    from all of the research I’ve done into the matter, it’s a huge amount of work/effort for not much of a payoff. there are a lot of options/paths to go down, and - admittedly - it’s been almost a 15 years since I really looked into it, so there may have been some worthwhile advances since then, but, given the state of things at the time, I doubt it.

    but I don’t mean to discourage you, and what I might have deemed “worth it” or not, you might feel differently. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

      I’ve mostly restored mine and am very happy with it that way, took years although I would get lazy and take breaks often. Not the same as never having done it but definitely glad I put the effort in. Nice to be able to go all day with it covered and it does improve sensitivity and function in a lot of ways. I was happy with my penis before too, just wanted to get the most out of it.

      One of the reddit communities I miss is foreskin restoration, got quite a few good tips there. Maybe something like that could happen here.

        hey, if you chose the path of restoration, I intend nothing but support. I apologize if you felt that I intended anything else. I misspoke!

          Oh no offense taken, to each their own. I just didn’t want casual readers to think the process is harder than it actually is or that it doesn’t produce worthwhile results. I’m as surprised as anyone, who’d have thought something like that could be somewhat reversed!

      We will never get the nerves back. It’s not just a lump of unfeeling skin that covers the glans. That’s what stops me from trying. Like yeah I can stretch it to cover the glans when it’s soft but I will never get the sensation back. That was stolen from me by people who were meant to care for me, and I will always have the scars.
