    Yup! And I highly recommend it. Just from the small gains I’ve made and the difference it makes, I’ve become pretty much completely anti-circumcision. Definitely completely for babies.

      Arent irreplaceable glands removed during a circumcision? Might be able to lengthen skin to form something like foreskin but isn’t it impossible to regrow the glans?

        Glans is the tip/head/non-skin end of your penis and it should not have been touched during circumcision. Maybe by mistake something happened.

        But there are body tissue structures that are removed and lost forever from circumcision. Namely the “rigid band” and part or all of the “frenulum”

        So a restored foreskin is not quite the same. But people who get circumcised as an adult and then later restore say that restored is about 70-80% as good. And far better than nothing!

        Start with a bunch of research. I believe there’s a beginner’s guide on the foreskin_restoration subreddit.

        But the way to get started today is “manual methods” and “Andre’s method” is a really popular one.

        Most people buy a foreskin restoration device or two. I like the car-1 and Mantor DS. Just ordered a Restore In Comfort packer too. And I T-tape at night towards my head (this is part of why a bunch of research is where to start - I’m sure these words mean nothing to you right now).
