Yeah, me too. wince
I have a serious question to alphaboi867 and Dusty.
Why? What’s the big deal about a foreskin?
I really want to know.
I’m snipped and I’ve never missed my foreskin. I’ve never felt the need to create a new one. I’m just interested in the mindset behind taping up your dingly-doodle for years for an inch or so of skin?
I was circumsized as an infant and I’m not happy with the results (namely the fact that my foreskin was removed 
). Circumcision removes half the skin from the penis. Ever since I learned what circumcision is I’ve wondered what an intact penis is like. I’ve had experiance with cut and and uncut guys and uncut guys. IMHO intact penises look way better than cut ones. Then there’s the gliding action. Also it’s my penis and I don’t own anyone and explanation as to what I want do with it (unless of course it involves another person ;). If someones to alter it without my consent they better have a damn good reason (“So you look like your father,” isn’t good enough :mad: ). Oh and Weirddave my sex life is fine and I don’t have any psychological issues. It’s nice to know that so many people think wanting to reverse the effects of a surgery you never wanted is such a big fucking joke. :mad:
Question for ya. If you spend all that time and effort and decide you’re not happy with the result, would you have yourself circumsized again? 3 years just sounds like a lot of time to put into changing your body over something like that. (My opinion only, not meant to sound like a judgement or anything)
Sorry you took that question as an attack. It wasn’t intended to be.
Yes, it is yoour cock and yes you can do what you like with it. Personally, I don’t care. I was more interested in WHY you wanted a foreskin.
A follow up question (if I may). Do restored foreskins look like natural foreskins? I haven’t seen many foreskins but they seem to be more than a loose tube of skin over the end of the penis (correct me if I’m wrong). I would think this stretching of the skin would result in something much different than a natural foreskined penis.
"Honey, it’s winking at me again!’
I didn’t take your questions as an attack, but I did find Weirddave’s comments to be insulting. And yes a fully “restored” foreskin looks like an real foreskin. Foreskin restoration doesn’t actually restore the foreskin (that’s impossible). Instead it creates a facsimile out the skin left on the penis. There’s no way to restore all of the nerve endings in the foreskin or recreate the ridged band. There are surgical procedures that involve skin grafts, but they’re risky and produce inferior results. Almost everything I’ve read on restoration advises againts them.
question: Have you ever seen someone with a restored foreskin? Do you like the results? Is that what you would like? It sounds like a long procedure to “see what happens”. Are the results consistent? varying with skin type, discipline doing it, etc?
I wouldn’t say it’s a joke, but I think it does strike many people—myself included—as odd, being that this surgery was performed (at least for most of us) in infancy. It does seem, at least on the surface, to be an obsession, one that hints at an underlying, unresolved psychological issue. I find it about as comprehensible as I would “tonsil restoration,” or a lovelorn pining for one’s long-lost baby teeth.
Then again, I truly cannot relate. Assuming the legends are true, I had one of my own at birth. Don’t remember it, don’t miss it, never felt the slightest iota of yearning for a tearful reunion with it. I feel—with no braggadocio intended—that my equipment functions perfectly well without it.
And (this is purely subjective, of course, an aesthetic judgment) thanks to the wonder of European porn I’ve had occasion to see what the “uncut” model looks like, and IMHO it doesn’t add any visual appeal.
As you said, it’s your cock; do what thou wilt. I concur that whether to circumcise or not is a legitimate debate, but the “restoration” movement, and the cringe-inducing lengths to which some are willing to go to pursue their goal, is something I just don’t “get.”
Dunno… people go to greater lengths to restore the natural/normal state of other things such as facial appearance after disfiguring injury or congenital malformation; Restoration of a foreskin after circumcision is a little different, but not all that much.
It seems odd to me as well and I am unable to relate the feeling at all. If I was going to go through all that trouble, I would be stretching the pecker itself. That seems more bang for the time and energy it takes.
I think its a little different.
You aren’t going to get treated different in a western shower room with a circumcised dangly bit. No one would even notice. But walk down the street with half a nose and a missing ear and you’ll get stares.
I’d put this more in line with a boob job - a woman who wants the perkyness she once had. It really isn’t a needed, functional alteration. It’s a self image one.
I’ve had some functional recontruction on my nose which changed how it looks. Sometimes when I look in the mirror I wish it looked like the nose I had when I was 16. Due to the nature of the reconstuction, altering it to look like it used to most likely would reverse the recontruction. It works great now (about 60-70% of a normal nose), I’m leaving well enough alone. Outside of being a bit bigger, it isn’t a show stopper. In fact, it looks a bit like Hugh Beaumont’s nose
Same with my cock. It works great now. I’ve been told it looks nice. Why mess with it and risk damaging it somehow just to change the way it looks?
Yeah, I said it was.
I should have said very different.
Sorry.
I don’t really see why it has to be so laughable or why anyone should assume that alphaboi has any kind of mental issues or ‘obsession’ because he wishes he hadn’t been circumcised. What I find odd is that it is seen as perfectly normal in this culture to remove a body part that is related to sexual pleasure from someone who can’t consent to it for no reason other than stupid tradition.
I really think the sentence immediately prior to the comment about ‘debate’ should actually remove all need to ‘debate’ the topic.
To be more accurate, it’s a boob job on a woman whose parents had her breast buds removed when she was a newborn.
What seems odd to me is the derision aimed at people who think it’s wrong to cut off part of an unconsenting person’s penis and the mocking they get if they wish it had never been done to them.
Fair enough. I have to say that the culture of routine circumcision in the USA continues to boggle me and I just don’t think I’ll ever properly understand it - so reading about people wanting to restore them doesn’t come off as quite so strange to me.
To be fair to Weirddave, we used to have a crazy nutjob guy here called Jack Dean Tyler* who was absolutely obsessed with circumcision, and was convinced that it was responsible for every tragedy, wrong-doing, problem, war-you name it-in history. JDT also advocated foreskin restoration and as a result, whenever the subject comes up, I know that I for one can’t help but be reminded.
I too think that routine circumcision as a default is pretty stupid, and I don’t see the point in it. (Sometimes, I understand, it IS medically necessary). However, I also don’t think that circumcision is the vast evil that some like to paint it to be.
Of course my baby teeth fell out on their own and new teeth grew in their place. Tonsils are only removed when if they’re causing pain or otherwise interfering with swallowing or sleep. If you didn’t remember the surgery you’d never know they were missing unless someone told you. I’ve never missed my adenoids and they were removed for a valid medical reason. There are no justifications for routine infant circumcision. The two I hear thrown around most often (HIV and penile cancer) don’t jusitfy infant circumcision. The HIV theory isn’t proven and it’s unlikely a boy will become sexually active before pubery (and certianly not as a baby) and our culture encourages abstinece from sex until at least adulthood. At which point he’s free to decide for himself whether or not he thinks it’s worth the risk. The average onset of penile cancer is 67 and AFAIK there are no cases of it occuring in childhood. If an intact boy grows up and decides he want’s a circumcision that’s fine. The end result will be no different that if he had it done as an infant. If a circumsized boy grows up and decides he want’s to be intact it’s a long and involved process and the end result will not be quite the same as if he was never circumsized.
Cool, thanks for stopping by.
How’s your own restoration coming along, by the way?
I think this is assuming that circumcision as an adult is exactly the same as circumcision as an infant - a dubious proposition. I’d imagine that if a boy grew up with one, he’d probably miss it more than if he did not, both as a physical reaction (the penis would develop without one) and psychologically.
I’m not a mocker, but I’ll join those who think “restoration” a trifle strange (though of course no-one’s business but the restoree), and the outrage over being circumcized as an infant a bit misplaced. Personally, if I was to choose a medical procedure imposed on me to resent, it would be braces.
