The late '''R. Wayne Griffiths''' ({{LifeData|1933|2017-03-17}}) founded with [[Tim Hammond]] the National Organization of Restoring Men, [[NORM]].
R. Wayne Griffiths also invented the [[foreballs]] foreskin restoration device, which he sold until 2012.
Griffiths was born in San Francisco in 1933. He became interested in [[foreskin restoration]] after coming across information about [[NOCIRC]] and the [[BUFF]] method. In September 1987, he decided to start some form of restoration. He ruled out surgery, and tried different methods: straps, tape ring.
In a letter a friend told him that someone had used a marble to add [[stretching ]] and weight. As a construction inspector, Griffiths went to the ball bearing supplier and got two stainless steel ball bearings. One is l" in diameter and the other is 1-1/4" in diameter. He used tape to hung the two balls together, with 1/4"+ space between them. This became the prototype for the [[foreballs]]
During the [[Second International Symposium]] on Circumcision (held in San Francisco, April 30 to May 3, 1991), [[Jim Bigelow]] and Griffiths presented a seminar on [[foreskin restoration]]. The [[Epispasm| history of foreskin restoration ]] through the ages was presented. Slides of the results of recent restorations of several men were shown, with both [[stretching ]] or surgical techniques. Preliminary results of a survey of [[circumcised]] men was also presented.
Griffiths appeared on [[Penn & Teller: Bullshit! Circumcision]].
R. Wayne Griffiths died on March 17, 2017.
