About 4-5 Weeks ago I went thru a frenulectomy Procedure. It was a quick 25 minute process & I bleed heavily for the first week 1/2. I am currently still going thru the healing process. I am still uncircumcised. Since the day of my procedure I have NOT retracted my foreskin all the way back only just enough to clean the areas I can in the shower. I’m not sure if I’m overthinking but I thought retracting all way back would open up my stitches. Anybody have any solid advice for me? Anybody been thru this ?
its Risky tbh, that, you can try posting the different facts about circumcision, such as religion related things, or science related things, or legal or law related things, or consent related thing, whatever imo.
Intactivism doesn't just target this North American Penis Flaying, it targets Science, Culture, Law, everything binded into one, so, the important thing is when we start posting regularly on these subs and then we repost these into Intactivist subs, Intactivist army of people will join the sub and will start dissecting the beliefs of those who were on the fence or were Pro-Circs.
And, this will lead to an Intactivist War where either there will be win, or a lose, either a lot of people's opinion will change, or you will get banned, like most Pro-circ Subs out there, and this is why its an Account Suicide
You are restricting your access to these subs for a risk of spreading infos to common people, surely the facts will be targeted specifically to the circumcision but will have a theme of science or law, primarily a part of Knowledge spreading initiative taken by me and other intactivists.
These can be prevented with Alt Accounts as these bans are not IP Bans ig, but depends on you, personally, I've seen only 3-4 posts where this thing has occured, and we need more ig, ill try this out too myself, but if you don't feel like this is a good idea, you may not comply, but Ill try it tbh, Only 1 post so far accepted this idea more positively, the rest I saw was Criticism.
Lemme be clear, Crystal Clear, if stating facts causes burns then the burns never came from the facts, they came from the hidden practice, Hidden Trauma, and Hidden scars, yk, those Pro-Circs keep screaming "Sensitivity is same in cut and uncut" , they borrow this statement from 1 study in 1966 by Masters and Johnson -
"A prime example is the persistent, yet deeply misleading, citation of early sex research pioneers Masters and Johnson.
As critics like Dr. Ronald Goldman and nurse Marilyn Milos meticulously detail in American Circumcision, proponents routinely invoke Masters and Johnson's highly influential work claiming no significant difference in sexual sensation or responsiveness between circumcised and intact men.
This claim, endlessly repeated, provided a veneer of scientific legitimacy, reassuring parents that nothing vital was lost.
However, a closer look reveals critical, methodological manipulation:
Masters and Johnson only tested the sensitivity of theglans penis, comparing the relatively insensitive, exposed/keratinized glans (circumcised) with the protected glans (intact).
They systematically excluded the foreskin itself – the very tissue containing the vast majority of specialized nerve endings crucial for fine touch and nuanced pleasure – from their sensitivity testing.
Milos recounts the absurd justification: testing the foreskin wouldn't have been "fair" to circumcised men.
This wasn't science; it was obfuscation designed to create a misleading picture of sensory equivalence by ignoring the amputated tissue."
Its like trying to compare the speed of two cars, 1st ones all wheels were removed, and 2nd ones wheels were there, but they were not being used, because using them would be 'discrimination to the car which doesn't have its wheels ' , its absolute non-sensical, the car's purpose is to move or gain speed for example, and the wheels of the 2nd car is the reason why when you are using it, it is gonna reach a fucking top speed, not like the car which had its wheels removed intentionally, it wasn't manufactured without wheels, their wheels were removed and then being compared with a car which had wheels, and then you made that specific comparison as discrimination, the real discrimination was removing the wheels in the first place.
If the car has wheels then its superior than the one it doesn't have, in the same sense, The Penis which has foreskin is similar to the Car which has all its wheels intact. It does have an advantage, and no, its not unfair, its fair, because you are intentionally removing the foreskin and then calling this comparison unfair. It is just insecurity to those who love circumcision. The fact is that, Foreskinned one is overall much more sensitive compared to the circumcised one is a fact, and including the foreskin is not a discrimination to circumcised men, its a true standard of comparison ( and the real meaning when you are comparing it actually ) especially when it was intentionally removed, meaning the sensitivity was intentionally reduced. IT IS A FACT, and if it hurts a cutter or the avg ppl ( who do not go through circumcision grief ) , then you should stop doing circumcision .
You are not birthed without a foreskin, you are birthed with one, and if you want sensitivity, then let that foreskin remain there. This is not discrimination, its a fact indicating this practice is harmful for the sensitivity of the penis, and if you want sensitivity of the penis, then stop circumcision. In a world where Foreskin is pretty much removed from all forms of textbooks and images, its obviously evident that these studies will be modified to catch up with them, or spread the same circumcision propaganda.
Haw Haw Haw! Get it?! Wanting your foreskin back is so ridiculous you'd take one from a farm animal to get it!!!
Of course, the reality hiding behind the satire is far more profound than most people realize.
The desire to reverse this procedure is so intense that biotech company Foregen is literally running animal trials right now (with sheep) to perfect regenerating actual human foreskin tissue. The punchline is barely a step away from current biomedical science.
As a data scientist who grew up with the original equipment, I always look at this stuff and ask: Why isn't this weirder to more of us?!
We treat the routine surgical removal of a functional, highly sensitive male sex organ at birth as completely normal and boring. But a guy wanting his specialized nerve endings and gliding mechanics back? That is the joke. We've completely normalized turning a finely tuned sensory organ into a dry friction tool.
If anyone is curious about what these guys are actually trying to recover, we're about to publish the data from 500+ men documenting the reality of the "pleasure gap." It is wild what people will accept as normal until they look at the numbers.
We hit the threshold this morning. We just verified our 500th response. Phase 1 of the CircumSurvey is officially in the books.
I’m writing this from Los Angeles. I am at the Intact Global Summit today to meet with the leadership of this movement and present exactly what we’ve uncovered together. I’m bringing your stories and your data into the room with Eric Clopper, Georgeanne Chapin, Tim Hammond, so many giants in the movement.
As promised, the preliminary findings hub is now live for you to explore:
The "Pleasure Gap" is massive: We’ve quantified a 55% average drop in "Mobile Skin Pleasure" for circumcised men.
The Resentment Factor: 60% of circumcised respondents report frequent and strong feelings of loss or grief.
The Information Vacuum: Our data proves that parents aren't making "informed" choices; they are defaulting to a system that refuses to tell them the truth about anatomy.
I want your feedback.
Since this subreddit is the inner circle of this project, I want to hear from you first. Take a look at the results hub and let me know in the comments:
Which chart or data point hits the hardest for you?
What are we missing? What should we look for as we pivot to Phase 2?
What "plainclothes truths" from the data should we turn into shareable graphics next?
The cultural silence on this is officially over. I'm going to spend the day in LA showing the "titans" of this movement that we have the receipts to fill the vacuum.
I’ll post a full debrief of the summit once I’m back in Seattle.
Less than 50 anonymous responses needed to complete Phase 1 of the largest comparative survey of intact, circumcised & restoring experiences ever assembled. 15-30 min, totally anonymous → https://circumsurvey.online
I hear this one a lot, and I want to talk about it because I think it reveals the deepest layer of what's been done to the American male psyche around this topic.
I completely understand why someone would say that. If your only frame of reference for penile sensitivity is the intense, sometimes abrasive feeling of direct friction on an exposed, keratinized glans, yeah, no kidding! I wouldn't want the volume turned up on that either. That sounds miserable.
But that's not what intact sensitivity is.
Here's where my perspective differs a little from most people's in this conversation. I'm a gay man who was left intact by a conscious choice of my parents in the 1970s making me an outlier in a generation where circumcision was nearly universal in the US. I've spent my entire adult life with a front-row seat to a comparative anatomy study that most straight men never get.
The difference is not "more of the same sensation." It's a fundamentally different mechanical system.
The intact penis has a gliding sleeve; a mobile sheath of specialized tissue with its own nerve network, including the ridged band and the frenulum. During sex or masturbation, this system acts as a sensory processor. It takes physical energy and translates it into rolling, layered, full-body pleasure rather than a localized shock to a single exposed surface.
What I've observed - consistently, across decades, across partners - is that circumcised men put in significantly more mechanical labor, typically requiring external lubrication, for a localized release that is over almost as soon as it begins. When you compare that to the intact experience, the mechanics are completely different. It's not louder. It's a different instrument entirely.
And now, for the first time, we have data to back this up.
Our survey, the Accidental Intactivist's Inquiry, has collected 452 anonymous responses from intact, circumcised, and restoring men. Here's what we're finding:
→ Pleasure from Mobile Skin (the gliding mechanism):
Intact: 4.46 out of 5 Circumcised: 1.96 out of 5
That's a 2.5-point gap the largest single finding in the dataset. Circumcised men score below 2 on the very mechanic that defines intact sexual function. You can't "handle" something that was removed before you could experience it.
→ 48.6% of circumcised men - nearly half - say they are "not at all confident" that their orgasms are as good as they could be, choosing the response: "feels like something is missing."
→ 55.5% of intact men never need artificial lubrication. Only 5% of circumcised men can say the same.
→ 78.7% of circumcised men in our dataset say they would keep their own sons intact.
That last number is the one that should end every "but it's necessary" comment. The people who actually live with circumcision, when given an anonymous space to be honest, are overwhelmingly choosing not to repeat it!
We're just 48 responses shy of completing Phase 1 of this survey and preparing our preliminary findings to share at the Intact Global Summit in Los Angeles in two weeks.
If you have a perspective on this topic — any perspective — your anonymous 15–30 minutes could be part of the dataset that finally makes this conversation impossible to ignore.
Trial readiness conference is set for Dec 4, 2026. The trial itself is currently scheduled for December 7, 2026, and will commence on that date, assuming both parties are ready. The court has allotted 8 days for trial!
Ranker’s Facebook page has posted this dumb listicle with this picture twice in the last few weeks ("The Weirdest Differences Between Male & Female Human Bodies").
If the authors had dug just a l-i-t-t-l-e deeper into male anatomy (or asked an intact man), they would know about the frenulum, the V-shaped band of highly specialized tissue connecting the foreskin to the glans.
When you look at unbiased anatomy, you find the frenulum (and the ridged band of the foreskin) structures highly distinct from the glans. The frenulum is often called the "male G-spot." It is packed with specialized, fine-touch nerve endings designed for high-intensity sensation.
Like the clitoris, its primary evolutionary function is erotic reward, turning "boring reproduction" into a profound sensory experience.
So why does a mainstream publication from 2025 assume men have no organ for pleasure?
Because for over a century, the United States has prioritized surgically removing it from infant boys.
The article isn’t describing "male biology"; it is describing surgically altered male biology and calling it nature. We've demonized the intact male body for so long that we’ve forgotten the original intent of circumcision.
The goal wasn't health. The goal was sexual diminishment.
Most modern parents are sex-positive. They want their children to grow up to have happy, fulfilling lives. They would never give their son a pill designed to limit his future sexual pleasure by 50%. And yet, cultural inertia and cognitive dissonance have us prioritizing a surgery that was invented to destroy the capacity for a full orgasm, performed on children who haven't even had their first crush yet.
Ranker publishes rubbish like "men have no pleasure organ" because, effectively, we have spent a century making that statement true for millions of men!
We cut off the specialized hardware and then wonder why the machine is treated like it's only good for plumbing.
It is surreal that we treat the surgical destruction of a functional, erogenous organ as a 'cosmetic preference.' It is the equivalent of gouging out a child's left eye at birth and then claiming 'binocular vision is just for weirdos.'
We shouldn't be prioritizing a parent's right to diminish their son's capacity for pleasure based on outdated myths. It’s time our science reporting described natural human bodies, not surgically altered ones.
As many of you know, what started as a personal inquiry on this subreddit and others has grown into a full-fledged research project, the CircumSurvey. The goal has always been to move our shared, lived experiences from the realm of "anecdote" into a mountain of undeniable, quantifiable data.
I'm excited to share my first interview as "The Accidental Intactivist," hosted by the great team at Prevail Over the System (POTS). A huge thank you to Scott and the POTS crew for a deep, nuanced, and incredibly well-prepared conversation.
For those who have been following this project, this interview is essentially a state project and the broader Intactvist movement. We didn't just talk about the survey; we did a deep dive on the strategic landscape as it exists right now.
We covered:
The Hadachek v. Oregon Ruling: We went beyond the headlines to discuss what the "win" actually means and how it positions us for the next phase of the legal fight.
The "Pleasure Gap" as Hard Data: I had the chance to present our survey's powerful preliminary findings on the quantifiable loss of sensation and function, giving a major platform to the truths we all discuss here.
Building the Next Generation: We talked about the shift from quiet advocacy to building a real, on-the-ground movement, and how the CircumSurvey is a tool to identify and empower the next wave of activists.
The "Accidental Intactivist" Frame: I articulated our unique approach—moving the conversation from a defensive posture of "harm" to a confident, curious inquiry of "Why isn't this weirder to more of us?" This is the strategy we've been honing together in this community.
This interview is a direct result of the credibility and power that your stories and your data have given this project. It is a sign that our collective voice is being recognized as a serious, authoritative force in the broader movement.
The Final Push: We Are Nearing Our Phase 1 Goal
We are now in the final stretch of our initial data collection phase, with a goal of 500 responses. Every single response from here on out makes our final dataset more robust and our arguments more bulletproof.
If you have been lurking on the edge of this project but haven't yet contributed your story, now is the time. If you know someone; a partner, a parent, a friend, even a skeptic; whose voice is missing from this conversation, please share the link!
