The circumcised men who want to restore their foreskin: ‘It’s not just sexual, it’s cultural and about identity’
“The Men Who Want Their Foreskin Back,” reads the title of an article published in The Cut by Bianca Bosker, in which she discusses the case of a man named David Floyd, who discovered the concept of “foreskin restoration” through various online forums. Upon turning 18, he purchased a TLC Tugger, a non-surgical medical device designed for foreskin restoration (it uses silicone and tension to stretch the remaining penile skin and promote the growth of new tissue). This is a popular option for men seeking to recreate their foreskin after being circumcised. But it wasn’t enough. Over the years, he tried all sorts of methods to recover his foreskin until last winter, when he decided to undergo surgery, opting for an experimental procedure. He says that when he had sex with his husband after the operation, he cried with emotion.
