'''Foreskin restoration''' refers to the process of expanding the residual [[skin ]] on the [[circumcised ]] [[penis]] by non-surgical means in order to recreate the [[foreskin]] which was removed in [[circumcision]]. <ref name="wisdom">{{REFjournal |last=Wisdom |first=Travis |init=T |author-link=Travis Wisdom |etal=no |title=Constructing phallic beauty: Foreskin restoration, genital cutting and circumcisionism |journal=Brill |location= |date=2014 |volume= |issue= |pages=93-134 |url=https://www.academia.edu/7648223/Constructing_Phallic_Beauty_Foreskin_Restoration_Genital_Cutting_and_Circumcisionism?email_work_card=view-paper |archived= |quote= |pubmedID= |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1163/9781848881259_007 |accessdate=2020-08-16}}</ref> It can also refer to the process of [[Tissue expansion| expanding existing skin in a ]] on an [[intact]] [[penis ]] whose foreskin is abnormally short or non-existent (see [[aposthia]]).<ref name="collier2011">{{REFjournal

Foreskin restoration can be achieved via surgical and/or non-surgical means. Men take up foreskin restoration to restore [[Dekeratinization| sensation]] to the [[glans penis]] and to restore the [[gliding action]] of the natural [[penis]]. Another reason for restoring is a desire to create the natural appearance of an [[intact ]] penis with the [[foreskin]] covering the [[glans penis]]. [[Jim Bigelow]] (1995) listed aesthetics, sensitivity of the glans, sexual stimulation and sexual function of a restored foreskin, and sense of wholeness as reasons that men give for desiring foreskin restoration.<ref>{{REFbook |last=Bigelow |first=Jim |author-link=Jim Bigelow |year=1994 |title=The Joy of Uncircumcising!: Exploring Circumcision: History, Myths, Psychology, Restoration, Sexual Pleasure, and Human Rights |url=https://www.amazon.com/Joy-Uncircumcising-Circumcision-Psychology-Restoration/dp/093406122X |editor= |edition=2 |volume= |chapter=Why Men Today Want to Uncircumcise |pages=113-4 |location= |publisher=Hourglass Book Pub |isbn=978-0934061223}}</ref> Foreskin restoration techniques are most commonly undertaken by men who resent having been [[circumcision|circumcised]] as children, or who have sustained an injury. <ref name="ozer2020">{{REFjournal |last=Özer |first= |init=M |author-link= |last2=Timmermans |first2=Floyd W. |init2=FW |author2-link= |etal=no |title=An insight into circumcised men seeking foreskin reconstruction: a prospective cohort study |trans-title= |language= |journal=Int J Impot Res |location= |date=2020-11 |season= |volume=32 |issue=6 |article= |page= |pages=611-6 |url=https://www.nature.com/articles/s41443-019-0223-y |archived= |quote= |pubmedID=31896833 |pubmedCID= |DOI=10.1038/s41443-019-0223-y |accessdate=2022-10-14}}</ref> They are also used by [[intact]] men who simply desire a longer [[foreskin]] and by [[regret men]].

Key features of Hellenistic culture were athletic exercises in gymnasia and athletic performances in public arenas, where men appeared in the nude. While the [[penis ]] sheathed in an [[intact ]] foreskin was normal and acceptable, ancient Greeks and their Hellenistic successors considered the [[circumcised ]] penis to be offensive, as it was perceived as a vulgar imitation of [[erection]], unfit for public display. The ancient Greeks and their Hellenistic successors considered the "ideal prepuce" to be long, tapered, and "well-proportioned." Removing it was considered [[mutilation]]. Men with a short foreskins[[foreskin]], a condition known as ''lypodermos'', would wear a leather cord called a ''kynodesme '' to prevent its accidental exposure.<ref>{{REFjournal

The sight of [[circumcised ]] genitals at public baths or gymnasia would inspire laughter and ridicule. Jewish men who wished to gain acceptance in the larger social world gave themselves a presentable appearance by pulling the remaining [[foreskin ]] forward as far as possible, and keeping it under enough tension to encourage permanent [[stretching ]] toward its original length. Using a fibular pin or a cord, they pierced the front of the remaining foreskin, drew it forward, and fixed it in place; sometimes they would attach a weight to maintain tension. Over time the foreskin stretched and restored at least some of the appearance of an [[intact ]] organ.<ref>{{REFbook

Nonsurgical foreskin restoration is the most commonly used method of foreskin restoration. It is accomplished through [[tissue expansion]] and involves pulling on the remnants of the [[foreskin]]. Both the skin of the penile shaft and the mucosal [[mucosa]]l inner lining of the [[foreskin]], if any remains after [[circumcision]], may be expanded. The skin is pulled forward over the [[glans]], and tension is applied manually, by using weights or elastic straps. In the latter two cases a device must be attached to the skin; surgical tape is often used.

[[Image:Tlctugger applied.jpg|thumbnail|left|150px| TLCTugger device applied to a [[circumcised ]] penis for non-surgical foreskin restoration.]]

An example of a device using elastic straps is the T-Tape method, which was developed in the 1990s with the idea of enabling restoration to take place more rapidly. Many specialized [http://intactwiki.org/wiki/Category:Foreskin_restoration_devices restoration devices] (like the [[TLC-X|TLC Tugger]] shown in the picture) that grip the [[skin ]] with or without tape are also commercially available. Tension from these devices may be applied by weights or elastic straps, by pushing the skin forward on the [[penis]], or by a combination of these methods.

}}</ref> Unlike conventional skin expansion techniques, however, the process of nonsurgical foreskin restoration may take several years to complete. The time required depends on the amount of [[skin ]] available to expand, the amount of skin desired in the end, and the regimen of [[stretching ]] methods used. Patience and dedication are needed; support groups exist to help with these (see External links section). The act of [[stretching ]] the skin is often described informally as "tugging" in these groups, especially those on the internetInternet.

[[Intact ]] men who would like to have a longer [[foreskin ]] may use these same techniques of [[tissue expansion]] to lengthen a short [[foreskin]]. Benefits include improved protection of the [[glans penis]], improved [[gliding action]], and improved physical appearance.

Results of non-surgical methods vary widely, and depend on such factors as the amount of skin present at the start of the restoration, degree of commitment, technique, and the individual's body.

As the [[shaft skin ]] expands and gets longer the [[circumcision scar ]] will travel down toward the tip and eventually turn under and be concealed inside the restored foreskin. When the [[glans penis]] is habitually covered by the regrown foreskin, the increase in protection, plus moisture and oil from [[transudation]] provided by the new [[foreskin]] will result in [[Keratinization#De-keratinization_treatment| de-keratinization]] of the [[glans penis]] and increase in sensation. == Surgical techniques ==

Foreskin regeneration is only theoretical as Results of 2019. No surgical foreskin has ever been regenerated. There is no assurance that foreskin regeneration will actually be successfulrestoration are much faster, but are often described as unsatisfactory, and most restoration groups advise against them.

The natural foreskin has three principal components, in addition to blood vessels, nerves and connective tissue: [[skin]], which is exposed exteriorely; [[mucous membranemucosa]], which is the inside surface in contact with the [[glans penis]] when the [[penis]] is flaccid; and a band layer of [[Dartos| muscle]] fibers under the foreskin. The [[ridged band]] is just inside the tip of the [[foreskin]].

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

Nonsurgical foreskin restoration does not restore portions of the [[Frenulum of prepuce of penis|frenulum]] or the [[ridged band]] removed excised during [[circumcision]]. Although not commonly performed, there are surgical [http://intactwiki.org/wiki/Category:Foreskin_restoration_touch-up_surgeries "touch-up" techniques] that can re-create some of the functionality of the frenulum and dartos muscle.<ref>{{REFbook

The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision by [[Tissue expansion| expansion of residual tissue]], as well as providing coverage of the glans. According to research, the [[foreskin ]] comprises over one-half of the skin and [[mucosa ]] of the human penis.<ref>{{REFjournal |last=Taylor |first=J.R. |author-link=John R.

By growing more [[penile skin]], foreskin restorers recover the skin mobility that was eliminated by their circumcision. The ability to [[gliding action|glide the skin of the penis over the glans]] constitutes a mechanical component of the stimulation mechanism of the penis.

In some men, foreskin restoration may alleviate certain problems they attribute to their circumcisions[[circumcision]]. Such problems, as reported to an anti-circumcision group by men circumcised in infancy or childhood, include prominent [[Circumcision scar|scarring]] (33%), insufficient [[penile skin ]] for comfortable [[erection ]] (27%), erectile curvature from uneven skin loss (16%), and pain and [[bleeding ]] upon [[erection]]/manipulation (17%). The poll also asked about awareness of or involvement in foreskin restoration, and included an open comment section. Many respondents and their wives "reported that restoration resolved the unnatural dryness of the circumcised penis, which caused abrasion, pain or [[bleeding ]] during intercourse, and that restoration offered unique pleasures, which enhanced sexual intimacy."<ref name="Hammond">{{REFjournal
