|Text=Those [[circumcised ]] men who feel they were seriously cheated in being deprived of their foreskins may be interested in an article in the latest (November 21) issue of ''The Advocate'' on [[foreskin restoration]].

Basically, the article describes a plausible-sounding technique for restoring the functionality of a [[foreskin ]] by [[stretching]] the residual [[skin]] of the {*filter*}[[penis]]. It is promoted by a doctor named Mark Waring who documented the techniques in a 64-page booklet called Foreskin Restoration (Uncircumcision), available from (hope it's okay to post this):

for $14.95 plus $1.25 postage and handling. Supposedly a new, bigger, illustrated publication on the same subject is due out next year. Dr. Waring said he got the idea after seeing a program on an African tribe whose members stretch their lips and earlobes. The technique supposedly takes about *three years* of continual effort to achieve complete coverage of the [[glans]], but if you feel seriously handicapped by the lack of a [[foreskin]], well, it might be worth putting your money where ... uh ...

Disclaimer: I know nothing more about this technique than I read in the article. Furthermore, I'm female and unlikely to be partaking in any of this myself :-). But it seems very pertinent to the recurring discussions. Get the article or the book for yourself (and monitor these newsgroups) for further information and debate! - Susan (1993)
