Information on foreskins in general

Acroposthion

by Tally on October 29, 2009
Visit http://www.acroposthion.com/

A website that celebrates the male foreskin. Topics include hygiene, circumcision, Ancient Greeks and the kynodesme, circumcision damage, perceptions, sex, and foreskin restoration.

The acroposthion is the portion of the human foreskin or prepuce that extends past the glans. That is, it is the overhanging tip of the foreskin.

Foreskin of the Day picture site

by Tally-admin on November 1, 2011
Visit http://www.CelebratingForeskin.com/

Foreskin of the Day is an intactivist site that celebrates the male foreskinNEW UPDATE! The Foreskin of the Day and Intact For Life websites are shutdown. For those wanting to see foreskin pictures, there are other websites. My favorite is Celebrating Foreskin on Tumblr.

---------------------------------------

Old Update! The creator of the Foreskin of the Day website created a new website in March 2011. Intact for Life features information and pictures on intact men. The new site provides a positive view for being intact, as nature intended men to be. Intact for Life will continue the tradition of the Foreskin of the Day site by offering pictures of intact men in its blog section. Other sections of the site provide information for young men on what it means to be intact, including the care and handling of the foreskin.

---------------------------------------

Old Breaking News! The Foreskin of the Day website is down! As of February 20, 2011, I have not been able to load the site. I have no idea when the site will return, if it ever does. In the mean time, you may want to check out Intact Men, 4skindelight, NORM: New England, Acroposthion, and Celebrating Foreskin on Tumblr for some good foreskin pictures of intact men. These Tumblr sites are NSFW.

I was circumcised at birth and looking at these pictures reminds me of what I lost by being circumcised. Fortunately, foreskin restoration is letting me enjoy some of the advantages of a foreskin.

---------------------------------------

Old Post: Foreskin of the Day is an intactivist site that celebrates the male foreskin.

Every day a new picture is shown. The pictures are in the style of glamour shots, showing the beauty of the model and his intact equipment. As a man who was circumcised shortly after birth, I wish I still had my whole sex organ. These pictures remind me of what I lost.

Along with each featured picture is a comment, some information, tip, or advice relating to intactivism. The site hopes to debunk foreskin myths and educate as well as show all what a foreskin looks like. People may be surprised by what they learn.

Foreskin of the Day is explicit. The site asks how can a blog celebrate the foreskin if it can't show pictures of them? Anyone offended by nudity, should not visit the site.

Study published in BJUI (British Journal of Urology International), Volume 99, Issue 4, Pages 864-869 (March 2007). This is the Sorrells study. The Sorrels study is remarkable because it used objective measurements to determine fine-touch sensitivity of various parts of the intact penis and the circumcumcised penis, showing that circumcision removes the most sensitive parts of the penis.

DOI: 10.1046/j.1464-410x.1999.0830s1034.x  The authors describe the prepuce as a common anatomical structure of both male and female genitalia. The authors discuss the embryology, anatomy, and function of the prepuce.  Based on the complex anatomy and the function of the prepuce, or foreskin, the authors advise against neonatal (infant) circumcision. The state that the removal of normal genital anatomy in children and infants should be deferred until the individual can make their own informed choice.

What Is the Foreskin?

Visit http://www.enotalone.com/article/3509.html

An article by Paul M. Fleiss, M.D., and Frederick M. Hodges about the male foreskin. The two provide a detailed description of the foreskin and how it functions with the rest of the penis.

The article discusses what is the foreskin, how big is the foreskin, what does the ridged band do, why is the foreskin attached and not retractable for young children, and what are the specialized nerver receptors in the foreskin. With the circumcising culture in the United States, very little is known about the foreskin, how it works, and why it is there. Dr. Fleiss and Fred Hodges answer many of the questions people have about the foreskin.

YouTube: Explanation of Foreskin (and circumcision) with Computer Animation

Visit http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s454Ay_SgWM

This video is from the UK company that makes the SenSlip, a manufactured artificial foreskin designed to protect the mucosa so it will shed the keratinized skin. The SenSlip is a fast fix to de-keratinize the penis. Using the SenSlip is useful to quickly show men the benefits of covering the penis with a foreskin by letting them experience more sensation. Many men decide that it is worth the time and effort to restore their foreskin (growing new skin) by applying tension.

Foreskin Care (8)

Care of the foreskin for intact infants, boys, and men

Basic Care of the Intact Child

by Tally on January 31, 2010
Visit http://www.drmomma.org/2010/01/basic-care-of-intact-child.html

Thorough and detailed information on how to care for a boy with an intact penis, that is, a boy who is not circumcised. At first, an infant does not require any special care of his intact penis - just wipe like a finger. Care of a circumcised infant is much different because the circumcision wound must be handled carefully and kept clean as it heals. The article notes that the foreskin may not retract naturally until after the boy is 10 years old or older.

Visit http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1195128/?tool=pmcentrez

Study published in Genitourin Med. (currently Sexually Transmitted Infections), 1993 October; 69(5): 400–403. This study shows that using soap to wash under the foreskin contributes to balanitis.

For 72% of the patients with recurrent balinitis, "a diagnosis of irritant dermatitis was made. In comparison with the remaining patients, they had a greater lifetime incidence of atopic illness and more frequent daily genital washing with soap. For 28 (90%) of these patients, use of emollient creams and restriction of soap washing alone controlled symptoms satisfactorily."

Glansie for treating phimosis

by Tally-admin on November 29, 2010
Visit http://www.glansie.com/

Glansie for treating phimosisThe Glansie is a patented device that stretches the foreskin opening to treat phimosis. The tip of the tool is inserted in the opening of the foreskin and the tool is operated to gently stretch the opening. Over time, the opening of the prepuce enlarges, allowing the foreskin to fully retract.

Phimosis is a medical condition, occurring in many un-circumcised men, in which the foreskin cannot be fully retracted over the head of the penis. The condition is
embarrassing and reduces sensitivity of the penis during sexual intercourse.
Commonly it may also lead to infection of the head of the penis, causing irritation and discharge.

The tightening of the foreskin is caused by a tight preputial ring, a band of fibrous tissue at the end of the foreskin. Glansie allows you to stretch the preputial ring, gradually increasing the amount by which the foreskin can be retracted. This is a completely natural process, accomplished in the comfort of your own home.

Moral Landscapes: What Is the Greatest Danger for an Uncircumcised Boy? A doctor’s visit can harm your boy. Written by John Geisheker, J.D., LL.M. and published on October 23, 2011 by Darcia Narvaez, Ph.D. in Moral Landscapes, Psychology Today.

WHAT IS THE MOST DANGEROUS EVENT FACING AN 'INTACT' (NOT CIRCUMCISED) BOY?

Aside from circumcision? ... a well-baby visit. Our physicians' international non-profit intervenes in over 100 cases each year of intact boys who were injured by a primary care provider. The injury is called 'PFFR,' or Premature Forcible Foreskin Retraction. We conservatively estimate the annual incidence in the U.S. at more than 100,000 cases. Ironically, many occur when a parent takes the child to a well-baby visit, at 6, 12, or 24 months; but this injury might occur at any age. The children we have helped range in age from one week to 12 years.

Article published in Journal of the New Zealand Medical Association, September 12, 2003, Vol 116, No. 1181. Women reported that they are significantly more likely to experience vaginal dryness during sexual intercourse with circumcised men than with genitally intact men. The authors thought that the vaginal dryness becomes more apparent as women get older.

The authors concluded "Most likely, reported vaginal dryness and the related clinical designation female arousal disorder is but a normal female response to coitus with a man with an iatrogenically deficient penis." An iatrogenically deficient penis is one that has been circumcised.

The male subjects were circumcised for a benign desease. Penile sensation got worse for 18% of the men who got an adult circumcision. Only 61% of the men were satisfied with their adult circumcision. Considering that circumcision was for a disease, it is significant that not more men were satisfied with the cure.

Sex as Nature Intended it, a look at why foreskin is important and circumcison robs both partners Sex As Nature Intended It: The Most Important Thing You Need to Know About Making Love, is a book authored by Kristen O'Hara.

Chapter 8a, The Normal Thrusting Rhythm of the Natural Penis vs. The Abnormal Thrusting Rhythm of the Circumcised Penis: How It Affects a Woman's Sexual Pleasure during Intercourse is reproduced on the website.

I believe that once women come to realize how important the natural penis is to their sexual pleasure and love-relationship happiness, that the key to a woman's sexual ecstasy is the foreskin of the penis, that foreskin restoration by the man  will allow them to experience new joys from intercourse that they never thought possible, they will want their men to have foreskins.

Male circumcision and sexual function in men and women: a survey-based, cross-sectional study in Denmark

by Tally on June 18, 2011
Visit https://academic.oup.com/ije/article-abstract/40/5/1367/658163

Study published in International Journal of Epidemiology, April 2011. doi: 10.1093/ije/dyr104

Background One-third of the world’s men are circumcised, but little is known about possible sexual consequences of male circumcision. In Denmark (∼5% circumcised), we examined associations of male circumcision with a range of sexual measures in both sexes.
  
Results . . . circumcised men reported more partners and were more likely to report frequent orgasm difficulties after adjustment for potential confounding factors, and women with circumcised spouses more often reported incomplete sexual needs fulfilment and frequent sexual function difficulties overall, notably orgasm difficulties and dyspareunia.
  
Conclusions Circumcision was associated with frequent orgasm difficulties in Danish men and with a range of frequent sexual difficulties in women, notably orgasm difficulties, dyspareunia and a sense of incomplete sexual needs fulfilment.

Penile Sensitivity and Sexual Satisfaction after Circumcision: Are We Informing Men Correctly?

by Tally on February 8, 2010
Visit http://content.karger.com/ProdukteDB/produkte.asp?Aktion=ShowAbstract&ArtikelNr=85930&Ausgabe=230970&ProduktNr=224282

A study published in Urologia Internationalis, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2005 (Urol Int 2005;75:62-66) (DOI: 10.1159/000085930). The authors assessed the effect of circumcision on sexually active men and the relative impact this may have on informed consent prior to surgery. 

The male subjects were circumcised for a benign desease. Penile sensation got worse for 18% of the men who got an adult circumcision. Only 61% of the men were satisfied with their adult circumcision. Considering that circumcision was for a disease, it is significant that not more men were satisfied with the cure.

Sex As Nature Intended It: Top 10 Ways Circumcised Sex Harms Women

by Tally on October 23, 2009
Visit http://www.top10wayscircumcisedsexharmswomen.com/

Sex as Nature Intended It book Available at Amazon.comSex As Nature Intended It: Top 10 Ways Circumcised Sex Harms Women is a graphical guide that explains the mechanics of the sex act and illustrates the difference between intact sex and circumcised sex. This is a sexually graphic site.

The site linked above is an extension of the Sex As Nature Intended It site. The site is based on the book of the same name.

I learned a long time ago to tune out the hype in everything I read. There is a lot of hype on the Sex as Nature Intended It website. The authors try too hard to sell their ideas, and the website is very amateurish. But, when I look past the hype and read the explanations and look at the illustrations, I see a lot that I can relate to. Based on my experience and the shape of my penis, I see a lot of truth in what they describe. Before restoring, all my sex partners were usually sore after sex. As I, and my partners, got older, vaginal dryness became more of a problem and we always had to use lube. Foreskin restoration changed all that for me.

Sexual Functions of the Foreskin

by Tally on November 29, 2009
Visit http://www.sexasnatureintendedit.com/10F/Foreskin_Function.html

A page on the Sex as Nature Intended It website describing the sexual function of the foreskin. This page provides simple tests that people can take to see how the foreskin functions. For example, the page describes how to feel the difference between fine touch nerves and pressure sensitive nerves by touching the lips and cheeks. The intact penis has both fine touch nerves and pressure sensitive nerves. Unfortunately, circumcision removes much of the fine touch nerves and if the shaft skin is tight, prevents the proper stimulation of the pressure sensitive nerves.
