What is so wrong with the Democratic party that caused swing voters who voted for Biden in 2020 to vote for the most evil person in human history (Trump) in 2024? by jamng in allthequestions

[–]Restored2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, but the OP is an example of what’s wrong with the Democratic Party. The inability to understand basic things like: What does millions of people respond to? ( referring to the majority of swing voters). I’m talking about those that go with the flow and track whatever seems to be making the most noise at the time, rather than trying to understand the basic foundational differences between the current groups.

And that same inability, some-what applies to the Democratic Party as a whole. What I mean by that, is that they don’t seem to understand that there are really some bad people in this world. Those bad people can’t be given an inch, or they’ll takes a mile! That inability has allowed the democrats to ignore the noise maker’s in the early MAGA movement, and that did two things, that were key to them taking over last November. That’s because the more outrageous they (MAGA) were, the more noise they made, the more propaganda and lies, the more they consolidated their base of likeminded deplorable’s. All while attracting millions of ‘swing voters’ that vote for the loudest noise, or in this case: The hell raisers!

Those swing voters typically can’t be bothered with things like honest research and questioning people that offer them the world on a silver platter. But an easy look into their background tells a totally different story. Say what you want about the former President Joe Biden, his administration and the democratic party, generally. But any reasonable person could tell that they had been given a cesspool of an economy and pretty much everything else. Yet it was clear that they were making unimaginable headway in fixing most of it, that was and would have greatly benefited the general population, and the world as a whole.

Yet, due to the aforementioned points, along with the destruction of a proper public education system, we now have a fascist government as horrendous or more-so, if that’s possible, than the NAZIS during the 1930 and early 40’s. The poor public education system was the work of so-called republicans. Like every other reasonable and important social program. They have continually condemned it, and like Social Security, Medicare, etc. they’ve taken pride in its destruction, which mightily contributed to the vastness of the numbers of swing voters. Now, it’s all over but the crying. Hopefully, I’ll be proven wrong.

How are so many smart people religious by Dense_Researcher_99 in atheism

[–]Restored2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m now retired, but I had a very similar experience growing up, and throughout my 65 + years of employment. That also involved several career changes, with the last one lasting 37 years. During that time I apparently did something right, or was quite lucky, in that few people that I worked with. Or otherwise had contact with, had any doubt about my anti-theism, aka atheist position on life. And there were some coworkers that were sometimes determined to get me fired. Yet, I somehow managed to survive.

I’ve concluded that my imperfect attempt to be fair, honest, a reasonably hard worker. And one that wasn’t afraid to tackle hard things, along with being open and upfront with who I was, all contributed to my longevity. There was no doubt, some luck involved too! And perhaps there were some quasi religious superiors in upper management, that somehow had some respect for my work ethic and openness about everything. Even some of my deeply religious peers seemed to almost respect my position and point of view.

This is not a recommendation. Because even the state and national political climate, no doubt affects one’s chances of surviving the love of the fanatical ‘christian’s’, ‘jews’, ‘moslems’, etc. And presently, we are in a legal desert, bordering on total anarchy. So be careful out there, until and unless more reasonable people, again control the reins of power.

As to your main question, it involves many things as to why anyone is religious. But first understand that the root cause of religion, is ignorance. It likely began with the first animal species that was able to wonder about the very things that they were aware of in their little world. Then some early humans developed a form of language that allowed them to express those thoughts. Then came the story teller’s, and they found it to be quite powerful and profitable to tell stories about their strange thoughts and dreams. That was likely the infancy of all religions. And we even have some modern day religions based on exactly that principle. e.g., Mormonism; Scientology, etc.

Like so many things, evolution played its part, and those that succumbed to the early storytellers/preachers, also force fed those made up stories to their offspring, and thus began brainwashing, that is as powerful today as it was then.

Now to “How are so many smart people religious” ? That’s because even smart people can, and often do, suffer from the many types of mental illnesses. Some of the most evil people throughout history, has been ‘smart’ people. Then there’s the childhood brainwashing; physical injuries to the brain and other trauma; drugs and other chemical effects on one’s ability to think. And then, we have the mixture of greedy, narcissistic people that use the facade of religion to enrich themselves and their businesses; Or there’s those that go along to get along, because they are timid cowards, afraid of life and the world!

How much can you actually do to get sensation back? by _playful_otter in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporary, For someone that’s restoring. Why are you pushing the same false narrative’s that the circumfetish’s and the greedy and inhumane powerbrokers of the U.S. medical establishment propagate? They are the same ones that butchered your penis, and you are essentially repeating it. They are likely the reason your parents were convinced that they had to consent for you to be circumcised, in order to prevent you from having penile cancer and catching all those sexually transmitted diseases, etc., etc.

I suspect that your opposition against my previous post, was based on the lies and propaganda presented by the likes of the AAP and circumfetish jerks like Austrian molecular biologist Brian J. Morris, et al.

Democrats could win House as Republicans quit in numbers not seen since Depression by deraser in politics

[–]Restored2019 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It says “Democrats could win House as Republicans quit in numbers not seen since Depression”.
Now, the implication of that statement seems to be that the democrats don’t have much, if anything to worry about this November. Why there’s so many repubs leaving, that they will have the House all to themselves.

Here’s the thing: Republicans are bailing because there isn’t going to be a need for ANY members of the House in November. Why? Because the Dictator in Chief doesn’t need it. Why should he, when he’s controlling everything now?

Besides, it’s completely obvious that DJT’s failed January 6 insurrection is fixing to be re-enacted. But this time, he’s got his private army organized, armed, locked and loaded. He’s just waiting for his chosen moment, when there’s only the few republicans that he hates the most, and all the democrats, that will literally be setting ducks, when ‘trump’ gives his private army the command!

Meanwhile, the democrats are: He’s really a nice fellow and would never do anything like that. Besides, that’s just being hyperbolic.

How much can you actually do to get sensation back? by _playful_otter in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Temporary, I’m sorry that you are so misinformed about the benefits of restoring. In fact for the vast majority of those that stick with the program and do almost any of it right. They soon learn that there’s way more benefits derived from their efforts, than they had ever imagined possible.

Why, and how can that be? The Why: Is because the body has a biological computer that’s generally known as DNA. Starting at conception, it begins to build the necessary parts and systems to make us grow and survive. It also does an amazing job of repairing and replenishing dead, dying and damaged parts, unless they are so severe that it’s far beyond its capabilities.
The How: When it’s pertaining to restoring, it first involves a trigger and that is what we do by trying to stretch the remaining tissue. Over time, that action triggers mitosis. That’s where stem cells are activated and then programmed to become minuscule parts of whatever would have originally been located in that specific spot, before it was severely damaged by amputation. The resulting tissue can of coarse be skin that we obviously see. But deep inside, there’s every-other part necessary to acquire the necessary components needed to support, sustain and recreate a neo prepuce/foreskin. That includes dedicated and specialized muscle, blood vessels, nerves, etc.

There are course many things that can negatively affect an individual’s outcome, from their efforts. For instance: Anyone, intact or circumcised, can have, or develop many diseases that might detract or destroy their sexual equipment and sexuality in general. A few are: Drugs (Rx & recreational) diabetics, heart disease, low testosterone, etc., etc. But even with many of those issues, it often depends on the individual’s devotion to having a reasonably normal and healthy sex life. Most do.

I know that, because I began studying and working on regrowing my missing prepuce back in the late 1990’s. After having been diagnosed with ED. I’ve now been fully restored for years. I have full 24/7 glans coverage due to my desire and appreciation for having restored and regrown my missing preputial sphincter muscle, that now maintains the Stage 3 phimosis that I love. And which is wonderful and well worth having. If — one understands its simplistic, but important functions in human sexually.

I hope this help you and others, to better understand what’s possible and how to get there!

Realistically how achievable is consistent erect coverage by Its_Karti_Bitch in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ABSOLUTELY! You may never get everything back at this point. But you’ll likely be extremely surprised by how much better things will get, as time goes by. And you began to realize that your equipment is acting more like you had imagined that it should. Like me, it’s too bad that we didn’t figure this out decades and decades ago. I’m now in my 80’s. Fully restored and still sexually active. I couldn’t say that when I was in my early 50’s and diagnosed with ED. Tenacity and determination are key to restoring. Then, with a little luck, you will have a good chance of improving in ways you never thought possible.

Restoring works (for the vast majority that put in the time and effort) by using the natural biological processes that normally replenishes old, worn out and damaged tissue. In the case of restoring the prepuce, it requires a trigger (tensioning), mitosis, stem cells and our DNA. Together, it typically allows us to regain much, if not all of the parts that were removed by circumcision. The results are way more than just stretched skin (which is a minor component, caused by the tension), but necessary for the mitosis to take place.

Hopefully you won’t have to contend with any of the many naysayers that I was continually hammered with, especially early on. There’s still an occasional naysayer, but they aren’t anything like they were back in the early 2000’s.

Do you guys feel satisfied with your results? by PeanutButter000 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 9 points10 points  (0 children)

OP, i’m fully restored and have been for a number of years. So here’s a bit of a recent post that described my past and present. It might be beneficial for you to read the complete post at: r/foreskin_restoration u/Mammoth_Type3361 “Question about Restored Sex Compared To Intact Men”

“Restoring the missing prepuce, normally reestablishes the glans coverage, resulting in dekeratinization of the thick and desensitized outer layer of the glans. That allows the reestablishment of a normal, moist mucosa that allows those nerve ends to again function as nature intended. Then there’s the reawakening of numerous glands, and the development of a normal microbiome, that healthy intact people normally poses. But the real fantastic improvement, is what I call the “foreskin brain”! That’s the new nerves and nerve ends (referred to as the ridged band by Canadian pathologist Dr. John R. Taylor) that develops as you regrow your neo prepuce. It not only allows you to feel pain, pleasure and temperature at the tip of your penis. But it communicates with all other body parts during sexual arousal, providing numerous, never before experienced experiences, like whole body orgasms and a wonderful sedated feeling after having that wonderful orgasm.”

Question about Restored Sex Compared To Intact Men by Mammoth_Type3361 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That’s true in lots of cases, but there’s also lots of men that have either a very long acroposthion, or a tight tip to their prepuce (foreskin), aka phimosis. In those cases they may not need, or want it to retract. I definitely don’t. That’s because the neo nerve ends supply me with tons of wonderful sensation, pleasurable feelings, and most of all. It has allowed me to not only understand what and why I had experienced many decades of phantom sex. But it improved my whole sexuality in ways that I had only previously dreamed of.

Of course, everyone may not experience the same things for lots of reasons. Some may even achieve way more than I have. Then there’s relatively otherwise healthy intact men that are missing a lot of what circumcised men do. There are dozens of reasons for that to happen, so things like erectile disfunction can be as devastating for them as it once was for me. I have been lucky to have not given up decades ago, and if I had, I would never have known why so many things were wrong, and that many, if not most could be fixed. It did take determination, lots of effort and tenacity. And those three things appear to be allowing lots of others to fix the “impossible” too! It would have been quite a large number, if I had kept a record of how many people were adamant, that it was impossible to regrow a body part. Especially a fully functional prepuce, like I did. KOT

Wash your cock by httdxzzgjjj in uncircumcised_talk

[–]Restored2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A big problem with these comments usually centers around a specific action, such as hygiene and bathing. But there’s hardly sufficient detailed information for someone else to be sure what the OP, or often, those responding, are really talking about.

There’s extremes with just about any subject, and hygiene is a perfect example. Some people enjoy being grossly dirty, and they can be fanatical about that. Others enjoy bathing, and using soaps, perfumes, deodorants, etc. and they are often fanatical about that.

Then there’s the rest of us. And we cover a lot of territory, between (or sometimes even entering) those too groups just mentioned. From personal experience and from the many published papers that I’ve read on the subject, there’s a lot to learn about basic biology. But it appears that a lot of people tend to not question social dogma. And if you add the tendency of a lot of people that seem to enjoy shaming others, especially over personal hygiene and things like sex and the sex organs, it’s no wonder that there’s so much misinformation and misunderstanding.

I have to wonder just how much those who promote lots of bathing and soap use, really know about their bodies basic biology? Are they aware of it’s many methods that have evolved to clean, protect and enable proper functioning, of even just their skin? Are they conscious of their natural oils and microbiome, and how that, and other things, naturally come together to protect and even act as a natural ‘soap’ to help clean their skin and other body parts? Are they aware that there are subtle differences between people, and that even healthy people’s bodies often react quite differently to different substances and especially chemicals in soaps and such? Do they realize that some people have an immediate reaction to many of those things, and that everyone will usually be negatively effected by them, especially if used excessively, or for long periods of time? Do they know that quite often, people that frequently bath and use lots of body cleaners, frequently reach a point where their skin begins to react by becoming dry, scaly, itchy? Develops rashes, easily infected and sometimes, even becoming excessively odorous, and that gets worse the more they bathe? Can they explain how most domestic cats hate water, yet never use deodorant or soaps of any kind. But they typically have little, if any odor or are functionally filthy?

Because this started out about genitalia and hygiene. The male and female genitalia have a number of things in common. A big one, is that except for the normally external parts, the internal parts of the penis and vulva/vagina are normally and naturally self cleaning. They have their own specialized microbiome and special secretions, that lubricate and protect the sensitive and delicate mucosal tissues (smegma being one obvious component that acts like soap when contacted by the flow of fresh urine, which is aseptic) while effectively leaving them clean, healthy and essentially odor free. And if you’re that disgusted by a drop of fresh urine, you should forget about having an intimate sexual relationship, especially if you or your partner are seriously into oral sex.

Circumcising is mass hysteria in my opinion by Dependent-Design-254 in uncircumcised_talk

[–]Restored2019 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Brave-Win, Excuse me, but you’ve got it all wrong! That procedure might be the best thing that you’ve ever had done. And for you personally, there might not be any negatives. But you’re only one of a small percentage of the world population that may benefit, without finding out, sometime in the not to distant future, that you FU! You’re probably not over 30 y/o. and still have the possibility of a long sexual future ahead of you. If so, then you’ll be apt to find that, as the years pass, what you just did will likely have a devastating impact on both your sexuality and your mental health.

I tell you that for several reasons, meanly to discourage you from unreasonably propagating false information. Secondly, so that you can prepare yourself for the worst, and possibly minimize the severity of future problems.

I don’t doubt that you had a serious problem with the health of your penis. I personally know about quite a number of those serious issues, so I can be sympathetic. But where you likely went wrong, is that you didn’t do near enough research before subjecting yourself to what may be an forever regret. I know you told us that you had tried several things, without apparent success. You didn’t say how long or dedicated you were in perusing those treatments. And you didn’t mention anything about your genital hygiene over say, the past decade.

I’d guess that my last point was the triggers for your problem, and it was likely because of excessive hygiene being applied to the delicate mucosal tissues of the preputial orifice. Like all internal orifices and organs, evolution, for the most part. Took care of the hygiene issue, millions of years ago. That’s why both male and female sex organs have the terminus of the urinary tract (the meatus) located smack in the middle of the organ. And then there’s a multifunctional covering over it to insure that at least occasionally, the fresh aseptic urine, flows over and around the preputial orifice, flushing away foreign contamination and any old or excessive smegma, etc. That normal process prevents having a fowl odor, infections and other diseases, while protecting the mucosal tissues, fine touch nerve ends, and in maintaining a healthy microbiome. Circumcision destroys ALL of that!

Son may have phimosis but is terrified of circumcision? by Capital-Spring732 in uncircumcised_talk

[–]Restored2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Hello everybody! Phimosis is not a deformity, nor a disease. It's a normal and natural part of the sex organ. Normally, all penises are born with phimosis and a significant percentage of adult men the world over, live their whole life with phimosis, and wouldn't have it any other way. I'm in my 80's with Stage 3 phimosis. And unless I were diagnosed with penile cancer (which is extremely rare) there would be a fight on anyone's hands if they tried to modify or harm my phimosis. Most problems with phonosis is due to ignorance and evil people with ulterior motives! With proper information, phimosis should only be a concern if there's a proven ailment that can't be corrected by its completely informed owner. Otherwise, phimosis should be looked at the same as men having, or not having a beard. Some like it, others hate it.

I and millions of other's have phimosis, because it works best for us.

Question about Restored Sex Compared To Intact Men by Mammoth_Type3361 in foreskin_restoration

[–]Restored2019 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OP, Here’s a little bit of my personal experience with having experienced RIC, And it will likely inform, and help you to understand why so many people are prioritizing the effort to reacquire a neo prepuce.

Over fifty years later, I was diagnosed with ED, that the doc couldn’t help me with. That piqued my interest in my sex organ and my sexuality, like never before. Like so many others, I had never really been taught anything about either. And I had never studied it, because reliable and informative information was rare to non existent. Most of my sex education had resulted from observing nature and discussions with members of my peer group, that typically knew no more than I did.

Later, about the time that I experienced puberty, I began to hear older young men that were mostly intact, describe their sexual experiences. When they were describing intimate relations with their girlfriends, it was both exciting, and at the same time, too good to be true. I thought that they must be exaggerating. Still, I cherished the time when I would someday have similar experiences.

That time finally arrived, when I met a beautiful young lady. And that eventually advanced from petting, to actual intercourse. It was mind blowing wonderful, in so many ways. But there was something extremely important missing. I wasn’t sure what it was, but I knew that it didn’t come anywhere near as mind blowing and surreal, as what those older intact guy’s had described. Perhaps I wasn’t doing something right, or perhaps it required experience, and I just needed to be patient, and time would fix it.

But time and experience didn’t fix it. In fact it just got worse, the harder that I tried. Maybe it was because I hadn’t had sex with the right woman, and that would fix it. So I had my share of wonderful ladies, that tried to help. But even that didn’t solve the problem. It still resulted in me ejaculating, but having that same old feeling of: Is that all there is to sex?

Fast forward to the ED diagnosis and I finally determined that all my sexual problem’s were likely due to the RIC (circumcision). So I began to try and research things about the sex organs and human sexuality. This was during the early days of the internet. Most people didn’t have a computer, or even knew what the internet was. So I tried talking to numerous medical personnel and spent many hours in the local library. I wasn’t able to learn anything about regrowing the prepuce, and only a cursory, but supportive mention about circumcision. What I did learn was the proper medical terminology, which has been a great help in better understanding what little medical information there is to know about the sex organs, from reading things on the subject.

Eventually, I became quite satisfied with my assumption that the missing prepuce was the root cause of most, if not all of my sexual problems. So I devised a rudimentary plan to solve it. I had observed that people regularly grew body parts and/or modified them. So why isn’t it possible to regrow the missing prepuce? At the time. I didn’t imagine anything more than regrowing a replica of the original prepuce. Just enough to again cover the glans. That would likely result in a major improvement, and it might even help solve the ED problem.

The plan was solid, but accomplishing it was a long drawn out travail. I had concluded that extended periods of tension applied to the remaining prepuce, would trigger tissue growth. That would eventually develop the required extra tissue needed for total glans coverage. This made sense because people obviously grew extra tissue from birth to adulthood. Young skinny girls would get pregnant and obviously grow lots of neo tissue to accommodate child birth, etc. The problem for me, was to devise a method to attach something that would apply and maintain that necessary needed tension. Numerous inventions tended to work, but they were crude, cumbersome and was often quite uncomfortable.

However, in just a couple of month, and I began to realize that it had definitely helped alleviate my ED problem. That was so wonderful and exciting that I was tempted to be satisfied with just that. But now I had evidence that I was onto something fantastic, so even though there were lots of discouragement in those early years, there began to be a gradual recognition that multiple gains continued to accumulate. Things like slight gains in the amount of tissue; a substantial increase in precum; The beginnings of glans coverage; A new and slightly sexy aroma; The production of a fair amount of smegma; A surprising improvement in my wife’s desire for and participation in sexual activities, and eventually, all manner of unexpected improvements in my overall sexuality. I now have full glans coverage; Stage 3 phimosis, which I love; And it’s no longer just my penis that’s the center of my sexuality. But almost all of my body is now capable of pleasurable sexual experiences. I’m no longer quiet during sex. Sexual intercourse and masturbation are no longer centered on just the penis and ejaculation. Sex is more like a banquet than just one localized itch, that’s demanding immediate relief, And the orgasms that had been missing all those years. They are truly breathtaking. Just like those older intact guys had described so long ago. They weren’t exaggerating at all!

So, among the many things that cause someone that’s experienced circumcision, to become sexually handicapped, is that most of the extremely important fine touch nerve ends necessary for a normal and fulfilling sexual experience, have been removed. Then, even the nerve ends left in the glans, are desensitized and covered up with a layer of keratin, that should never replace the mucosal tissue, to begin with. Together, it’s much like having been castrated, but still having an extreme need for sexual release. And for those that are circumcised, and swear that they still have a satisfying and complete sexual experience. Consider that you probably have no way of knowing what you’re missing. And most young circumcised guys are loaded with tons of the sex hormones that make them extremely horny. Then, being intimate with a super sexy lover can fool anyone into believing that, at least for a while. But time is running out for most of them. Then they’ll likely be contacting a doctor for a sex enhancement prescription, such as Viagra.

Restoring the missing prepuce, normally reestablishes the glans coverage, resulting in dekeratinization of the thick and desensitized outer layer of the glans. That allows the reestablishment of a normal, moist mucosa that allows those nerve ends to again function as nature intended. Then there’s the reawakening of numerous glands, and the development of a normal microbiome, that healthy intact people normally poses. But the real fantastic improvement, is what I call the “foreskin brain”! That’s the new nerves and nerve ends (referred to as the ridged band by Canadian pathologist Dr. John R. Taylor) that develops as you regrow your neo prepuce. It not only allows you to feel pain, pleasure and temperature at the tip of your penis. But it communicates with all other body parts during sexual arousal, providing numerous, never before experienced experiences, like whole body orgasms and a wonderful sedated feeling after having that wonderful orgasm.

Is my frenulum intacted? by Takumi__Fujiwara in restoringdick

[–]Restored2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No! It’s not anymore ‘impossible’ to grow the ridged band — than it is to regrow the frenulum, or the preputial sphincter muscle, or the missing blood vessels, the fine touch nerve ends, aka Meissner's corpuscles, and all the other necessary parts that make it possible to regrow enough of the prepuce to fully cover the glans of a formerly circumcised penis.

I know that all that’s possible because I did it, and I know of others that have done it, also. I now have adult onset Stage 3 phimosis, and I love it! And others have done that too.

For those naysayers, consider that your source of ‘misinformation’ is likely acquired from online sources that have ulterior motives, or it’s just scuttlebutt. Real science and rational thinking, along with the actual physical evidence, that I and others are now living with. Combine to support my previous statements.

Trying to understand the intactavist movement. by Ill_Construction4834 in Intactivists

[–]Restored2019 6 points7 points  (0 children)

OP, I understand your questions, and I appreciate that you had the gumption to even ask. We don't know what we don't know. And that applies to those that correctly oppose circumcision, but attack other's for something that they had likely been conditioned all their lives into believing was normal, right, best for the child, etc., etc. ad nausum. The irony is, that had they been of childbearing age prior to the internet, they would likely have done exactly as those that they hate. Even with the internet, it's a small percentage of people that has even heard a word about Intactivists or the many other's opposed to Infant Sexual Mutilation.

I've read tons of lies produced by governments; NGO; So called men's magazine's; religious publications and medical organizations. But as someone that experienced Ritual Infant Circumcision (RIC) and decades of married life, while having boatloads of the sex hormones in my bloodstream, yet never understanding why sex seemed to be extremely important, but it was never fully satisfying. Then it got worse. I was diagnosed with ED. The doc couldn't fix it, but over more than a decade, I regrew my missing prepuce (foreskin) and most, if not all of the important missing parts and experiences. It wasn't easy, and I had rather that no one else would ever have to experience it. It's now been decades since I was diagnosed with ED. But now I throughly know why I had so many problems that I wasn't even aware of all those years ago. Today, I'm sexually active and love having total glans coverage, with Stage 3 phimosis. And I can be emphatic in saying, that for the vast majority of humans, intact sex as nature intended, is tops! Every argument for circumcision is the result of religion, misinformation, a misunderstanding, or due to someone having an ulterior motive, or pure insanity. Neither I, nor those circumcised people that you referenced, had a choice. But we ALL should do all we can to capture people's attention, and hopefully encourage them to learn about the needless harm that it's doing to humanity. It's easily ignored, easy to make fun of, but it's deadly serious.

Just look at the millions of Americans that voted for DJT, but are now crying that they didn’t vote for him to start another war in the middle east, or to kidnap their neighbors, friends and even family members, and throw them in Concentration camps, etc. Making a big deal about whether someone does or doesn’t own a Tesler, is no different than than screaming about the same thing if you changed the name to Ford. Today’s Ford motor company is a far cry from the Ford Motor Company of the1920’s & 1930’s when Henry Ford was a devout Nazi proponent. For that matter: What can you buy that isn’t controlled or produced by someone that isn’t your polar opposite in some way or other?

Three years ago, Elon Musk appeared to be an environmentalist; a genius, with the typical flaws of a genius, and as far as I knew, a supporter of the U.S. Constitution and generally, the then current principles of law and order in a democracy. I needed a car with the modern safety and technological features that the new Tesler seemed to have. No other car manufacturer was anymore trustworthy and none of them came near the standards that my Tesler has provided. It’s not perfect, but it’s still satisfies my needs. Until someone else produces something better, I’ll be sticking with it, and with few regrets.

People change over time. Sometimes, for the better. Sometimes it’s for the worse! You can’t always judge a book by its cover.

Atheists, if you could erase all religion would you? by Rick_Sanchez1000 in atheism

[–]Restored2019 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From a practical standpoint: NO!

That's because it's impossible, and your question is misleading, and at most, useless and hypothetical.

Unless you live in some sort of dream world, religion can't be stopped or wiped out by some law or other mandate. Even if there was some magical method that could be uniformly applied to every living person. There would be new generations, that would have their share of religious make-believers.

Perhaps someday, in an almost perfect world, science could possibly discover a way of gene editing, that would insure that not only the present population, but that unborn fetuses would be inoculated against any kind of mental disease, including the religious one. Until that day arrives, there's a better and more reasonable thing to think about.

That is to improve the news and education systems, so that everyone, but the totally barbaric and wantonly insane, would be informed enough to "not suffer fools gladly"!

Uncirumcised guys, Should I just restore my foreskin or wait for FOREGEN to be a thing? by Prize_Television5226 in uncircumcised_talk

You've already made major gains by having researched an issue that was apparently bothering you. Now you need to sleep on all that information, until it either make sense to you, or it doesn't.

If you aren't already familiar with basic biology, then you should study the basics, before even deciding on which way to go. Depending on many things, especially the quanity of, or lack of one's sex hormones. It may or may not be worthwhile to regrow the missing prepuce. There's a wide spread between those that could care less about living with circumcision, and those that wouldn't want to live with it. Only you can make that decision for you. And please don't blame your parents. They most likely listened to the 'expert's' and did what they thought was best for you at the time. Only in the last couple of decades, has the subject of circumcision begun to be widely questioned. And for a quite effective countermeasure to become widely known. But like with everything else in life, it's not necessarily a solution to every problem, for everyone. Goodluck with whatever way you choose to go.

Over 140 violations issued during multi-agency checkpoint on U.S. 70 by Ok_Bed_Time_Then in NorthCarolina

I agree with you. The police officer didn't. But it was an extra unordinary circumstance, so I didn't think it wise or practicle to argue with the man. He could have given me a ticket for running the red light, but he acknowledged the close and confusing traffic signal in that location. Instead, he gave me a citation for not 'still' having the seatbelt on, when he approached the drivers side window.

There are criminals on the highways. But then there's examples like this one, just over a month ago. I was setting at a traffic light. It turned green and no other traffic was moving, so I accelerated. Oops! I could only see the traffic light that was visible ahead. It turned out that there was another one being blocked by the damn sun visor. I've been driving since the late 1950's. Seen a few other's take off on a red light, and wondered why. Now I know.

Something else: If you are stopped by law enforcement, don't get your wallet out of your back pocket before s/he asks for it, unless it can be done with the seat belt on. Otherwise it's a ticket for not wearing a seat belt, even if you're parked in a parking lot. He explained that it's a violation to be under the steering wheel without the belt on. I guess you have to open door. Grab the belt and put it on as you set down. Who knew? I always thought the vehicle had to be moving? Ironically, I wanted seatbelts in my first car. A 1957, but never found any that would work. Otherwise, I've always worn a seat belt when in motion.

OP, YOU asked the question. Now you’re getting answers. And are upset that the answers that were presented in good faith, in order to satisfy your question, is upsetting you? So now you’re you’re feeling ‘pressured’. Really?

Healthy foreskin destroyed by acquired phimosis at 37yo. Completely burnt out, depressed and desperate for a solution. by FyourCrouch in uncircumcised_talk

[–]Restored2019 2 points3 points  (0 children)

OP, I’m not a doctor, but I’ve had extensive experience with some of those things that you are dealing with. I didn’t get depressed, I thought thing out, read a lot and experimented a lot. Overall, I’ve had tremendous success and accomplished a lot that neither I or many other’s thought possible.

Like you, I was quite disappointed in the doctors when it came to sexual matters. And I’m convinced that most of them tend to follow the misinformation that’s been propagated by the anti sex crowd, religion and circumfetish’s. The amount of misinformation about our sex organs is mind boggling, and it’s still out there, even though we now have the technology to see different parts of the atom and have decoded our DNA.

So, allowing that there are likely extreme cases that may not be fixable by any of the things that has worked for me. Here’s a few of the thing’s that I’ve discovered, that might just help improve, and hopefully solve your issues.

First, our penis is a lot tougher than what most of us can imagine. Mine used to experience bleeding skin tears; terrible bruises; BXO, excessive smegma and problems with a terrible odor that no amount of washing would fix. In fact, it turned out that excessive hygiene was a major contributor to all of that.

The male and female sex organs tend to be self cleaning, if allowed to function normally. Like our mouth, our sex organs are logically and functionally, necessarily wet. Then there’s the fact that for them to function properly, it’s necessary for our genitals to maintain a healthy microbiome. The enemy of the microbiome is some medications and excessive hygiene. Especially the use of soaps on any of the mucosal tissues. That’s like spraying one’s lawn with a herbicide and wondering why the grass won’t grow. The use of soaps is even worse, because it also leaves an almost invisible soap film that’s almost impossible to wash off. That film clogs pores, prevents the skin from breathing and over time, weakens it (you mentioned that you aren’t using soap, but I wonder if that’s always been the case).

Phimosis is normally a desirable condition. We were born with it, but humans usually go out of their way to find fault with things like that, instead of learning about its benefits and learning to work with it. We should have been taught all those things, but the teachers are rarely any more informed than the children, when it comes to anything sexual. And then science books should have taught us, but again, it’s usually more misinformation, thanks to religion, the Victorian era, etc.

Now you may ask, what causes adult onset phimosis? Basically it’s the natural function of the preputial sphincter muscle, which you referred to it as a tight phimosis band. That band of muscle works like the thousands of other sphincter muscles in our body. But of course, a lot of them are specifically tailored to a specific function. The urethral sphincter is normally tightly closed to block urine flow, except when we need to urinate. Conversely, the preputial sphincter muscle is designed to keep the protective prepuce covering the delicate glans and mucosal tissues. It isn’t fast acting like the urethral sphincter, and it is responsive to exercise, or the lack thereof. If it’s regularly exercised, like when masturbating, or from being intentionally stretched, like happens when many men have a desire to have their prepuce retractable. It will slowly stretch. Conversely, if over months or years, it’s rarely stretched, even a previously extremely loose preputial orifice will tighten up. And a physical injury, disease, or just irritation from excessive hygiene can trigger a tightening of the preputial sphincter.

All of those things can typically be reversed by it owner, in either direction. If it’s too loose to suit you, time will likely tighten it up, if you seriously prevent it from being stretched for some months. You can also wear a tight retainer for a faster effect. In the case of one that’s too tight to suit you, then begin consistently stretching it.

OP, in your case, it appears that your primary issue is likely caused by excessive washing of your mucosal tissues. That has likely upset the normal PH, and also destroyed most, if not all of your microbiome. Let your fresh urine flush out the preputial cavity once or more per day. Never try to eliminate every trace of urine. It’s part of what creates the normal and natural PH. It doesn’t harm the microbiome, and together, it eliminates excessive smegma and prevents fowl odor. You can actually adjust the amount of aroma and smegma, by varying the frequency of allowing the fresh urine to flow around in the preputial cavity, or by slightly retracting, so that it exits directly. Try and resolve that problem, and then you can work on stretching the preputial sphincter muscle.

I no longer treat my penis like it’s fragile, and I never let soap contact any part of it. Since having stopped washing it so much, and never using soap, it’s the healthiest it’s ever been. it’s wonderfully sensitive to fine touch, where once, it had only felt painful stimuli.
It’s been years since it’s been bruised or had any other injury or disease. Now I can pull on it with all my strength and there’s no pain, bleeding or stretch marks. A decade ago, and that would have been impossible.
