Literature about foreskin restoration: Difference between revisions

One of the aspects of intactivism that are most ignored by the medical community is the existence of a large community of men restoring their foreskin through non-surgical methods. [[Foreskin restoration]] was first done by the Jewish people approximately 100 years before the Christian era, and was the reason why the original brit milah was made more radical, turning it into brit periah.

[[Foreskin restoration]] was first done by the Jewish people approximately 100 years before the Christian era, and was the reason why the original brit milah was made more radical, turning it into brit periah.

Interest in foreskin restoration reappeared during the world war II, when Jewish men were often identified by the absence of foreskin. Surgical methods were attempted. This interest traveled to Europe and the United States, giving place to new methods. In 1982, some men who didn't want to submit to surgery, rediscovered non-surgical restoration and created the [[BUFF]] method, which they shared freely. Since then, new methods have been developed through experimentation, and shared through internet in online forums.
