Both Griffiths and Hammond has been practicing the [[BUFF]] method. Hammond felt isolated on his efforts and suggested establishing a support group. They pooled their financial resources and placed classified advertising in two San Francisco Bay Area newspapers, the ''Sentinel'' and the ''Bay Area Reporter''. The gay community was targeted first since Hammond felt that gay men, in general, tended to be more open about matters concerning sexuality in general and their genitals in particular. The response was overwhelming. They received over 200 telephone calls within the first few months of the ad's appearance.

Since its inception, the group has received inquiries from men around the world, demonstrating that this type of support group is indeed timely and necessary. There are now more than two dozen groups, with groups in London, Belgium, France and two in [[Australia]]. Many men have expressed an interest in organizing or attending groups in their areas. Groups can be established by following the NORM Guidelines.

In December 1992, Hammond and Griffiths decided to separate the responsibilities of activism and support. Tim founded [[NOHARMM]] ('''N'''ational '''O'''rganization to '''H'''alt the '''A'''buse and '''R'''outine '''M'''utilation of '''M'''ales) as an organization dedicated to stopping routine infant circumcisions through activism and protest. In June 1994, [[Jim Bigelow]] decided to incorporate [[UNCIRC]] under NORM so that there will be a network of three major organizations -- NORM, [[NOCIRC]] and [[NOHARMM]] -- to serve all facets of the intactivist movement.
