Many men who practice [[foreskin restoration]] report a substantial improvement in their masturbation experience with their [[restored]] [[penis]] as compared with their previous [[circumcised]] penis.

This is a short video of a 22-year-old [[intact]] adult male masturbating to orgasm by manipulation of the [[foreskin]]. It illustrates the normal use of the [[foreskin]] in masturbation. It is provided here because many [[circumcised]] American males are abjectly ignorant of masturbation with a normal, [[foreskinned]] [[penis]].
