My GF and I have been together a while and for a while, she's been talking to me about foreskin restoration. She doesn't care for the look (or feel) of cut guys and it's putting a bit of a damper on our sex life (she refuses to perform oral sex on a cut guy) though we do have a decently healthy one. I was circumcised religiously when I was a child as a Jew. I'm not that big of a practicing Jew but Judaism still plays a big part in my life and I'd like to know what the Jewish stance is on restoring foreskin. Foreskin restoration involves stretching the skin (non surgically) basically until it covers the glands to look like a normal penis with a foreskin. I've spoken to some people about it and they said it did make a different in their sex life and I, personally, don't have any mental attachment to being circumcised (I don't really care about it). But I do have a lot of scarring from it and if I restored my foreskin, that would cover a lot of scarring and the discoloration which I do care about.
Aravah, foreskin restoration isn't surgical. There is no cutting or removal.

I wouldn't do it only because of my girlfriend, though she did give me the idea. I do like the look of a foreskin better but I wouldn't really care about being circumcised if it weren't from the scarring. It's very obvious scarring. I also read online that the circumcision that Jews perform today is called Brit Pariah. Not Brit Milah. So, that would mean I had too much foreskin removed anyway so I should be allowed to have at least some of it back, right? And I do have some problems with my erections (not to get personal) and I've read from people who had the same problem that was fixed by restoring their foreskin.
 
Yes.
If Judaism is important to you "foreskin restoration" is a bad thing.

Historicaly/ symbolicaly - circumcision is one of the first identifying features of Jews that anti-Jewish governments have targeted to eliminate. Jews who have turned away from their heritage have in the same fashion sought "restoration" as a symbol of their break with their heritage.

At the time of the Greek invasion of Israel, "foreskin restoration" is an action that was commonly undertaken by the Helenists.
 
level 1 trolls aren't amusing

answer: for those that might actually be curious - yes. Circumcision is the sign of the covenant with G-d. Restoring would be the same as never being in the covenant (and a Jew would know whether that is true or not). The scarring would cut your sensitivity to almost nil and vastly screw up your sex life.

Have fun with that
 
Wait until you have a foreskin and urine sits under a whole day...
