      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)_/¯

        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.

          Not true. Foreskin restoration uses a natural skin growth process called mitosis. Same thing that happens when people put on weight, or muscle, or get pregnant. Their skin doesn’t get stretched thin and have less nerves relative to the area it covers. You do grow new nerves, and not just generic nerves, but nerves relative to the neighboring skin - so in the penis’s case, the erotic kind.

          I used to have just a little dot of sensitive frenulum, but after restoring a couple years it’s around 1.5 CM long and this is a huge sensitivity boost for me. I don’t want to oversell it, my penis was pretty great before, but I feel like I’m still not used to the improvement and will continue the annoying restoration process for these little gains gladly
