Foreskin restoration

Foreskin restoration is primarily accomplished by stretching the residual skin of the penis, but surgical methods also exist.

In the Greco-Roman world, uncircumcised genitals, including the foreskin, were considered a sign of beauty, civility, and masculinity.

This caused conflict within Second Temple Judaism, some Jews viewed circumcision as an essential part of the Jewish identity (1 Maccabees 1:15).

[5] Following the death of Alexander, Judea and the Levant was part of the Seleucid Empire under Antiochus Epiphanes (175-164 BC).

During the Bar Kokhba revolt, there is Rabbinic evidence that records, Jews who had removed their circumcision (meaning that foreskin restoration was still being practiced) they were recircumcised, voluntarily or by force.

[8] Again, during World War II, some European Jews sought foreskin restoration to avoid Nazi persecution.

One method involves a four-stage procedure in which the penile shaft is buried in the scrotum for a period of time.

[17] The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision, as well as provide coverage of the glans.
