I would really like to thank everyone who has contributed to this thread . . .

I recently became involved with my first "uncut" guy and was scared to death . . . but reading this has really helped me to understand that it's not a bad thing.

So I will definitely continue to hang out with him, and explore this new kind of penis

New guy here. Please be gentle!

I'm cut, and I must admit I'm a bit annoyed I was cut. But I'm not angry about it. Here's why.

First, I was loosely and evenly circumcised, leaving me with a lot of my original penile structure (part of frenulum, inner foreskin, and possibly the edges of the ridged band) as well as a reasonably loose skin when erect.

Second, medical society in the sixties and seventies were extremely hostile towards the male foreskin. Even if I wasn't cut, there was the real risk of being injured by my parents and/or having a condition misdiagnosed, which would have meant being cut just the same, but at a time I was aware of my own existence! Ouch!

And third (the most important), I've never felt as if my sexual capabilities were compromised. Full body orgasms? Check. Painless and pleasurable penetration for both of us? Check. Satisfied girlfriends? Check. (She wants me to come over to her place AGAIN?!? ) In fact, I'm now in my forties and I feel as if my libido is actually increasing! I feel like I'm faster. Stronger. Better.

Ok, maybe not faster. That ain't a good thing anyways.

I'll be honest. I sincerely don't believe that circumcision is a good idea except under specific medical conditions. Personally, I'm okay. But I attribute that mostly to my pediatrician's experience, a steady hand, and maybe a bit of luck. I have serious reservations over all the supposed "research" being conducted on the benefits of circumcision. Whichever report I find on the subject, I either find a report that contradicts the results, or I find something obviously wrong with the original report. And if those reports on the benefits of circumcision are wrong, the reports studying penile sensitivity between cut and uncut men may also be just as flawed regardless of the outcome.

Just as others here have indicated, neonatal circumcision is nothing more than cosmetic surgery for babies. Putting aside all the claims of barbarism and human rights violations, ANY cosmetic surgery performed on a HEALTHY part of a baby's body is complete insanity!

But at the same time, all the outlandish claims over the negative effects of circumcision are also just as insane. I can't believe the opinions of the anti-circ lobby which often degrade into emotional hysterics. If just being slightly circumcised should have sexually crippled me, how can I still be completely satisfied following a sexual experience? I've had situations where oral sexual stimulus became so intense that I actually had to yell out "PLEASE STOP!!! OH GOD PLEASE STOP!!!" It simply doesn't make sense. If circumcision was turning men into eunuchs worldwide, wouldn't that have affected the birth rate by now?

That's where I was a month ago, just before I decided to try out my own little experiment.

Yes, I'm restoring my foreskin.

As I've said before, I'm annoyed at being circumcised, but not angry over it. But I'm still fascinated by the idea of actually rebuilding my foreskin. When I see an uncircumcised penis, I see something that looks natural, all dressed up, and pretty handsome. I've never seen it as an ugly or stinky body part.

Yes, I know my new skin won't be the original, but if my guess is right, it'll be pretty damn close. The restored foreskin will be an extension of the remnants of the original, meaning that as the skin grows and expands, so will the blood vessels and nerve endings, possibly replacing nearly everything that was originally lost.

Aside from the lack of a ridged band (for which I have doubts over the sensitivity claims), my new foreskin will probably be very close to the look and feel of the original. It may even look and feel better than the original since I have full control over the restoration process. I can decide how long or how short I want it to be instead of having mother nature make that decision for me.

The major questions which this one year experiment will help answer are:

- Is there a marked difference between the sensitivity of a covered glans and an uncovered one? I've had a taste of that when I switched from briefs to boxers many years ago. The glans was protesting so much that I could barely walk! After being desensitized however, my sexual abilities haven't really changed. So what's the deal here?
- Is the sex better? Or is it simply different? Leave the emotional luggage behind, and concentrate on the actual improvements. Don't just say it's better because it's different. You just need to change techniques to achieve that regardless of your condition.
- How closely can I make this thing look like what I'd like in a foreskin? Will I change my mind and stop the restoration process early? Will I overdo it and end up with a ridiculous amount of overhang? Or will I like the results so much that I'd want to decorate my penis with some jewelery such as a pinless prince's wand? (No, I'm NOT kidding! They're incredibly fascinating! And no piercings required!)

The restoration process I'm using is the T-Tape method. The materials are cheap and readily available, the process itself is discrete and is easy to control, and after a month of restoring it's actually showing some initial results. It's a fascinating body modification with all the benefits of body piercings and tattoos, but without the hepatitis.

So to both the pro and anti circ lobby groups out there on the Internet, you're all on notice. Your credibility will be determined by the ACTUAL results I'll achieve with this little experiment, without all the emotional hysterics that too often accompany the subject.

there must be a reason that we are born with it.
its natural.

I'm cut. Any sons I have will be cut. And none of it will be done for a religious tradition, either.

My ex was cut. My son is uncut. I didn't see the need for cosmetic surgery on my perfect infant son.

As for sex, I've been with both, and I actually prefer uncut. Because the foreskin slides, I find that it's more about the pressure and motion and less about the friction. It just feels better. And giving a handjob to an uncut guy is fabulously easy.
