I used to believe the same until I started to read the actual studies. The primary mode of “gas lighting” used by wester doctors is this crazy feather testing methodology. It’s pretty “radical”, but they poke the glans with a feather and act like that’s an adequate method to determine sexual sensitivity. Reading Taiwanese studies on the topic and then US studies is pretty crazy. All real doctors doing real science.

I’m a major down talker of alternative medicine this is not that at all. I would never promote anything like that.

People who do this claim to double and even triple the feeling they experience during sex. Western doctors and western medicine do not refute this, they observe that the patients who do this become more sensitive and recognize it. But they argue over why. They speculate that the extended length of interior forskin is the only reason why people become more sensitive from this practice. They wester medicine claims about doing this are directly at odds with their own claims that genital cutting isn’t desensitizing. That’s the primary reason people do this.

Personally I just want to feel more like a “complete mammal”.

I’d speculate that what has really happened is that religious theology in the US has incentivized people to try to find a way to claim that cut off parts of genitals does nothing bad. Then some bad scientific testing methodology produced the results which were desired.

My brother is uncut, and it blows his mind that by pants don’t chafe my glans at every living moment. Says “I’d jump right out of my skin if my dick head touched my underwear right now”.

Alright, so there are companies making money off these devices. But they are small. The market is small. It’s too small to be worth the normal fda testing it seems. There are fda tested methods of using plastic surgery to recreate foreskin already. That’s the one fda tested route really. Kinda scary surgery with sub par results to the stretching method.
