Vicky, I certainly respect your point of view, but it seems you have mistaken my meaning.
As a true-equality feminist and a proponent of bodily autonomy, I believe women are as equally free to choose how they experience (or don't experience) sex as men are. I have personally known men who chose not to lose their virginity until their late 20's, and I fully supported their choice to wait. It is my, and every other person's, right as a sexual being to experience what they find personally pleasurable.
Pleasure is uniquely different from person to person. One person may find frequent, impersonal sex with a variety of partners to be pleasurable. Another person may find sex is only pleasure when had with a long-term/permanent partner. If you find it more pleasing to wait, then wait. If another woman (or man) chooses not to wait, then they should have knowledgeably consensual sex as they see fit.
My choice of words was meant to express that it is my right, as an equal and sexual being, to pursue sexual pleasure as I see fit. The point is to shirk off the labels of "male/female," "good/bad," or "prude/slut," not establish a new mold.
I am 15 from Georgia in the us. And I also have a skin bridge, I'm thinking about the procedure as well. My main fears are asking my mom about the procedure lol, getting an erection around doctors, and sex with a skin bridge. I'm also very weary of not being able to masturbate for a while. So I'm seriously considering the operation, despite the awkward and personal nature. There's a lot of benefit from the operation, but then again it doesn't seem like a big deal. So ones that have had the operation or wives/girlfriends of men who have had the operation what are some direct benefits to having the operation as well as some reasons to not get the operation done. Thanks!
I'm a 33-year old Finn, who was circumcised 10 days ago due to medical reasons (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lichen_sclerosus). Even after receiving "trust me, it'll be fine"-consolations after the operation from my friends, who also have been circumcised as adults for medical reasons and say their sexual experience has not changed significantly, I have been absolutely devastated. Even though being a stolid Finn, I can't remember when I have cried this much and hard for such extented periods.
Even before the aforementioned medical condition, my foreskin was somewhat tight and my glans was always fully covered even while fully erect, but it didn't negatively impact masturbation or sex; on the contrary, the sensation was spectacular: no lube needed, tremorous orgasms. I had some trouble with my aim while urinating, but I was able to properly clean my penis, so all-in-all I had no severe problems with "handling my junk".
I'm a very fast healer, so at this point I've already gotten rid of the sutures, albeit soluble (the operation wound had healed and I didn't want scarring tunnels) and today had my first post-circumcision sexual experience with my girlfriend. It was underwhelming beyond words. I know that it will probably get a whole lot better, and I shouldn't jump to conclusions at this point, but I'm not willing to take any chances, not with something as important as this. Especially when the keratinization of the glans is happening at a rate which is downright frightening.
Luckily, I've known about foreskin restoration for many years, thanks to seeing the "Penn & Teller - Bullshit!"-show about it. Funny how such random things can turn out to be so important later on. So I started searching information about the process quite immediately after the operation, because I had a strong feeling that being circumcised would dramatically lessen my quality of life.
And so I found my way here. This site has been a real lifesaver, I am now fully confident that I can achieve real, concete results with just manual methods and in a reasonable timeframe. I was in the illusion, that foreskin restoration would require unwieldy and cumbersome apparatuses, that would cause me constant headaches in my work in industrial manufacturing and on-site installation. Some slight swelling still exists, so it's hard to say definitely, but my academic guess would be that I'm somewhere in the CI-3 zone at this point. I'm aiming for complete flaccid coverage, and plan to use manual tugging (method 2 seemed very practical) with the Manhood retainer.
So, thank you for this site, thank you for all the detailed, useful information, THANK YOU. The road ahead doesn't seem so insurmountable at all after reading your experiences on the matter. In Finland, circumcisions are made almost solely for necessary medical purposes, so finding information on the subject in Finnish is closely related to the proverbial haystack.
Even if I find in the following weeks that everything is fine as it is, no action required, this site has given me the peace of mind that I need for recovery. And if I decide to go for restoration through tugging, I promise to keep everyone up to speed. Should I do it on this post's comment field or some other way?
Wow, the geometry is not the same but the basic idea is similar. I wonder how they're able to make them so cheap. This must be something that hookah lounges buy by the thousands so each user has a fresh mouth interface?
We just need to get the market for restoring into the millions so we can tool up for mass production and buy silicone in 55 gallon drums.
Hey, a real concern is the future of the male reproductive delivery system, men. Male babies need over 15 years to complete correct long term development, just like girl babies need time to finish genital development. If you keep messing with the genitals, there is a high risk of effecting future generations. Altering the infant male genitals is a heinous crime and has to stop. Society worries more about male frogs laying eggs from drinking the poluted waters ( which is a female job ) than about human beings' future.
Firstly, let me just apologise by hijacking the article with an off-topic rant, but:
...thank you for you artical, but I take issue with the following quote: "As a woman who has embraced her right to pleasure as a sexual being, I have had experience with both cut and intact men." This implies that you must have sex with more than one man to embrace your right as a sexual being. A woman (or man) can embrace their sexuality, and also be a virgin, somebody who waited until marriage, or only have sex in long term relationships. This is because sex is personal and subjective, and I don't like society's tendency to virgin shaming, or dictating that "good sex" as having as many partners as possible in as many different ways as possible, and if you don't enjoy that there's something wrong with you.
As a 22 year old virgin, I'm embracing my sexuality by waiting until someone serious comes along. To me, sex cannot be separated form love. That's the way I am, and I'm not going to change to be seen as "liberated" or "modern", or any of those other terms that are currently used to encourage girls into having lots of sexual partners. It's interesting that, in the middle of the last century, women were socially coerced into being more like men (promiscuous) rather than vice versa. Many women view the gateway to their wombs as precious, and a privilege to have access to, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm still embracing my sexuality, just not in the way that society and feminism dictates that I should.
Of course if a woman enjoys casual sex, that may be orgnaic and not because she has been influenced by society. I hope it doesn't come across like I'm suggest that. Just expressing my minoirity viewpoint here.
I am uncomfortable with the idea of women calling themselves victims of male circumcision. It is his body. A man wouldn't call himself a victim of the analogous type of female circumcision (when the clitoral hood is removed) because she can't enjoy sex or something. A man would rightfully be criticised for saying he suffered secondarily due to childbirth if his partners birth canal stretched.
If I fell in love with a circumcised man, I would never consider myself to be a victim. If I loved him I'm sure we would find ways around any vaginal pain or penile insensitivity. That's what people do when they love each other - they want to make each other happy and will find ways to acheive that. The end of the penis is a very small part of of the body, and sex is a small part of a relationship. I'm not dismissing the trauma, especialy gender-related, caused by genital mutilation, I'm just saying that a cut man (or woman) can still be a happy and fulfilled person, and find love with someone who accepts them for who they are.
Thanks for sharing your story. Im 27 and have a skin bridge on the left side of my shaft, connected to the very base of my head. Its a nuisance. Very slight pain every time I get an erection and always pulls my penis to the left as there is just no slack left on that side of my penis with the skin bridge.
Ive been wanting to get this repaired for a long while but have yet to have insurance and not even sure insurance would cover it. I have no idea who to see about it and am slightly embarrassed to go hunting around asking doctors who I should see. I dont know why that would embarrass me but it does. Ive been with a few handfuls of women and none seemed to mind, but definitely always feel like they are just eyeing it.
So my questions are.. what kind of doctor should I seek out for this, and about how much does a procedure like this cost?
I'm european, and came to the USA as a teenager. I remember going round a friend's house to swim in his pool. The thing that I really remember was that the glans of his penis were bare. This was the first time I had seen a cut penis. Mine was completely covered. Not knowing about circumcision at the time, I thought this rather odd. Years passed, and I went away to college. The second year, I was in a dorm with a communial shower. At that time, my foreskin covered most of my glans, but not all of it. I was self conscious of my foreskin at the time, and of washing under it infront of others. So, I would pull my foreskin back, so it was behind the edges (corona) of my glans and exposed my glans completely. I got in a habit of doing this before I went to bed each night. Over time, my foreskin got shorter and would only cover the edges of my glans (corona).
Years later, my foreskin remained short, and I thought that this was a normal thing for the foreskin to get shorter with age. After reading articles about foreskin restoration, I realized that mine had gotten shorter from what I had done back in my college days. I decided to make mine longer again. By gently stretching it manually, it has taken me about 10 years to get it to cover the glans again. I do notice that the glans is not dry like it was before, and that there may be a bit more sensitivity. But, this isn't a good comparison to a person who was circumsized, as I had never lost the total function of my foreskin.
I would never recommend circumcision to anyone. If a person is so embarrased by their foreskin, I would recommend that they do what I did. It can always be stretched out again. And, I'm sure that if I decided again that I wanted it short again, I could keep it behind the glans and it will get shorter over time. If need be, it can be taped in place if it moves while doing this.
My question, now that I know how to make it any length that I want, what length would be best in terms of function and looks. Should there be some degree of "overhang" and if so, how much? Also, what would be too long?
Had a friend who bought this. He stopped me to show me the outside of his sock one day, pointing out how the tight woven high thread count fabric was getting all rough and pulled apart from contact with his underwear and such. "This is happening to your D!<#," he said. I'm now looking into the product. He also pointed out the awkwardness he felt at a urinal once when someone noticed the trouble he was having untying something before he could pee. His was a laced version.
My experience is similar, but different. At 36, my skin bridge had to go. 2 weeks ago I had the procedure. 4 stiches in the glans and 3 in the foreskin later, here is what I can share.
1) dissolving stitches. These things are a blessing and a curse. Blessing because they desolve. Curse because as guys, we understand during the day while not erect, the penis still rolls in and out a bit as we move, so cotton underwear from days 3-5 reminded me of the stiches as they hooked on. Not a major deal but like a slight and brief prick, quick adjust, then forgot.
2) I was shocked the day of surgery when I awoke to almost no pain. Felt more like I was chaffed once the numb wore off around 2 hours after the procedure.
3) I was offered just to be numbed up or go to sleep. I choose sleep. I didn't undergo normal anestesia, rather, "twilight" like if you get a colonoscopy.
4) It hasn't been the ordeal I expected. I was instructed to keep neosporin on it for the first 3 days, changing and cleaning 3 times a day. No big deal in the morning or at night. Awkward taking care of it in a stall at work.
5) Masterbating. I was able to do so day 10. My balls ached and I had to do it. With no infection and 3 of the stiches already desolved, one word: relief.
6) Of course, no sex for 3-4 weeks, but my follow up is mid next week and if the rest of the stiches dissolve by then, I'm sure I will be cleared for in bed activities.
Masterbating alone has already shown me it feels different and much better. Mine was on the underside of my penis, an while it always looked like it was pulling the head down very hard with erections - I was so used to the discomfort, it don't hurt in my mind. Now I can tell it caused discomfort. I'm glad I went trough with it. It is a "grown man" and selfish decision but my wife and I think at times the bridge could have held bacteria I could not clean and cause her discomfort as well, so I did it for myself but also my wife. If you are considering the procedure, at least see a urologist and get options, and stop wondering. Oh, and if you worry about a doc looking at your penis, do not worry about it. Dealing with a male surgeon and urologist helped with modesty because those guys care less about looking at my medical problem than I cared about showing them, very professional and clinical. If you fear an erection, do not fear it. My urologist asked me o pull down my pants for the exam and said "don't be nervous, and if you become slightly or fully erect do not pay attention to it. Your body is responding to my examination." I did not become erect but was assured it was ok if I did. Case and point it was very professional and the benefits to me are cleanliness and my bridge would rip sometimes during sex due to friction. That will no longer be a problem, very happy I went through with it and you will be also.
You can certainly have true love anyway, millions do. We can take responsibility for our lives from where we are. Everyone has been violated, now what are we going to do with ourselves? Your foreskin was stolen but not "all" of you and your life. You have to decide what you are going to do with your life. You don't have to maintain the attitude of a victim. All these men were circumcised, but they are taking their power back, you can too.
I just want to say this makes me feel awful. How could this be done to me? I can never have true love with anyone because of this. My whole world has fallen apart and this is the main reason. I dont know what to do foreskin restoration seems to impractical for me at the moment and my life is ticking away, I have had it all stolen from me.
I am quadrapalegic and have a catheter in all the time, it should not hurt! be careful when inserting it to use lots of lube! A uroligest told me many nurses use too little so demand extra! Also some people use whats called in out catheters and u just go into bathroom open the package and stick it into your bladder, though urethra, drain and remove. U can get prelubed ones that are easy and sterile. It is not dificult or scary. My advise is talk to a uroligest for the best options 4 you!
Before we had our last son I was restoring my foreskin n that is what made us dcide to leave him intact along with lots of research. Google foreskin restoration. There u will find an apperatous that ur husband wears to help in stretching his foreskin. I need to start streatching again but I do have extra skin that does go over head. Hope this helps.
When we were asked if we wanted to have our son circumcised (about a month before his birth they asked our plans) we told them we would do more research and let them know...
both my husband and I did research, and we felt the benefits of keeping him whole, outweighed the risks...so when he was born and they asked if we wanted him circumcised... I said NO, abslutely NOT
seeing these stories (and some images of botched cuttings) make me soooo much happier that we kept his penis intact.
however my husband IS cut, and has very little sensation in the head of his penis, little enough that If I wanted to, I could literally bite down on it and he wouldn't feel much more than pressure...no sharp teeth, no pain...
we have been looking into the regrowth options, and I wonder (since he wont ask) what is the //best// way to regrow, and will any sensitivity be restored?
Hi, I've regretable circumcised last year and now i'm starting to loose the sensitivity on my glans, is putting a condom helpful to restore the sensitivity ??
My husband has this same problem, although he has never complained, it somewhat bothers me. With this information, I will try to convince my husband to have this procedure done, but I don't think he will budge on this idea. Thanks for sharing your story, and nice dick by the way.
i am a 36 year old woman who has had quite alot of sex in life. with men and women. i have never been able to reach orgasm by any other means than masturbation, and not for lack of trying. i have come very close and thought i had had orgasms before when having sex with other people, but now i know i was only coming close to a sort of clitoral orgasm climax and then getting extremely frustrated. (i read recently that women can have 11 different kinds of orgasms). i now have an uncut lover for the first time and the second time we had sex i had several very intense deep orgasms where i was left spasming and writhing on the bed. the magic recipe was us thrusting together (in any position) while he rubbed my clit. and voila, orgasm within about 2-3 minutes. and no small orgasm either. huge, super wet, dramatic ones, one right after another. i actually have to stop him because i start to hyperventilate after about 6. now, if that doesn't sound like fun, ladies, i don't know what does? he also has phimosis, i discovered, when trying to figure out why his penis works so well for me. (which means his foreskin is tight or he has alot or foreskin and it is also tight? so it does not pull back to expose the head of his penis and actually covers his whole penis even the head when he is erect, causing him no problems and causing immense pleasure for me). and i have to say having experienced alot of cut penises before, i have never experienced sensations like with his uncut penis. i will reach orgasm very quickly in any position (with clitoral stimulation, ofcourse!, don't forget this one, boys and girls) but with doggy style, the sensations are unreal!!!
as one who wasn't asked, I have no choice and therefore no opinion! If the decision was bases on skin or no skin, I would loose. But since adults don't make those kind of satement, I must be free to be judged on my other attributes (like who thick my penis is!
Restoring Tally is just an ordinary guy who had to confront his prostate and circumcision problems. This site chronicles his journey in dealing with these issues. He has had prostate surgery and he is restoring his foreskin.

Thank you for this post. Also circumcision can increase the chances of certain illness, such as vaginal cancer in the partners of cut men.
I think the lack of penile sensitivity in cut men might be exacerbated by condom use, hence their reluctance to use them.
I am uncomfortable with the idea of women calling themselves victims of male circumcision. It is his body. A man wouldn't call himself a victim of the analogous type of female circumcision (when the clitoral hood is removed) because she can't enjoy sex or something.

6) Of course, no sex for 3-4 weeks, but my follow up is mid next week and if the rest of the stiches dissolve by then, I'm sure I will be cleared for in bed activities.
Masterbating alone has already shown me it feels different and much better. Mine was on the underside of my penis, an while it always looked like it was pulling the head down very hard with erections - I was so used to the discomfort, it don't hurt in my mind. Now I can tell it caused discomfort. I'm glad I went trough with it. It is a "grown man" and selfish decision but my wife and I think at times the bridge could have held bacteria I could not clean and cause her discomfort as well, so I did it for myself but also my wife. If you are considering the procedure, at least see a urologist and get options, and stop wondering. Oh, and if you worry about a doc looking at your penis, do not worry about it. Dealing with a male surgeon and urologist helped with modesty because those guys care less about looking at my medical problem than I cared about showing them, very professional and clinical. If you fear an erection, do not fear it. My urologist asked me o pull down my pants for the exam and said "don't be nervous, and if you become slightly or fully erect do not pay attention to it. Your body is responding to my examination." I did not become erect but was assured it was ok if I did. Case and point it was very professional and the benefits to me are cleanliness and my bridge would rip sometimes during sex due to friction. That will no longer be a problem, very happy I went through with it and you will be also.
I have my skin bridge that I will remove it in 15 march
You can certainly have true love anyway, millions do. We can take responsibility for our lives from where we are. Everyone has been violated, now what are we going to do with ourselves? Your foreskin was stolen but not "all" of you and your life. You have to decide what you are going to do with your life. You don't have to maintain the attitude of a victim. All these men were circumcised, but they are taking their power back, you can too.
I just want to say this makes me feel awful. How could this be done to me? I can never have true love with anyone because of this. My whole world has fallen apart and this is the main reason. I dont know what to do foreskin restoration seems to impractical for me at the moment and my life is ticking away, I have had it all stolen from me.
I am quadrapalegic and have a catheter in all the time, it should not hurt! be careful when inserting it to use lots of lube! A uroligest told me many nurses use too little so demand extra! Also some people use whats called in out catheters and u just go into bathroom open the package and stick it into your bladder, though urethra, drain and remove. U can get prelubed ones that are easy and sterile. It is not dificult or scary. My advise is talk to a uroligest for the best options 4 you!
Before we had our last son I was restoring my foreskin n that is what made us dcide to leave him intact along with lots of research. Google foreskin restoration. There u will find an apperatous that ur husband wears to help in stretching his foreskin. I need to start streatching again but I do have extra skin that does go over head. Hope this helps.
When we were asked if we wanted to have our son circumcised (about a month before his birth they asked our plans) we told them we would do more research and let them know...
both my husband and I did research, and we felt the benefits of keeping him whole, outweighed the risks...so when he was born and they asked if we wanted him circumcised... I said NO, abslutely NOT
seeing these stories (and some images of botched cuttings) make me soooo much happier that we kept his penis intact.
however my husband IS cut, and has very little sensation in the head of his penis, little enough that If I wanted to, I could literally bite down on it and he wouldn't feel much more than pressure...no sharp teeth, no pain...
we have been looking into the regrowth options, and I wonder (since he wont ask) what is the //best// way to regrow, and will any sensitivity be restored?
Hi, I've regretable circumcised last year and now i'm starting to loose the sensitivity on my glans, is putting a condom helpful to restore the sensitivity ??
My husband has this same problem, although he has never complained, it somewhat bothers me. With this information, I will try to convince my husband to have this procedure done, but I don't think he will budge on this idea. Thanks for sharing your story, and nice dick by the way.
i am a 36 year old woman who has had quite alot of sex in life. with men and women. i have never been able to reach orgasm by any other means than masturbation, and not for lack of trying. i have come very close and thought i had had orgasms before when having sex with other people, but now i know i was only coming close to a sort of clitoral orgasm climax and then getting extremely frustrated. (i read recently that women can have 11 different kinds of orgasms). i now have an uncut lover for the first time and the second time we had sex i had several very intense deep orgasms where i was left spasming and writhing on the bed. the magic recipe was us thrusting together (in any position) while he rubbed my clit. and voila, orgasm within about 2-3 minutes. and no small orgasm either. huge, super wet, dramatic ones, one right after another. i actually have to stop him because i start to hyperventilate after about 6. now, if that doesn't sound like fun, ladies, i don't know what does? he also has phimosis, i discovered, when trying to figure out why his penis works so well for me. (which means his foreskin is tight or he has alot or foreskin and it is also tight? so it does not pull back to expose the head of his penis and actually covers his whole penis even the head when he is erect, causing him no problems and causing immense pleasure for me). and i have to say having experienced alot of cut penises before, i have never experienced sensations like with his uncut penis. i will reach orgasm very quickly in any position (with clitoral stimulation, ofcourse!, don't forget this one, boys and girls) but with doggy style, the sensations are unreal!!!
as one who wasn't asked, I have no choice and therefore no opinion! If the decision was bases on skin or no skin, I would loose. But since adults don't make those kind of satement, I must be free to be judged on my other attributes (like who thick my penis is!
