    Baby Mario being genitally mutilated without consent

    What I would like to know is what happened to the female doctor that sexually mutilated Mario permanetely? Surely she should not only be fired but be put into prison as a sex offender. What she did was rape. There was NO consent form so there is NO excuse for what happened. My heart and soul pours out to Mario and his family. No amount of money can make up for having your baby sexually tortured and for Mario having the most sensitive part of his penis amputated.

    Not all intact men are CI-10

    Intact foreskins come in all sizes, just like penises come in all sizes.

    If you look at much intact porn, you will notice the variation in foreskin length. For example, the Celebrating Foreskin Tumbler shows pictures of men who have acroposthion (foreskin overhang when erect) and pictures of men whose foreskin covers only a part of their glans when erect, such as this intact man.

    Depends

    I think people get too caught up in the coverage index. It is only a guide.

    I do not really have a good idea of where I started. When I first learned about foreskin restoration, I started tugging immediately. I have no starting pictures and no starting measurements. I knew I did not have a foreskin and I wanted one. So, I started tugging right then and there as soon as I found the manual tugging instructions.

    I found the Coverage Index shortly after I started restoring. I was a bit more than CI-2 when flaccid, but less than a CI-3. I had wrinkles, but not much bunching. Erect, my skin was very tight and I was a CI-1. The difference in coverage index is because I am a grower. 

    It does not matter how much skin you have when you start, only how much you have when you are finished. For those with very tight cuts with no or little slack skin, they will almost immediately notice the difference from tugging as their skin loosens up. I could tell the difference after a week of tugging.

    Uncut Guy

    I have a question regarding the varying length of most if not all other uncut males around. According to what my younger brother told me about his ‘coverage’, he could easily be mistaken for a cut guy when erect (and he’s uncut).

    My question is this: How is that possible when I’ve heard that every male in Europe can’t see their glands, unless intentionally retracted before erect? These European guys would have what I have, which is a CI-10 (I’m stretching for a CI-11/ you can never have too much foreskin), as I never get to see my glands! I have a considerable amount of skin as overhang even when erect. Could it be possible that anyone under CI-10 is actually cut but received a lighter incision (aka-shorter hair cut) than the norm due to changing regulations or policies in the medical world? My younger brother was born in 1985, I was born in 1983, though I’ve asked the “rents” and my mother insists she REJECTED that procedure for any of her male-children when the doctor asked her to reconsider.

    I guess I’m wondering if we’re all in reality CI-10s (even with giant dicks) when at birth, although displayed differently in our penile anatomies, except there’s a specific surgical procedure that reduces the length of the coverage (depending on how much the parents want off).

    Okay, so I’ve decided we’re all CI-10s at birth, just some have been given light hair cuts while others were left untouched, and still others were nearly castrated by a maniac with a sharp object and having a bad day hehe!

    I am C1 (maybe less!) and people say they think you started at C1 but I don't believe it. Everyone who says that has more skin than I do. What did you start at? C2?

    Infant circumcision.

    I'm 73 now. I have this memory about dreadful, horrible, want to not be here, go back horrible place. I didn't know the words then but those were the feelings on my infant circumcision. I now boast 32 scars on the glans of my penis where the doctor "Lysed off the foreskin" and my penis is so insensitve that normal sex is not possible. This has had a terrible effect on my marriage making my wife feel inadequate and unloved. I so wish they had just left the fucking thing ALONE!

    Little data

    I agree, there has been little research on male sexuality. All we have to go on is anecdotal evidence. And it overwhelmingly indicates that foreskin restoration improves sexual pleasure and a man's sense of well-being.

    As for getting data before restoration, I am not sure I would be able to respond  sexually if I were to be hooked up to test equipment monitoring my bodily responses during orgasm. Worse yet, it would have to be done over a period of time to determine a normal range. Then it would have to be repeated at intervals during restoration to determine the difference. On an individual level I see little practical need for all that testing. Foreskin restoration works. For those just starting, they need to have faith, at least for a little while. Typically, some improvement is noted within a couple months.

    I must admit

    Your manual tugging sounds like a better start. These other devices scare the hell out of me. I go to the bathroom a lot and they all have a strap and look so . . . awkward. Does that DTR device serve as good alternative (without strap)? 

    Man, I've got no coverage. They took it all. Skin barely gets above the bottom of the glans. I was born in '62 when hair cuts were very short. I think he wanted to give me penis a sharp hair cut. Sigh. 

    PS: It would be helpful if people would get a lab reading of their plateau, orgasm, resolution before and after. All these anecdotes but no data! 

    Problem is sex researchers were totally bored with men after Masters and Johnson. Almost all the research is on the amazing variety and capacity of women (including the recent brain scans of women who can "think to orgasm" - they found dozens of women easily to participate but no man with the ability. Our brains are wired to get the least amount of pleasure to ejaculate and reproduce. But they did an alternative with some device getting the men to orgasm to see brain wave activity. It was hard to study the male orgasm because it was such a short flicker on the scan compared to the woman's. 

    But any lab reading - blood pressure rise and fall, heart beats, anal contractions.

    Restored is not intact

    You are correct. Being restored is not the same as being intact. But after being circumcised, restoring my foreskin is the closest I can get to being intact. 

    Sex is a bazillion times better after restoring. I have whole body orgasms, which I never had before I started restoring. These orgasms are like waves that keep washing over me. They are much better than the single explosion that I used to experience. The gliding action of the restored foreskin is something I never knew existed until I started restoring. It is great to not have that irritation in my shorts from the sensitive parts of my penis rubbing against my clothes. Read my posts on the benefits of foreskin restoration for more details.

    But how does it FEEL?

    Pre-orgasmic? Orgasm? 

    You say it is more comfortable but anything else? 

    A woman who pointed me to your site said her intact lovers "pulsated" for minutes with her but do you? Because restored is not INTACT. 

    Just curious.

    Wow I have had a bridge my whole life and never noticed it . It is right at the top and so evenly placed I thought it was supposed to be there ! I deny realize it was different until a recent partner brought it to my attention that it was different . Now I realize that I have scar tissue all over my glans and I saying that I now know why I get little pleasure from sex . I always thought it was because of my stamina but now I know it's because of de sensitivity. I think it ruined my marriage by ruining my sex life. She always complained it " takes too long" , as in too long for me to orgasm after she did!

    My Manhood

    Okay,  I've been wearing it for 30 days...  It's taken time to get used to it. Especially since I'm a nudist and only wore it when i had to out cloths on. What i didn't realize, that leaving "it" uncovered was drying it out. So,  I've gotten used to wearing it all the time. Its been a funny joke with my fellow nudist. 

    All i can say is...  Get one,  actually get a couple... My level of sensitivity has increased soooo much. Your level may not be like mine but don't give up. 

    I don't get to restore as much as I'd like to and have resolved that i will wear my Manhood proudly, untill I'm fully restored or dead.

    true and depressing

    It's true. It's much better when the guy has a foreskin.

    I dated someone for years and years who was intact, and haven't found anyone since then who was intact or restoring.

    It's depressing so many guys my age are circumcised.

     

    Ways it's better with an intact guy:

    -Guy has more control over orgasm.

    -Squishy awesome feeling, even when there is a condom. 

    -Feels sexual.

    -Looks like a sexual organ, does not look dried-out.

    -Easier to give blow jobs when the head is softer and squishier.

    -More things you can do with it. 

    -Fun if he has a frenulum. 

    -More vicarious enjoyment when the guy is enjoying it more.

    -Quickies are easier if he can come quickly.

    -Smaller thrusting motions, more contact with your body.

    -Guy does not mind condoms as much if he has enough sensitivity. 

    -The guy and girl want similar things in sex, not this struggle between what feels good for the guy (hard banging) and what feels good for the girl).

    -More sensual and intimate.

    I'm a 30 year old female.

    I'm a 30 year old female. I've been with 43 male sexual partners. I can say with 100% certainty that I LOVE foreskin.  Six of my 43 lovers were intact. They manner in which they thrusted was different and every single one of them consistently maintained their erections after their first ejaculation. Only a few of my cut lovers have had the ability to do that but with no consistentcy. So all six of my intact lovers regularly had multiple orgasams that weren't inturrupted by a flaccid penis cut guys seemed shocked by this. I'll gladly admit that I've had some wonderful cut lovers too, but even that group of 10 or so had 'loose' circumcisions with at least some of their frenulums intact. In my experience, the tighter the circumcision the less pleasurable the sex. I've never had the need for lube with any of my intact lovers but regularly required it with some of the cut ones.

    I can vividly remember the first time I performed oral sex on an intact guy. It was amazing, I had thought that my prior dislike for giving oral sex was a flaw on my part, but once I had a complete penis to 'play' with my whole attitude changed. I had fun and enjoyed myself. There are so many more options of things to do. I once read a book, I can't recall the exact title but it was something along the lines of '101 ways to perform fellatio' It must have been written by an european author beause over half of the techniques listed required the presence of a foreskin. :( As much as I hate to say it... the truth is I find the circumcision scar to be visually less than pleasing. There's even been a few that sparked the thougth "wow... that had to hurt" I feel bad for feeling that way but as uncomfortable as it is to say and I imagine to hear it's the truth.

    I never noticed a difference in penile odor. I've smelled some stinky scrotums here and there but have found that to be more related to the ambient temperature and amount of time since last bathed. The smelliest guy I have ever been with was cut. Personally I think all body odor is directly related to diet not the amount of skin on your genitals. All genitals have an odor cutting parts of doesn't remove or really even reduce odor and even if it did that odor contains pheromones that aide in sexual arousal why wouldn't you want that? 

    My current lover is cut but undergoing restoration. I am proud to be his supporter. With in 6 weeks of the process I started to notice a difference. We haven't had the need for lube in over 6 months! Giving him oral pleasure is no longer tedious and boring. The coronal ridge of his glans is sooo much softer and more sensitive (according to him) I look forward to the day when the rest of the glans is like that too!!!
