This article, “'''Foreskin restoration information for circumcised teens'''”, is intended to provide information to teen-age boys who were [[circumcised]] without their consent and who would not have chosen to be [[circumcised]].
[[Circumcision]] requires someone to grant [[informed consent| consent]]. The medical profession traditionally has allowed a parent to serve as a surrogate to provide consent for a child who is not old enough to grant consent for himself. There are unsettled questions about whether this is lawful in the case of unnecessary non-therapeutic circumcision.
Parents may choose [[circumcision ]] for a son because their religion requires it, because it is popular in the [[United States]], because they believe it is cleaner and healthier, or most frequently simply because [[Adamant father syndrome| the father was circumcised when he was a boy]].
You may have noticed that some of your schoolmates may have a [[foreskin]] on their [[penis]], although your penis is missing its foreskin. The condition of having a foreskin is called ''[[foreskinned]]'' or ''[[intact]]'', while the condition of not having a foreskin is called ''[[circumcised]]’’.
==What you get==
There are some advantages to having a [[foreskin]]. The human [[foreskin]] was developed by [[Evolution of the foreskin| evolution]] over a very long time. It has beneficial [[Immunological and protective function of the foreskin| protective]] functions, [[Erogenous sensation of the foreskin| sexual]] functions, and provides greater comfortbecause the sensitive [[glans penis]] is protected. Most guys believe that a [[penis ]] with a [[restored foreskin]] is much better than a [[circumcised]] penis, but not as good as a [[penis]] with a natural foreskin. The nerves in the restored foreskin are not as good as the nerves in the natural [[foreskin]] , so there is somewhat less sensation. There are a few men who were [[circumcised]] after they were sexually active adults. They became [[regret men]] and decided to restore their foreskin. [[Restored]] men estimate that they got back about 80 percent of their lost erogenous sensation through [[foreskin restoration]]. Restored men usually are pleased with their [[restored]] foreskin.
==Disadvantages==
==Conclusion==
One's personal feelings about one's unwanted, involuntary [[circumcision ]] are an important factor to consider. If one deeply resents one's circumcision, then foreskin restoration would be more beneficial. On the other hand, if one is comfortable with one's [[circumcision]], then one would be less likely to choose restoration.
The presentation of information about foreskin restoration should not be construed as a recommendation for foreskin restoration, nor should it be considered to be medical advice.
