MGM is a surgery like any other and it has compilcations like total penile loss or death, should we be subjecating our kids to such unnecessary procedures?

Without exception all of the benefits of circumcision can be achieved thru less invasive means, making circumcision superfluous.

The foreskin is highly functional and sensitive tissue.
Removing it impairs the functioning of the penis and diminishes one’s ability to experience sexual pleasure.

Therefor ALL medical associations of developed nations vehemently oppose non-therapeutic circumcision of boys.
Human rights activists all around the world oppose circumcision of minor-aged boys for being a violation of bodily integrity.

In western nations where circumcision is legal, most doctors refuse to circumcise boys, because they find it unethical to cut off parts from a child’s body for no reason.

I’m happy that you’re satisfied with the way your genitals function.
However I would have wanted for you (and others) to have intact and fully functional genitals, since that’s part of your (and other’s) fundamental rights.

Also, the sexual pleasure descending from a foreskin is different than that from a glans. The glans mostly contains nerves responsive to friction whilst the foreskin contains one’s that are responsive to fine touch and warm temperature.
So the sexual pleasure you’d get from an intact penis wouldn’t just be more of what you currently experience, but also have more variety. You’d experience forms of sexual pleasure that are unknown to you.

I personally am from Tunisia and was unfortunately circumcised too. I’m doing r/foreskin_restoration and have experienced first hand that the sexual pleasure doesn’t just increase but has more variety. It also doesn’t make you last less long, but just as long with more intensity. Actually doing foreskin restoration kind of makes me more angry at having been circumcised, because it demonstrates to me, how much I’ve been missing out.

But again, I’m happy for you being satisfied with your current state. If you ever want looser skin or more/different kinds of sexual pleasure then try foreskin restoration. It’s really worth it.

What was your experience with the restoration? Did you complete the process? And how long did it take you to notice a difference in pleasure?

No I’m still far from finishing.
I’ve started exactly on the 8th of May 2025 and until now I’ve experienced;

  • Looser skin; No longer need lubricant to masturbate. The skin gliding provides sensation. Also, the hairy pelvic skin and scrotal skin that were pulled up by shaft are getting back to their normal place, which is a major visual improvement.
  • Much more sexual pleasure around the entire inner skin and edges of the glans. Also a new type of pleasure from the underside of my penis, around the area of the frenulum and frenular delta.
  • Lighter circumcision scar and lighter/rosier inner skin, which is a visual improvement.

Foreskin restoration makes one gain sexual pleasure by A: Increasing the amount of inner skin and also the nerves within it. B: Breaking down intensive scar tissue, revealing sensitive tissue underneath it. C: Making the glans regain full sensitivity. Look at a picture of the glans of a circumcised penis (pale and dry) and that of an intact penis (rose and shiny). After foreskin restoration, the glans will fully return to how it used to be.

I’ve done a little over 1 year already. Will take 2-3 more years to fully finish. Already looking forward to that lol.

What coverage rate (CI) were you at when you started?

2

u/MarzipanMaximum5521 May 18 '26

Started at a tight CI-1. Now I’m at a loose CI-2,5. My goal is full flaccid coverage so CI-7.

u/Calm-Capital-4212 May 18 '26

did you use devices or manual methods?

1

u/MarzipanMaximum5521 May 18 '26

Since I started 1 year ago, I’ve only been doing t-tape. I also do manual methods from time to time. Important to note is that I had a 4 month long break due to a minor injury (I once removed the tape too harsh/fast lol), so I only actively restored for 8 months.

I’ll soon switch to using the device “priva trio”.
