Question:
does foreskin restoration, restore sensitivity as well?
2010-05-06 00:23:41 UTC
My partner has been circumcised at an early age and he has lost his sensitivity on the glans and the frenulum. the only sensitive areas are the untouched ones. His glans is only sensitive to pressure. I was reading about foreskin restoration (didn't know it existed until a few hours ago), and I would like to give him good news, that his sensitivity will come back. But the only ones that can help me are the ones that have their own personal story to tell. My questions are: will the sensitivity come back after a while? does this happen in all cases? what does it depend on, apart from the method being done correctly or not?
any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :)

I have to contradict Aan and say that yes, fortunately, it does. I have been restoring for three years now and it is the best thing that has ever happened to me. I was circumcised as a child and hated it my whole life. I also had lost much of the sensitivity from the glans being exposed to rub raw in my clothes, and dry out. The glans is designed as an internal organ, to be sheathed, protected, and kept moist and healthy inside the foreskin. It is not an external organ made to be covered over with non sensitive scar tissue, and dried out.

By the time I was in my early 40s, sex had become a chore. As soon as I started to restore, and keep the glans covered, the sensitivity began to come back. Now, the glans is a healthy, glossy, rich colour, and things have improved dramatically. My wife and sons notices I am a much happier person,..however only my wife knows why.

The foreskin I restore will never be as good as the one that was hacked off my protesting body all those years ago, but it will be far better than living out my life circumcised.

The original foreskin contains 20,000+ touch and pressure sensitive receptors and represents 75% of the sexually sensitive tissue on the penis. In no way can you remove that much and that kind of tissue from the penis and claim there is no detrimental affect.

Foreskin restoration has been so good for me, I am motivated to help other guys get started. I have posted some links below to some information sites about foreskin restoration. After you and your partner have read through them, you will have a million questions. Please feel free to e-mail me through my profile page and I will be happy to help you both get underway. It is a time and dedication thing, but worth every second of time and every bit of effort.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

There are two things that cause sensitivity loss from a circumcision.

#1 is the nerve endings being cut off or severed

#2 the glans constantly rubbing on clothing and drying out.



He will only gain back the sensitivity loss from #2. However I have this to say, as a man who restored I DOUBLED my sensitivity with foreskin restoration. The sensitivity increase is drastic even if not al is restored.

The process is, once the glans is covered 24/7 and kept moist the head will start shedding skin basically for a few months. The skin peeling off is skin that has built up oer time protecting the glans from all the cothing chaffing. Once all of this peels off (6-9 months) he will feel sensitivty increase durring and after.

However his glans has to be covered. So he won't notice a sensitiviy gain untill his head is always covered. What I did is I bought a Senslip, it's an artificial foreskin, and I wore that while I wasn't weatring my device. That way I didn't have to wait untill the end of my restoring to get the coverage I needed for the sensitivity gain.



Yes this happens in ALL cases if it's done correctly, which it's really hard to mess up lol.



Also what he needs to know before getting too far into this. Go to google and look up foreskin coverage index. This is a scale of foreskin coverage over the head of the penis (none of the men in this scale are restored). Your partner MUST be at least a CI-3 before starting any device. If he's not at that point he can do mannual restoration methods (with his hands pulling the skin) untill he does. Otherwise the device will be painful or pull too hard on the skin causing problems and it wont be growing the skin, just hurting it.



If you have any other questions or concerns feel free to email me off my profile.

May I add my two cents? I started restoring in 1996 and did so pretty hard core for a year or two. since then I have, off and on, done some more. I am for all practical purposes finished restoring. I have a "foreskin" that has even fooled uncircumcised guys and at least one doctor!. As far as sensitivity goes, absolutely. The increased sensitivity is very noticeable. Before I started restoring it was getting difficult to reach orgasm because of the decreased sensitivity with age. (I was 40). That was completely reversed and I gained much more than I had ever had. Additionally, there was a new sensation from the gliding movement that is extremely pleasurable. Whereas I'll never know what it is like to be uncircumscised, I do know what it is like to be circumscised and then "de-circumscised". I'll take "de-circumscised " any day.

Yes, there is a vast increase of sensitivity with foreskin restoration.



The restoration process dekeratinizes the glans and the inner foreskin, which improves sensitivity.



The inner foreskin adds a whole new dimension to sexual feeling that a male without a foreskin cannot experience. In my case, the new inner foreskin is almost more sensitive than the glans.



But each case is different. There are no standards to circumcision, which is why the damage to sexual feeling/function varies so much. The wounds to the penis from the mutilation vary wildly in location and depth; the scars can be located anywhere from just below the glans to 1/2 or even 2/3 of the way down the penile shaft.



The usual loss of sexual sensitivity from circumcision is roughly 50-75%, and can even be more in some cases. I experienced a similar loss to your partners.



Restoration is a very slow process, taking several years. I did experience a marked increase in sensitivity just three months into my restoration. I had an increase in the intensity of orgasm, as well, and quite an increase in my libido.



Surgical restoration doesn't yield satisfactory results. They transplant skin, usually from the scrotum, grafting it onto the penile shaft. Since nerves do not regenerate and "reconnect" there is no feeling in the new foreskin, it is just numb. The skin also has the wrong texture and an odd appearance.



Non-surgical restoration methods are successful, but they take several years to acomplish.

They all involve putting tension on the penile shaft skin, which allows new skin cells to fill in, slowly and gradually extending it into a new foreskin, with most of the same sensitivity of the original



There are three techniques; taping, manual restoration, and devices.



I use the most popular of the devices; the TLC Tugger. I'm also a member of NORM, the National Organization of Restoring Men.



More than 200,000 guys are restoring their foreskins, to regain some of the sensitivity/function destroyed by the damage that is circumcision. Foreskin restoration will not repair the permanent neural/vascular damage of circumcision, but it does vastly improve sensitivity/function.



You can google "foreskin restoration" for more information. There are sites for guidance, advice on techniques and emotional support, and lots of different devices.



Foreskin restoration is the best thing I've ever done for myself. It feels so much better, and I also feel more whole and complete as a man.



Circumcision is a fraud and a hoax.



A foreskin is not a birth defect; it is a birthright.

Yes, it most definitely does restore some sensitivity, but only the sensitivity the glans looses from it's constant friction against the clothing. But when a man has so little feeling left any recovery is a major improvement.



The majority of the loss is directly from loss of nerve tissue, the 20,000 nerve endings that are amputated in the foreskin it's self. These of course can not be recovered. But to make the best of a bad situation, non-surgical foreskin restoration is the best option.



to Aan: When a boy or man is "circumcised" the friction of clothing is excruciating for some weeks until the sensitivity is lost. Guess what, that natural sensitivity does not come back for sex! However, by protecting the glans from that friction for some time, some sensation will be recovered. That, little one, is common sense!

I'm intact, so I don't know. From what I've read here, when the glans is covered by a restored foreskin, the sensitivity will return to some extent. I have also heard of a product called Man-Hoods that can protect the glans until restoration is achieved. Good luck.

Unfortunately NO.



This is in response to people who have responded to my response. People who claim to have reclaimed sensitivity are only doing so to feel good about themselves. Truth is sometimes hard to digest. I am sorry if I were blunt with my answer. I wish your boy friend all the best. I sure hope he can put up a good act in bed after the so called restoration.
