Dr. '''John Warren''', is a Britih physician , surgeon, and [[intactivist}}, who founded [[NORM-UK]] in 1994, an advocacy organization in England that was recently renamed [[15 Square]].
Warren was inspired to study the subject of [[circumcision]] after circumcising an anesthetized child and examining the tissue. His initial readings included the "[[https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/43/228/200.full.pdf Further fate of the foreskin]]" by [[Jakob Øster]]. As Warren aged, he realized that he didn't have much sensation during sex, that the [[glans ]] was not really that sensitive at all. He tried to find more information on medical literature, and found a review of [[Jim Bigelow]]'s book, [[The joy of uncircumcising]]. After reading the book, Warren contacted [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]], and eventually traveled to California and met with him and other intactivists.
Warren then told [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]] to refer any British to him. Some men started contacting him, and this eventually led to the first meeting and the creation of [[NORM-UK]], an organization created not only to share information on [[foreskin restoration]], but also to advocate against unnecessary [[circumcision ]] of minors.
Dr John Warren was educated at Charterhouse School and studied medicine at Cambridge and the London Hospital Medical College.
John is married to a doctor and has two daughters. His hobbies are music, cycling and observing wildlife.

|Text=I am a doctor and I was myself [[circumcised]] when I was a baby, and I never found out why. In 1967, as a house surgeon, I found myself in an operating theatre, performing a [[circumcision]] on a small, anaesthetised boy whose [[foreskin]] was too tight to retract. This was the first time I really had a close look at the [[foreskin]], and discovered what I had lost. I was surprised how much [[skin]] there was, and started to wonder what it was there for.
