FORESKIN RESTORATION OR DE-CIRCUMCISION.
FORESKIN RESTORATION OR DE-CIRCUMCISION.
If you were circumcised, are dissatisfied and would like to reverse
some of the effects of this operation, you are not alone.
Thousands of men are undergoing foreskin restoration today, and their
numbers are growing.
While non-surgical restoration of the foreskin takes patience, the
benefits of this process are many.
A return of sensitivity to the glans and what remains of the inner lining of the foreskin are the most notable benefits.
Others include protection from chafing by clothes, protection from cold weather and harmful effects of the sun (if you’re a naturist), and a feeling of regaining control of one’s body after it was violated by others.
The erogenous tissue and mucous membrane of the foreskin are gone
forever, but with skin stretching, the glans can be recovered and the
appearance and function of a real foreskin can be approximated, bringing with
it a renewed feeling of wholeness. Not surprisingly,
most restorees also experience enhanced sexual satisfaction.
A restored foreskin can enable you to enjoy sensations you had
never previously experienced. This is especially
good news for men who are circumcised so tightly that they experience pain with
erection, masturbation or intercourse.
Once the glans is covered and protected, the keratinization
process reverses itself, sometimes with dramatic speed. This means that the extra layers of skin
slough off.
Most men restore by stretching.
Some undergo surgical foreskin restoration, which is costly and not
without risk. Also, the result is
generally not as satisfactory as the stretching technique has proven to
be. Some men have recovered the glans by
persistent manual stretching.
The standard stretching technique is as follows:-
Purchase a good brand of first aid tape, either of the paper, cloth,
or plastic variety. Tape especially
designed for sensitive skin such as Transpore (can be found at most drug stores, chemists or surgical supply stores).
Do not use masking tape or cellophane tape, as they will cause discomfort.
To begin, pull the existing shaft skin forward over the glans and
hold it in place with tape. This may be
difficult at first, depending on the severity of the circumcision. Over time, the skin stretches, much like an
earlobe does when weighted down with heavy earrings.
Progress varies greatly -- sometimes taking months or years.
Be patient. Much of the
stretching takes place during nocturnal erections if you stay taped at
night. This may be painful if the skin
is too tight.
At any sign of pain, loosen or remove the tape.
At any sign of pain, loosen or remove the tape.
Over time, the skin will stretch and become more comfortable.
Eventually a point of equilibrium will be reached. Then little or no progress will be made by
the tape alone.
Certain devices are then needed to facilitate the stretching process.
These work by providing more surface for the skin to be pulled over, and by adding weight or tension on the skin. Various weighted devices are available.
Some men also use an elastic strap device. Others simply use consistent and persistent manual stretching techniques.
It is advised that you seek out a local support group, known as
**NORM, the National Organization of Restoring Men.
These groups can provide valuable technical support, as well as the moral support one needs for a lengthy process of this type.

FORCED CIRCUMCISION.
FORCED CIRCUMCISION.
Forced circumcision most commonly refers to the circumcision of a male who has not given his consent.
The vast majority of circumcisions, albeit non-violent, are done to male neonates and children, who cannot give informed consent; but this article covers mainly forced circumcisions of adult men as acts of violence.
In a biblical context the term is used especially in relation to Paul the Apostle and his polemics against the forced circumcision of gentile Christians.
More often, forced circumcisions have occurred in a wide range of situations, most notably in the compulsory conversion of non-Muslims to Islam and the forced circumcision of Teso, Turkana and Luo men in Kenya, as well as the abduction of South-African teenage boys to so-called circumcision schools ("bush schools.").
In South Africa, custom allows uncircumcised Xhosa-speaking men past the age of circumcision (i.e., 25 years or older) to be overpowered by other men and forcibly circumcised.

POLICIES AND MYTHS.
Slicing Through the Myths of Circumcision... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkBsrBHpbDs
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The
American Academy of Pediatrics policy on male genital cutting is culturally
biased and seriously flawed.
It should be withdrawn.
It should be withdrawn.
·
It
fails to consider the structure or functions of the foreskin, a normal healthy
body part, only the cutting of it off. It does not, for example, cite Taylor's
ground-breaking 1996 paper, the prepuce: Specialized mucosa of the penis and its
loss to circumcision.
The erogenous value of the foreskin has been known for millennia, even to its enemies. Recent denial of that value is confined to those who have no experience of it.
The erogenous value of the foreskin has been known for millennia, even to its enemies. Recent denial of that value is confined to those who have no experience of it.
·
It
bases its conclusions about sexuality on two physiological studies that did not
consider the foreskin, and on surveys of African adult volunteers for
circumcision in the context of HIV prevention.
·
It
treats normal intact penile features as pathological; late separation of the prepuce
from the glans can take as long as 17 years but the AAP says it should
separate within two months; and it associates "preputial wetness"
with disease when it is normal, just like oral wetness.
·
It
is filled with confirmation bias - finding the results the authors want.
·
It
claims benefits of circumcising outweigh the risks without ever numerically
comparing them.
·
It
exaggerates benefits and minimizes risks and harm: For example -
It
cites a study showing that "circumcision ablates [removes] the most
sensitive part of the penis" and ignores that finding.
·
It
admits the African HIV findings may not be applicable to the USA, but goes
ahead and applies them. (In three pages discussing STIs and HIV, the word
"condom" does not appear.)
·
It
cites a study suggesting circumcising men increases the HIV risk to
women, and ignores that finding. (That study was called off "for
futility" - an increased risk of HIV transmission apparently of no
interest to the researchers - before it could reach statistical significance.)
·
It
cites a study showing that a narrow foreskin (phimosis), not a normal one, is
the issue in penile cancer, and ignores that finding.
·
It
dismisses major complications and death from circumcision because it did not
find any statistical studies of them.
·
It
discusses the action of the Mogen circumcision clamp without mentioning that
the clamp has caused too much of several boys' penises to be cut off; lawsuits
have driven the company out of business.
·
It
repeats the common claim that it is safer to circumcise babies than adults, but
offers no evidence for that claim.
·
Its
discussion of the ethical question of removing genital tissue from a
non-consenting person versus leaving it for him to decide assigns no value to
his autonomy or his human right to bodily integrity.
·
It
compares the costs of circumcising early vs late, but not with the benefits of
not doing it at all.
·
Its
ethical consultant has said elsewhere that circumcision is not necessary and
has a risk of harm, and that a parental wish is not sufficient to justify doing
any surgery, and it ignores that.
The AAP should withdraw its circumcision policy the way it withdrew its female genital cutting policy after a storm of outrage two years ago, when it recommended a token ritual nick to baby girls, much LESS extensive than neonatal male genital cutting.
If that was unacceptable, how can this be acceptable?
The public mood is turning against infant circumcision. The Intactivism movement has found a receptive audience, especially among young people through social media.
(This video was created within 36 hours of the AAP releasing its policy.)
The AAP's policy seems bent, not on considering the healthy intact penis at all, but on restoring insurance and public funding to circumcision in order to find a new market among the poor.
It does a disservice to the growing number of boy babies being left intact, and their parents - and an even greater disservice to the boys who will be circumcised as a result of its strident advocacy, and to the men they become.
CIRCUMCISION AS A MEMEPLEX.
CIRCUMCISION AS A MEMEPLEX.
[A meme is "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation."]
Unlike genes, only human (and possibly some primate, and electronic) brains carry memes.
A good analogy for a meme today is a computer virus. In fact, a computer virus, being merely information stored in, and transmitted between, information processing systems, is more like a meme than it is like a biological virus (which is a self-contained physical entity that actually moves between organisms, carrying genetic information with it).
He says a Martian geneticist... would have to work quite hard to discover that no genes are involved in the genesis of the "roundhead" (circumcised) phenotype.
Richard Dawkins says that as with genes, we track memes through populations by their phenotypes [ways of being physically expressed]. And he cites circumcision as a rare example of a meme phenotype that is part of a living body, like most gene phenotypes.
He says a Martian geneticist... would have to work quite hard to discover that no genes are involved in the genesis of the "roundhead" (circumcised) phenotype.
Susan Blackmore suggests that the taboo on masturbation, and circumcision, both have the evolutionary function of increasing the amount of vaginal sex, and hence the number of offspring to whom the taboo can be taught.
Enter evolutionary biology. But there is no evidence that circumcision significantly increases the birth-rate, and many circumcised men claim circumcision does not make masturbation more difficult.

But the belief that it did was sufficient to establish it in the U.K. and then the U.S., late in the 19th century, and once established, it sustained (and sustains) itself by associated memes that had (and have) nothing to do with masturbation or sex.
In fact, for most of the 20th century, any role of the foreskin in sex has been ignored or denied in circumcising cultures.

AMPUTATION INSTEAD OF CIRCUMCISION!
Amputation Instead Of Circumcision!!
Man Sues Hospital After Surgery.
An Alabama man says doctors mistakenly removed his penis during what was supposed to be a routine circumcision procedure, and now he has filed suit against the physicians and hospitals involved.
According to the lawsuit filed on Tuesday this week in state court, Johnny Lee Banks Jr. emerged from what should have been a standard circumcision surgery at Princeton Baptist Medical Center last month with more of him missing than he had anticipated.
"When the plaintiff ... awoke from his aforesaid surgical procedure, his penis was amputated," Al.com journalist Kent Faulk quoted from the lawsuit.
The plaintiff's "never gave consent for the complete or partial amputation of (his) penis."
"My client is devastated," said Banks' attorney, John Graves.
He is far from the only circumcision patient to suffer the same fate: a Kentucky men claimed in court that his penis was amputated after the doctors who operated on him in 2007 said they found signs of cancer and had “no reasonable option” other than removing the entire penis unbeknownst to the patient.
In the case of Banks, neither side of the suit has explained yet why, exactly, the plaintiff’s penis was allegedly removed.

THE DOCTORS.
The Doctors: Daytime Talk Show Disaster.
Daytime television talk shows have never been known for giving the most reliable information to the public.
A show called "The Doctors" is no exception.
(I'm going to go over a segment of the show that aired on the 12th of January, 2011.)
The segment is about the proposed circumcision ban in San Francisco California.
(I'm going to go over a segment of the show that aired on the 12th of January, 2011.)
The segment is about the proposed circumcision ban in San Francisco California.
This bill would ban non-consensual genital cutting of minors when there is no immediate medical necessity.
This bill is intended to protect minors, and does not ban medically necessary or adult consensual surgeries.
The clip begins with Doctor Drew Ordon making a horrible case for his position.
Dr. Drew, you will henceforth be known as Doctor Fallacy.

FORCED FORESKIN RETRACTION.
FORCED FORESKIN RETRACTION.
An Epidemic of Damage to Our Intact Sons.
Every single day in the United States, young boys with natural, intact penises are violated and injured by those they are taught to innately trust: their own healthcare providers.
At birth, the foreskin is fused to the glans (head) of the penis by a membrane known as the balano-preputial lamina.
This membrane, in the fullness of time, will dissolve naturally, allowing the foreskin to retract from the glans when desired by the male.
The age at which the foreskin can easily retract varies widely: some boys are retractable in their late toddler years, but many are well into teen years before the membrane dissolves fully.
Virtually all medical practicioners in countries that do not practice routine infant circumcision understand this process and know that to force back the foreskin before it is ready HURTS, opens the penis to infection, and can damage the foreskin itself, causing a lifetime of woe.
In the United States, many healthcare workers are ignorant of these facts.
Indeed, due to the prevalence of circumcision in decades of the past, healthcare providers have lost a generation of knowledge regarding proper care of the natural penis.
As a result, scores of young boys have been traumatized and injured by those very professionals pledged to protect them.
Some professionals remain stubbornly blind to the facts of proper penile care, and some are merely uninformed.
Either way, as caregivers to an intact boys, we must continue to promote correct standard of care.
