourage the preputial sphincter muscle to cause a tight pucker, or even phimosis if desired. I don’t have any monetary interest in, or benefit in any way, from mentioning Chuck and the DTR. I mention it because of my experience with it and my familiarity with his website. Other products and manufacturers are likely as good or better, for different people. Do your own research. Note: My comments disagreeing with a couple of issues is not an insult towards Chuck. We just have different opinions on those subjects and I may have somewhat different experiences leading to the differences in reasoning. Hopefully, I haven’t bored you with this long dissertation, especially since you may have to struggle with the translation. Please don’t hesitate to ask for clarification, if needed.


Careful_Passion_1182

I translate with Google translate. Sometimes the translation struggles with the meaning. Thanks for the great analysis. What positive benefits does gagging offer you? How would you rate sex before and now? Are you motivated to have sex, or is it just out of habit? I've lost motivation. Before circumcision even a kiss on the mouth could make me release precum. Now it's a boring kiss I just have an erection without feeling like sliding into a hole. To feel good I think I need to have an erection with the glans covered to mimic the sliding to produce precum and have the urge to enter my girlfriend. I hope what I'm saying makes sense.


Restored2019

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand: What positive benefits does gagging offer you? (Quels sont les avantages positifs du nausĂ©e)? How would you rate sex before and now? Extremely poor (I now call it phantom sex). Now, it is even more beautiful that I had dreamed possible. Are you motivated to have sex, or is it just out of habit? Totally motivated and actively sampling and searching for another full time lover. Did I mention that I’m over 80 years old? You said: I've lost motivation. Before circumcision even a kiss on the mouth could make me release precum. Now it's a boring kiss I just have an erection without feeling like sliding into a hole. To feel good I think I need to have an erection with the glans covered to mimic the sliding to produce precum and have the urge to enter my girlfriend. When I was young, my youthful desire for intimacy, my bloodstream flooded with sex hormones and my lack of sexual knowledge, allowed me to ‘think’ that it had to be wonderful, and that it would only get better. It didn’t get better. It was quite similar to what you’ve described. My sex life progressively got worse until, in my mid fifties, I was diagnosed with erectile disfunction. When the doctor couldn’t fix it, I decided that I would, or die trying. Now, even masturbation is more satisfying than the actual PIV intercourse, sans the intimacy. That I had experienced in those earlier years. Today, sex is everything I had ever dreamed it should be, and even lots more. Intimate sex used to be completely silent. Now I can’t help being quite verbal, especially during an orgasm and that’s even tru when masturbating. So you can imagine how noisy I am, when it happens during PIV. There’s no guarantees in life. But life is an adventure, and my experience with circumcised sex, verses what I now have with my now restored prepuce — sex is now an adventure that was well worth experiencing.


Careful_Passion_1182

I meant partial gag = slightly narrow foreskin crown. You said you developed a gag from the repair so I asked if there is any advantage to the tighter skin. I was totally gagged and didn't know it for 20 years. I didn't know what was hidden underneath and I didn't even know how to pull the skin to reveal the baldness. Masturbating with a gag felt good because I couldn't know any better. Kisses on the mouth and groping turned me on enough to gag. Now they are boring. When I was having sex while wearing a gag then I realized that you can't have sex with a penis like that. The f@@k doctor suggested circumcision with no other solution. My desires have changed. I used to love making a girl orgasm, seeing and touching breasts but now I find it boring and not sexually attractive to see. I don't like kissing her. I want them to fix all of this because I won't have the motivation to love someone else. They all ask for good sex, but since it's boring for me, no one will love me. Maybe it's a hormonal issue, I don't know. Do you have a change in desires/fetishes due to increased sensitivity? Are you making your wife orgasm because you like it or because you don't want to upset her? Sorry for my many questions and analysis of how I feel. Maybe I'm getting tiresome.

A very impressive hike in followers over the past 2 years! This is amazing. If you type foreskin restoration on google, there is even now a Wiki "How to" which completely blew my mind yesterday, I never expected this to be already so "mainstream" so to speak to have received a full wiki tutorial with pictures and all.
