Personally Pt2

So after another 9 months of restoring
mainly with the DTR Tugger during the day


And Below the TLC Cone at Night
(tugging is too uncomfortable
and dangerous with Nocturnal Erections)



Now erect the skin is less visibly tight

than it was 9 months ago (Below)


and flaccid there is more bunching behind the 'Head' of foreskin


So Overall my observations are that while the regrowth of my foreskin has not been as rapid as desired there is still many improvements from a personal view point ;

Mobility (Aka Glide) : 4/10
Dekeratinization : 2/10 (no improvement)
Sensitivity : 3/10
Coverage Index : C3

Cat 2

Link to Website to research or Buy device



To Quote the designer :

"Constant Applied Tension" stretcher or the CAT Stretcher, which applies outer and inner adjustable tension. (The first CAT Stretcher used tape and the current CAT Stretcher has progressed to tapeless... the CAT II Q ... quick). There is a "pusher" to go against the glans, and a "puller" to grab the foreskin via an outer silicone cone. In between both, pusher and puller, is a rod, which the puller travels on for quickly adjusting the tension. It's much like the plug type foreskin stretcher, with the addition of the tensioner rod between the two halves (<<--->>). The features, which set the CAT II Q stretcher ahead of others, is the "Quick tensioning" method and price, which is lower than any of the similar restoration methods, without compromising quality. The "CAT II Q - daily stretcher" will tension the inner foreskin and outer skin, at the same rate.

Having not tried this device i can not comment or review it but the concept is 'Sound'

Missing frenulum




Missing frenulum

Circumcision Damage - Missing Frenulum (36 KB)

The frenulum is a web of tissue connecting the foreskin to the underside of the glans (similar to the frenulum under the tongue or the upper lip). The penile frenulum is densely nerve-laden and is described as a male 'G-spot' a very erogenous part of the penis. Circumcision often destroys the frenulum.

Top Circumcised penis with no frenulum.

Lower: Intact penis with retracted foreskin and an intact frenulum.

Reasons Against by TLC

You have no moral right to amputate healthy tissue from a minor. It's his choice to make as an adult. Based on experience in Sweden and other places where non-religious routine circumcision is unheard of, the actual likelihood that anything about an infant's foreskin will threaten him before he is 18 to the point that circumcision will improve things is one in 10,000. When he is an adult he will thank you for leaving him intact. Top Ten Reasons to Leave Your Son Intact:

10: Condoms prevent AIDS, surgery does not. Most deceased US victims of AIDS were circumcised at birth. See also CBC Article.

9: Adults who've had it both ways say the foreskin is highly erogenous tissue. Circumcision removes about 20,000 specialized pleasure-receptive nerve endings, destroys the highly sensitive frenulum, and removes the wonderful frictionless rolling/gliding action of the normal penile skin system.

8: UTIs are more common in girls than in any group of boys, and are treated by medicine, not amputation.

7: 43,000 boys are mutilated for life for every case of penile cancer in an old man with poor hygiene, which has no relationship with intactness (penile cancer is as rare in Denmark where almost no one is cut as it is in the US where the majority are mutilated). MALE breast cancer kills more men than penile cancer does - so, what... we should cut off baby boys' breasts?.

6: About 80% of the world's men are intact. They have no special health problems or lack of partners.

5: Only an informed adult can morally consent to his own cosmetic surgery. It's risky - see complications. Infancy is truly the worst time to circumcise due to the scale of things, challenges of effective anesthesia, healing in fouled diapers, risk of healing/recovery side effects that the patient can't report, and of course since he can't give informed consent any non-emergency amputation is a gross human rights violation.

4: Over 100,000 men are enduring a multi-year restoration process; don't make your child a recovering amputee.

3: The Israel Medical Association gives this article which makes plain that there is no evidence linking cervical cancer specifically to the status of a woman's partner. Besides, now that an HPV vaccine has been developed, this issue has no bearing on infant genital integrity.

2: No national medical organization in the world recommends routine circumcision for any medical reason.

1: Foreskin feels really good, and it's HIS !

circumcision-related damage

Other circumcision-related damage may include:

Meatal stenosis: The normal meatus (urinary opening) in an intact penis is a long slit. When the infant's penis is deprived of its protective foreskin, the meatus can become ulcerated (irritated) by urine, feces and abrasion from diapers. Ulceration can lead to stenosis (narrowing) of the meatus. If the stenosis is severe and impedes urination, a boy may need a meatotomy (surgical reopening of the meatus).

Bowing/curvature of the penis: Uneven removal of tissue during circumcision can cause skin to be tighter on one side of the penis than the other. Bowing or curvature during erection can result. Curvatures can also be congenital (from birth) or the result of Peyronie's Disease.

Skin tags: These are portions of the foreskin that remain after an uneven circumcision.

Hemorrhage, infection, penile amputation, gender reassignment and death are other self-evident forms of damage.
