The First Tenet of Foreskin Restoration

Not to some people, apparently...

That's why discussing this is SO FREAKIN FRUSTRATING. Too many people think (or at least insist) that circumcision is about as harmful as popping a pimple.

I don't understand the frustration... the people that feel the same as you will restore, the rest who don't won't. No sense crying over spilled milk... I think that most people here don't agree with the continued practice of it but it's still out of yours and my hands. We can discuss the pros and cons of it all day and in the end, the people that want to continue it for religious or other reasons will continue to have the doc snip their kids.

The good thing about discussing this topic is that more people are now exposed to the subject as before. What's unfortunate is that in the grand scheme of things, our group on this board is just a drop in the bucket when compared to the number of males that have never heard of FR. If you truely find that FR is your mission, then you need to take your crusade beyond the borders of MOS. Fact is... these debates have done more for getting the word out on circumcision then anything that you guys have done in the past.

Very true, sikdogg.

I think the frustration MDC is talking about is not so much someone saying, "Yeah, I know all that, but I just like being cut..." than someone saying, "Oh, you guys are crazy! FR doesn't have any real benefits. Circumcision is good for you. All that stuff you talk about is in your head." The difference is, someone who dogs FR may dissuade another person from trying it...and that might be a person that FR could really help.

Finally, FR is basically penis enlargement at its core. You're growing skin. Its no different than clamping or stretching, and I think DLD understands that, even though he has little interest in FR. What better place to be than MOS?

It's that many people can't imagine circumcision being harmful (I guess they might in cases where the baby dies, or has to become a baby "girl" because of complications). The people that think you're crazy if you suggest that babies should not have most of their penis skin amputated for no reason other than the parent's desire.

I get along just fine despite being circumcised. But that doesn't mean that I should be ok with it being done to other babies.

I hear ya bro... although i'm not bitter about being cut, i sometimes wish i wasn't cut. What's interesting is that i wasn't cut at birth like most but when i was a teen as is the practice for my culture.
