Parents, protect your babies. Support intactivism. The following list includes blogs, articles, and websites of interest to Intactivists that were published in the past week. This is a running tally of the ones I found interesting.

The big news this week is that Tally was interviewed for a foreskin restoration article at The Good Men Project Magazine. The article has information on restoring foreskin, along with a few opposing viewpoints.

Childbirth and… The Benefits of Keeping the Penis Intact
More parents are leaving their sons intact by avoiding circumcision of their sons. The article describes the increased health benefits in addition to the unequivocal pleasures of foreskin later in life.

Doubting Marcus: The Doctors on San Francisco’s Proposed Circumcision Ban
freedom0speech does a good job of disecting and rebutting The Doctors show on male infant circumcision. The show aired on the 12th of January 2011 and was blatantly pro-circ. It is a very well done and sourced video on male circumcision that shoots down all the preposterous reasons people give as to why it's okay.

Looking for the perfect holiday present for that someone special? How about a book? How about a book celebrating the foreskin?

I Want My Foreskin for Giftmas would be a unique gift. Author Carl J. Schutt wrote a book for adults that is an educational and eye-popping look at how one man searches for what was lost during his circumcision. He even has a sing-along video on YouTube.

The book is illustrated with cut paper and starts out with the verse

The first time I went searching
I looked under a rock
for that little ring of flesh
belonging to my cock.

The book is very colorful and would be great sitting on a coffee table. It is also a great conversation starter for those friends and relatives who are about to give birth and may be thinking of circumcising their newborn boy. Read more . . .

Often, foreskin restorers ask if a device is better than t-tape. Sometimes they ask if t-taping is better than manual tugging. I previously addressed the question of what foreskin restoration method is best? Here I will address why I do not think the tugging method is that critical to restoration progress.

There are two aspects to restoring foreskin: the method used to apply tension and the tugging routine for applying that tension.

Methods of applying tension to restore a foreskin include tape, manual tugging, and a multitude of devices. These methods are just different ways of applying tension to your skin to induce mitosis. All methods work. The tugging methods differ in convenience, comfort, and expense.

It is important for the long-term success in restoring a foreskin that the method of applying tension be one that fits into your lifestyle. For me, manual tugging is the way to go. I do not want to mess with a tugging device. Nor do I like the way tugging devices feel under my clothes. Since I need to wear clothes to work, I choose to not wear a device. That is my choice and others will, most assuredly, feel differently. Read more . . .
