Joshua Hartelt, a graduate student at South Dakota State University, has produced a thesis for his master's degree.
In the thesis, he describes a stigma associated with foreskin restoration.[1]
The American public has been bombarded with pro-circumcision propaganda by the circumcision industry for nearly 1 and 1/2 centuries. As a result, the public in the United States regarding the circumcised partial penis as normal, healthy, and clean, while the normal, healthy intact penis is regarded abnormal, unhealthy, and unclean. A man who is restoring his foreskin is likely to be viewed as "wacko", "perverted", or "un-American".[1]
Consequently, circumcised men who decide to restore their foreskin are very likely to do so privately without public announcement of their restoration activities.
The number of men who are actually restoring their pilfered prepuce is likely to be much larger than the public perception.
