I'm against restoration - RAGE - 06-27-2026
The default model for how victims of MGM find justice is generally through restoration. I hate that this is our default. Firstly, restoring is incredibly delusional. The phrasing itself is just plain wrong? What is being "restored" exactly? What was taken from us can never be restored. A better word choice would be "replicating."
I find the fact that a large chunk of the men in this movement against MGM strapping things to and tugging their dick all day for a decade to be immensely humiliating. I've never restored, never considered it as an option, and will never do it. I'm not "stuck in my ways". I'm simply not delusional.
I hate that when you vent to people on the Internet about struggling with MGM, there is always a shithead in the comments that asks "Well, have you started restoring?" like its up to ME to manifest my own justice. Justice to me looks like a large lump sum of money in my pockets AND mutilators either in prison for life or executed. There is no in between for me.
Our default model needs desperate change because we cannot place the burden of "restoring" on victims. It is the government/state that needs to give us our justice, not ourselves. It's fucking ridiculous how this movement operates.
I also have a general distaste towards those that have chosen the route of "restoration." I understand that anyone doing it is only trying to live a happier life, but the energy could be better used somewhere else. I hate to sound like a crab in a bucket but I find those individuals to only be emasculating themselves further every time they put on a tugger. And of course as mentioned earlier, anyone doing "restoration" is suffering from delusion. You CANNOT get back what was taken. Full stop. It cannot be done. Those nerves are gone forever. Yeah, I know it sucks to hear but that's the truth.

Dear Rage:
Every circumcised man has a right to be enraged. His legal and human rights have been violated. His prepuce has been irreversibly amputated.
What is to be done to rectify the situation?
1. One can do nothing and remain in a rage for the rest of one's life, which seems to be your response.
2. One can commit suicide, which a few men have done.
3. One can sue one's circumciser as William Stowell did in 2003.
4. One can have a surgical foreskin "restoration", which is now being offered by Sven Gunther, MD, a physician in California.
5. One can undertake a non-surgical, tissue expansion to elongate one's residual shaft skin into a foreskin. This is the way Google describes it:
Quote:A recent unofficial and very unscientific poll of restorers on our reddit sub – reddit.com/r/foreskin_restoration –
identified many benefits that accrue during the process of restoring one’s foreskin. In the first section are those
mentioned by the most respondents – in no particular order.
1. The end of overly tight erections.
2. Dekeratinization, giving increased sensitivity and softness of the glans and inner foreskin.
3. Return of the natural mucosa of the glans and inner foreskin, including biome, moisture and
odor.
4. Improved orgasms, including whole-body orgasms for some.
5. Gliding action.
6. Ability to have sex and masturbate without lube.
7. Improved self-esteem, self-dignity, sense of safety, confidence and body appreciation.
8. A more natural appearance.
9. Increased pleasure for sex partners.
10. Increase of pleasure throughout the sex act or masturbation, not just at the end.
The following benefits were reported by one or more restorers. Again, they are not in any particular order.
11. No bending of the shaft/glans caused by a lack of skin.
12. A proper sulcus.
13. Scrotum where it’s supposed to be - instead of balls pulled up the shaft.
14. Relaxed scrotal skin on the scrotum - where it belongs.
15. Balls at a proper distance below your shaft which increases testosterone by keeping your balls
cooler.
16. An internal sex organ - the glans - instead of an exposed one.
17. Protection of the glans and inner mucosa.
18. Appropriate, natural, sensitivity - increased sensitivity for some and decreased sensitivity for
others.
19. Resolution of erectile dysfunction and other issues like taking a long time to orgasm or
premature ejaculation.
20. Increased erect length and girth for about 50% of restorers.
21. Increased flaccid size for about 25% of restorers.
22. Sense of accomplishment.
23. Ability to tailor foreskin to your goals - amount of inner skin/ mucosa, amount of outer skin,
amount of overhang, etc.
24. Membership in a great community and a small club of restored/restoring men.
25. A sense of pride and appreciation of the foreskin that few intact men have.
26. To be able to say, "Fuck doctors, religious fanatics and stupid parents for making the choice for
me".
27. Being able to be proudly nude in public.
28. Feeling nothing on a long bicycle ride or other exercise, or just wearing clothes.
29. Regaining identity as an uncircumcised person and control over my own body.
30. Ability to dock with a partner.
31. Undoing a mistake that was made by other people without my consent.
32. For trans women, growing valuable tissue for better results from bottom surgery and reducing
genital dysphoria.
33. Increased amounts of pre-ejaculate fluid.
34. Protection from sunburn on sensitive mucosa.
35. Satisfying some curiosities about what it’s like to have a functional foreskin.
36. Longer and stronger orgasms and more control over them.
37. Regaining the afterglow and actual satisfaction.
38. Partial healing of the permanent mental damage caused by circumcision without anesthesia.
39. Improves meatal stenosis.
There are some things that cannot be restored. One cannot restore the ridged band and one cannot restore the frenulum.
It does not take ten years to receive a benefit. If a circumcised man has painful erections due to the amputation of excessive skin, the relief is almost immediate.
I chose to "restore" my foreskin non-surgically. I have no regrets. My glans penis is fully covered by my extended shaft skin as I type. It increases my comfort to be covered and protected. I have that benefit 24/7, as well as many other benefits.
