It is claimed that it restores about 80 percent of the lost sensation. Watson & Golden (2017) recommend that [[circumcised]] men "embrace the anguish and try to feel it as strongly as they can." They also recommend non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]] "since it empowers the patient."<ref name="watson2017">{{REFjournal | The options for treatment are few.
