This article, “'''Foreskin restoration information for circumcised teens'''”, is intended to provide information to teen-age boys who were [[circumcised]] without their consent and who would not have chosen to be [[circumcised]].
[[Circumcision]] requires someone to grant [[informed consent| consent]]. The medical profession traditionally has allowed a parent to serve as a surrogate to provide consent for a child who is not old enough to grant consent for himself. There are unsettled questions about whether this is lawful in the case of unnecessary non-therapeutic circumcision.
Parents may choose [[circumcision ]] for a son because their religion requires it, because it is popular in the [[United States]], because they believe it is cleaner and healthier, or most frequently simply because [[Adamant father syndrome| the father was circumcised when he was a boy]].
You may have noticed that some of your schoolmates may have a [[foreskin]] on their [[penis]], although your penis is missing its foreskin. The condition of having a foreskin is called ''[[foreskinned]]'' or ''[[intact]]'', while the condition of not having a foreskin is called ''[[circumcised]]’’.
==What you get==
There are some advantages to having a [[foreskin]]. The human [[foreskin]] was developed by [[Evolution of the foreskin| evolution]] over a very long time. It has beneficial [[Immunological and protective function of the foreskin| protective]] and functions, [[Erogenous sensation of the foreskin| sexual]] functions, and provides greater comfort because the sensitive [[glans penis]] is protected. Most guys believe that a [[penis ]] with a [[restored foreskin]] is much better than a [[circumcised]] penis, but not as good as a [[penis]] with a natural foreskin. The nerves in the restored foreskin are not as good as the nerves in the natural [[foreskin]] , so there is somewhat less sensation. There are a few men who were [[circumcised]] after they were sexually active adults. They became [[regret men]] and decided to restore their foreskin. [[Restored]] men estimate that they got back about 80 percent of their lost erogenous sensation through [[foreskin restoration]]. Restored men usually are pleased with their [[restored]] foreskin.
==Disadvantages==
The major disadvantage of starting foreskin restoration is that it is a long-term process that takes several years to see results. One needs a good amount of dedication, patience, and perseverance for a period of years.<ref>{{REFweb |url=https://intactamerica.org/foreskin-restoration-journey/ |title=Taking Back What Was Stolen: A Foreskin Restoration Journey |last=Alissa |first=Kristel |init= |author-link=Kristel Alissa |publisher=Intact America |date=2025-02-26 |accessdate=2025-02-28}}</ref>
There is no cost involved in manual stretching, but if one wants to purchase a restoration device, then there are some costs involved.
It is possible to form a missing foreskin by stretching the residual shaft [[skin]] of one’s [[penis]]. Regular stretching will cause the skin cells to split into two cells (in a process called “[[mitosis]]”, which causes more skin to exist. If one does this several times daily, eventually the residual shaft skin of the penis will elongate, fold over, and form a new [[foreskin]]. This process is called “non-surgical foreskin restoration”. It is a slow process that takes several years, so it may be best to start when one is young, to allow more years in which to enjoy one’s [[restored foreskin]]. The pulling and stretching of the residual shaft skin is usually called “tugging”.

There is no minimum age for foreskin tugging. Reports indicate that it has been done as young as age 13. Some believe that the skin expands faster when one is young because there is more growth hormone in one’s body, however there does not appear to be any scientific proof for this belief.
Non-surgical foreskin restoration is a generally safe activity. The major risk appears to be minor skin irritation that may be relieved by taking a break of several days from tugging.

==Conclusion==
One's personal feelings about one's unwanted, involuntary [[circumcision ]] are an important factor to consider. If one deeply resents the one's circumcision, then foreskin restoration would be more beneficial. On the other hand, if one is comfortable with one's [[circumcision]], then one would be less likely to choose restoration.
The presentation of information about foreskin restoration should not be construed as a recommendation for foreskin restoration, nor should it be considered to be medical advice.
Foreskin restoration is not right for everyone. Each person must decide for himself if [[foreskin restoration]] is right for him.
