Warren was inspired to study the subject of [[circumcision]] after circumcising an anesthetized child and examining the tissue. His initial readings included the "[[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.

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.

|Text=I am a doctor and I was myself [[circumcised]] when I was a baby, and I never found out why. In 1967, as a house surgeon, I found myself in an operating theatre, performing a [[circumcision]] on a small, anaesthetised boy whose [[foreskin]] was too tight to retract. This was the first time I really had a close look at the [[foreskin]], and discovered what I had lost. I was surprised how much [[skin]] there was, and started to wonder what it was there for.
