Uncut: A Look at the Wacky, Wrinkly World of Foreskin Restoration

Article here. Excerpt:

'Carl is one of thousands of men who resent being circumcised, which they liken to genital mutilation. They call themselves restorers and, to cope, endeavor to stretch their skin to take the place of what was snipped away at birth.

But regenerating an inch of skin is a superhuman feat. A foreskin can't simply grow back like a lizard's tail; it takes one to five years of grueling stretching and a slew of strange devices. It's physically torturous and also isolating, since most men take on restoring without talking to loved ones or doctors. Many turn to online forums for guidance and support. And most quit before reaching their goal.

"Some people think this is a body modification," Carl says. "But, if you think about it, it's really a reversal of a body modification."'
