New and wondering what should be done.

[LanceCas]

Okay so like it says I'm new here. I recently found out about foreskin restoration about 2-3 months ago. I'm circumcised. And I hate it, I hate that something was taken from me at birth without my knowledge or consent, or even what I might want as a human being. I have a son, and he isn't circumcised for that exact reason, how could I do that to him? I couldn't. Now I should get to my question but I have more to say. Circumsicion is obviously wrong, if you were born with it it's there for a reason. Idgaf what anyone says or give a damn about any religious belief, that's part of the reason I don't have mine, cuz of the stupid bible. I don't believe in the god that the media portrays as some white guy with a beard sitting in some clouds watching every single thing everyone does. And if "god" intended for man to not have foreskin then he would have been created without one. It's mutilation, plain and simple.
I have plenty more to say but I should stop since this post might get taken down for "bashing religious beliefs." So, Im planning on restoring my foreskin (obviously) and after that getting an after surgery for a tapered end. I saw online that there is massage oil that supposedly helps you grow your foreskin back faster. Has anyone tried this and does it work? Also what would be the best starting method? Manual stretching right? And continually what is the best device I could possibly use after I stretch manually after a while. I would like quick results but also quality, the best. Ive seen that for some it's taken two years or more to regrow. I would like to know what my options are before I proceed with this endeavor.
Thanks in advance!

Hi! Bashing religious delusions is allowed. This forum is unique in that way.
And by the way, the bible condemns MGM (new testament). Not that it seems to matter much to "christians" anyway lol.

congrats on your whole son.

I think circumcision in thr old testament was a small incision because God didnt want to hurt his creations. And so after Jesus safrificed himself, there was no need for sacrifice in flesh or animal. I got my info here

Welcome! Lots to read here that will help you answer the questions you have. If reading doesn't do it, ask.

I do not see how a massage oil will help skin grow. I would not use it for that purpose. If you want something to help speed up dekeratinization, staying covered and applying any good moisturizer will help. I do not do that, but many do.

The common starting methods are cross taping and manual. Cross taping because it is mild, allows you to get used to restoring, and is effective in the first week or so. After that, it cannot provide enough tension, depending upon your remaining skin, of course.

Manual is fine and will take you to completion. No cost, just discipline and time needed.

All methods work the same and are effective if done properly. Choose the method that you are comfortable with and that appeals. The key is to do it on a daily basis, like brushing your teeth. It has to be a routine that you will do.

You will get quick results, but only partial, incremental results. It takes a long time to grow the amount of skin that was amputated. Think in terms of years, not months.

Quality is not a problem that I have seen. Tug and you grow skin. Grow skin and you get back a tremendous amount of sexual feeling and function for both you and your partner. Do it long enough (ie grow enough skin) and you get a very natural foreskin that will fool doctors when they examine you. The key is to grow enough to have some overhang. Then you do not need surgery, from what I have experienced and researched.

Keep in mind that it can take over a year for the skin to fully "normalize" or reach its final form and function. Photos of active restorers show swelling and relaxation in the muscle tone that does not provide and accurate picture of what their foreskin will ultimately be like.

Thanks. I would like to have full coverage while erect and for the foreskin to be taut to at least simulate the muscles that were taken away by the circumcision, that's why I wanted the after surgery. I saw on another site though that someone had it don't and it took six months to fully heal. That's not something that I like but I wanna get as close to what was taken away as possible. As for the amount of skin I have left its not a lot but it's not a little either. What kind of tape should I use? And how should I go about it? Do I wear it while out? Sleeping? And at home? I don't really want to do a strap system. It seems like a pain. So I might just tug whenever I have down time. Say 5-7 hours a day. I would also like to know some of your reasons for restoring and what you hope to accomplish when it's all said and done. I've looked at some devices and some of them seem to have the same idea. I would rather use something like the tugger and possibly wear while sleeping. I'm just not sure what to buy or where to start with the whole device thing. There are different size rods for the tugger for progression correct?

I tug during the day, night is too impractical and possibly a little hazardous. I tug using a canister device and tape. Some will tell you only use tapeless devices, some will say manual tugging. you will have to try them yourself and see what you like.

I would recommend waiting until you are finished, then see. I think you will find you do not need surgery.

Here is a link to what I do. It goes into those details.

But there is lots of variation possible. You have to think about yourself. What kind of tape? Rejuveness works well. Mefix works well. Both need to be ordered on-line. Many simply use whatever is available locally. Each tape is different and some people's skin works better with some tapes athan others. You need to experiment. Before I used Rejuveness, I used 3M Micropore Paper Tape. It worked well too.

Most wear tape or a device while awake. There is signficant risk of injury during sleep due to nocturnal erections. But some do that and like it. think about your risk tolerance. If you go that route, keep in mind that you need less tension so that nocturnal erections do not increase tension too much. You can simulate it by trying it out while awake. Give yourself some nice hard erections and roll around under the covers.

You can easily get enough time in doing it at home.

You do not need long time periods under tension, in my experience. Get the tension right, and short periods will be fine. Experiment to find out what works best for you. I would suggest ah hour or so, once or twice a day to start out. Then focus on the amount of tension.

I recommend against thinking of doing it when you happen to have down time. To be successful, this needs to become a daily part of your routine. You will be doing this for years, not months.

Why did I start? I cannot say, but when I stumbled on this concept, for some reason I felt a strong need to try it out. Just like when my son were born, for some reason I had a strond feeling that they should be intact, even though I had no idea what a foreskin provided at that time.

My goal is to have flaccid coverage 100% of the time, and to not get woken up at night when I have an erection.

Many like devices. The key is to choose a method(s) that you find easy to incorporate into your daily routine.

Start by reading the methods section. Read what others have to say about the various methods. See what appeals to you. While doing that, you can start with cross tape or manual. Then choose a method and give it a try. Nothing wrong with trying a few methods to find what works for you. Nogting wrond with waiting and reading first either. Nothing wrong with taking a break on and then.

All methods work the same. Tension induces cell division. Cell division = more cells = more skin. simple. the tension serves as a trigger. Since it is only a trigger, you do not need long periods of tension, though there is debate about this.

But to do it, you have to start.
