Michael Barrymore is moving to my village. He joins Steve Coogan and Simon Cowells mum as locals.

I just learnt that circumcised men can have their foreskin restored, either surgically using skin from their scrotum, or non-surgically using tape and weights...I always thought that was a one-way process  _________________The Official "Saucy Minx" This above all: To Thine Own Self Be True "Red sky at night, Shepherds Delight"..Which is a bit like Shepherds Pie, but with whipped topping instead of mashed potato.

Ask any man on here and they'll tell you that if that's the best they can come up with, it is. Jon

Restoring the foreskin can't make up for the damage which years of underpants-friction does to the unnaturally exposed tip before your first time "in a lady", any more than patching up your hymen would make you a virgin.
In my opinion, circumcising a baby is worse than raping one. It's genital mutilation and nothing less. Just because "lots of people do it" doesn't make it right. We have clean water and soap now - wash your babies, don't cut them. Not unless the doctor tells you there's a good reason anyway.

Some Jews allegedly used the weights process in WW2. JJW009, it isn't just babies. There are also medical grounds for doing it. I had mine done as a teenager and a freind of mine was in his mid 30s. He had put it off for years, living in pain, until he finally spoke to me about it. After the OP, he was beating himself up for leaving it for so long.

I know. Hence why I said: Obviously if you're of a certain age then you can make your own decisions. I just really don't think it's right to do it to a child for no good reason. No one has the right to make that choice for someone else; especially their own child. _________________jonbwfc's law: "In any forum thread someone will, no matter what the subject, mention Firefly."

Chewing ice is an addiction, and it's called pagophagia.

I chew ice but wouldn't consider myself addicted to it. Snorting ice, now that's entirely different.

If one is diving so close to the limits that +/- 1% will make a difference then the error has already been made.
