Generally, the skin grows more readily in response to stretching than does the mucous membrane. The ring of muscle which normally holds the foreskin closed is completely removed in the majority of circumcisions and cannot be regrown, so the covering resulting from stretching techniques is usually looser than that of a natural foreskin. According to some observers it is difficult to distinguish a restored foreskin from a natural foreskin because restoration produces a "nearly normal-appearing prepuce."<ref name="Goodwin">{{REFjournal | Generally, the skin grows more readily in response to stretching than does the mucous membrane.

The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision by expansion of residual tissue, as well as providing coverage of the glans. According to research, the foreskin comprises over half of the skin and mucosa of the human penis.<ref>{{REFjournal | The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision by expansion of residual tissue, as well as providing coverage of the glans.

The work of Masters & Johnson (1966) has been shown to have severe methodological flaws that render their conclusions inaccurate and essentially useless. The work of Bleustein (2003) and Payne (2007) is similarly flawed by methodological faults. | The work of Masters & Johnson (1966) has been shown to have severe methodological flaws that render their conclusions inaccurate and essentially useless.

Although Kirby (1994) suggested that the perceived sensitivity gains of the glans reported by some men are psychological, with glans sensitivity itself being unaffected.<ref>{{REFjournal | |||
