Dr. '''John Warren''', is a Britih British physician, surgeon, and [[intactivist}}, who founded [[NORM-UK]] in 1994, an advocacy organization organisation in England that was recently renamed [[15 Square]].
Dr John Warren was educated at [https://www.charterhouse.org.uk/ Charterhouse School] and studied medicine at Cambridge and the [https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/afbe8355-5059-4411-81c1-f67b445f395b London Hospital Medical College]. Warren was inspired to study the subject of [[circumcision]] after circumcising an anesthetized 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.
He was a consultant physician at the Princess Alexandra hospital in Harlow, Essex from 1975 to 2005 and has now retired.
