I want my foreskin back. I'm thinking about restoring mine.

[–] homes@piefed.world 6 points 6 days ago (2 children)

from all of the research I've done into the matter, it's a huge amount of work/effort for not much of a payoff. there are a lot of options/paths to go down, and - admittedly - it's been almost a 15 years since I really looked into it, so there may have been some worthwhile advances since then, but, given the state of things at the time, I doubt it.

but I don't mean to discourage you, and what I might have deemed "worth it" or not, you might feel differently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I've mostly restored mine and am very happy with it that way, took years although I would get lazy and take breaks often. Not the same as never having done it but definitely glad I put the effort in. Nice to be able to go all day with it covered and it does improve sensitivity and function in a lot of ways. I was happy with my penis before too, just wanted to get the most out of it.

One of the reddit communities I miss is foreskin restoration, got quite a few good tips there. Maybe something like that could happen here.

What method did you use to restore it if I may ask?

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago

Sorry to take so long responding!

I used a variety of methods over the years, starting with manual stretching and T-tape, which I'm not super fond of but might have helped in the beginning before I had much to work with. Luckily my circumcision was not super tight originally. Later on I tried various devices that hold and stretch the skin with a silicone cap over a rounded elongated piece that sits against the glans and later, ones that inflate the skin with air while its stretched over a similar device. I also used these silicone "cupping" devices to suck and stretch the foreskin down this ~3 conical tube, and secured the suction with silicone finger sleeves stretched over the tube onto the skin of the shaft - I haven't seen anyone else mention this method and found it very helpful.

As the foreskin grew more I found different manual stretching techniques to be more effective and I mainly use those now. I experimented with modified adhesive pads on a TENS device to strengthen the loop of muscle at the edge of the foreskin to ensure more secure coverage, which may or may not have helped but was, uhh, interesting I guess? Also icing the pulled forward foreskin after a hot shower also encouraged tightening at the front end for a more natural constriction and retention during my day.

I intend to continue stretching for a while yet until I'm satisfied with it, and able to have full erect coverage, t pulls about halfway up the glans now when fully erect. I haven't had any ill effects or injury apart from the occasional mild scuffing, had been haphazardly attempting to restore for about 2 decades but only really began in earnest during the pandemic when I needed a hobby.

Thanks for asking!

I don’t mean to discourage you

hey, if you chose the path of restoration, I intend nothing but support. I apologize if you felt that I intended anything else. I misspoke!

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Oh no offense taken, to each their own. I just didn't want casual readers to think the process is harder than it actually is or that it doesn't produce worthwhile results. I'm as surprised as anyone, who'd have thought something like that could be somewhat reversed!

[–] applebusch@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

We will never get the nerves back. It's not just a lump of unfeeling skin that covers the glans. That's what stops me from trying. Like yeah I can stretch it to cover the glans when it's soft but I will never get the sensation back. That was stolen from me by people who were meant to care for me, and I will always have the scars.

[–] UnPassive@lemmy.world 1 points 5 days ago

Not true. Foreskin restoration uses a natural skin growth process called mitosis. Same thing that happens when people put on weight, or muscle, or get pregnant. Their skin doesn't get stretched thin and have less nerves relative to the area it covers. You do grow new nerves, and not just generic nerves, but nerves relative to the neighboring skin - so in the penis's case, the erotic kind.

I used to have just a little dot of sensitive frenulum, but after restoring a couple years it's around 1.5 CM long and this is a huge sensitivity boost for me. I don't want to oversell it, my penis was pretty great before, but I feel like I'm still not used to the improvement and will continue the annoying restoration process for these little gains gladly
