    i know this is a thing, but i really don’t understand the why. like, is it an aesthetics thing? is it something done as a sort quiet protest against the practice of circumcision as a whole? something else?

      Circumcision removes a lot of the sensitive tissue, making it harder for a man to climax, especially while masturbating.

      It’s done primarily by religious loons to ‘keep men from committing sin’, since they believe the only way a man should ever climax is during penetrative sex with a woman. But even then a circumcised man will feel less pleasure than an uncircumcised one.

      So this is primarily done to get some of the feeling back, both to be able to masturbate easier and to have greater pleasure during sex.

      Circumcision is abuse. Only rarely is it a medically sane practice. The glans basically becomes calloused, why would anyone want that?

      Foreskin restoration is a way to return to a more normal state, with a softer and more sensitive glans. That is the reason people want to restore.
