    I’m restoring my foreskin right now and so thinking about this reminds me of people who take the tomato off a hamburger and then add ketchup…

      Tomato and Ketchup are not equivalent. Ketchup tastes nothing like a tomato. Nobody would stick a French fry in a cup of tomato puree.

          Not marinara, just pureed tomato. OP said it was dumb to remove a tomato, yet use ketchup, so the comparison is raw tomato vs. ketchup. Tomato puree is the same as raw tomato, marinara is not.

          Marinara on a burger, especially one seasoned like a meatball, is delicious. Add a slice of mozzarella, and you have a Cheeseburger Marinara. Just a different configuration of a Meatball Sub (one of my favorites). Now I know what we’re having for dinner, with fries. Thanks for the inspiration.

          Yup! And I highly recommend it. Just from the small gains I’ve made and the difference it makes, I’ve become pretty much completely anti-circumcision. Definitely completely for babies.

            Arent irreplaceable glands removed during a circumcision? Might be able to lengthen skin to form something like foreskin but isn’t it impossible to regrow the glans?

              Glans is the tip/head/non-skin end of your penis and it should not have been touched during circumcision. Maybe by mistake something happened.

              But there are body tissue structures that are removed and lost forever from circumcision. Namely the “rigid band” and part or all of the “frenulum”

              So a restored foreskin is not quite the same. But people who get circumcised as an adult and then later restore say that restored is about 70-80% as good. And far better than nothing!
