== History ==
The foreballs device was invented in 1987 by the late [[R. Wayne Griffiths]]. The first version was made by “barrel” taping two balls together as is shown in [[The joy of uncircumcising]], by [[Jim Bigelow]], PhD, as a homemade device. With ideas from fellow restorers at [[NORM]] meetings in San Francisco in the early 1990s, the tape was replaced by a rod welded between the two balls. At one of the meetings, someone suggested the name “foreballs.”
On an interview for [http://www.chicagoreader.com/chicago/the-foreskin-flap/Content?oid=886868 Chicago Reader] ([[File:Fs09.pdf|PDF]]), Wayne Griffiths describes the invention of the foreballs: "I'm a practical guy. I work as a construction inspector, so I brought a practical methodology that may have been lacking. There was a book written in the early 80s called Foreskin Restoration by a man named Mark Waring, which I'm sure is a pseudonym. He'd recommended marbles."
Griffiths went to a supply house and bought some one-inch and one-and-a-quarter-inch stainless-steel ball bearings. Using two together, he made a barrel hitch out of tape, cut a hole in the end, and attached the device to the end of his penis every day.
