Warren was inspired to study the subject of [[circumcision]] after circumcising an anaesthetised child and examining the tissue. His initial readings included the "[https://adc.bmj.com/content/archdischild/43/228/200.full.pdf Further fate of the foreskin]" by [[Jakob Øster]]. As Warren aged, he realized that he didn't have much sensation during sex, that the [[glans]] was not really that sensitive at all. He tried to find more information on medical literature, and found a review of [[Jim Bigelow]]'s book, [[The joy of uncircumcising]]. After reading the book, Warren contacted [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]], and eventually traveled to California and met with him and other intactivists. | |||
Warren then told [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]] to refer any British to him. Some men started contacting him, and this eventually led to the first meeting and the creation of [[NORM-UK]], an organization created not only to share information on [[foreskin restoration]], but also to advocate against unnecessary [[circumcision]] of minors. | Warren then told [[Jim Bigelow|Bigelow]] to refer any British to him.
