Study published in Journal of Pediatric Urology, 2009 Aug 7. doi:10.1016/j.jpurol.2009.07.007. "Knowledge of normal meatal/urethral width in a growing boy is important to create a neourethra of adequate size to correct hypospadias. Thus far, normal size values have been based on the study of circumcised, awake boys. The aim of this study was to measure normal urethral width in healthy uncircumcised boys under general anesthesia to provide a tool to create a neourethra of adequate size."

Study published in Journal of Sexual Medicine, Vol. 4, Issue 6, pp. 1666-78 (Oct. 23, 2007). The study found that significant percentages of women still experience orgasms after genital mutilation.

Results. The group of 137 women, affected by different types of FGM/C, reported orgasm in almost 86%, always 69.23%; 58 mutilated young women reported orgasm in 91.43%, always 8.57%; after defibulation 14 out of 15 infibulated women reported orgasm; the group of 57 infibulated women investigated with the FSFI questionnaire showed significant differences between group of study and an equivalent group of control in desire, arousal, orgasm, and satisfaction with mean scores higher in the group of mutilated women. No significant differences were observed between the two groups in lubrication and pain.

A foreskin restoration page written by Dave. He provides a good description of foreskin restoration and answers many common questions about restoring. He also describes his experience with restoring, including the benefits from his restoration.

The page includes instructions, with pictures, for t-taping. Dave also has pictures of using a PUD (Penis Uncircumcising Device). His treatment of the various methods is thorough and informative.

The Female Patient feature article: Circumcision Update 2009. The article discusses benefits, risks, prevalence, and circumcision techniques. It concludes, "Neonatal circumcision has limited medical benefits as well as potential risks. Parents should be apprised of these prior to giving informed consent. Many American parents are uninformed of the risks and the limited benefits because of the universality of circumcision a generation ago."

Study published in The Lancet, Volume 374, Issue 9685, Pages 229 - 237, 18 July 2009. doi:10.1016/S0140-6736(09)60998-3.  The study assessed whether circumcision in HIV-infected men would reduce transmission of the virus to female sexual partners. Circumcision of HIV-infected men did not reduce HIV transmission to female partners over 24 months; longer-term effects could not be assessed. Condom use after male circumcision is essential for HIV prevention.  The results indicate that there is a probability of 21.7% HIV infection rate for female partners of circumcised HIV infected men, compared to 13.4% HIV infection rate for female partners of HIV infected men. Women with circumcised partners had more than a 50% increase in the infection rate of women compared to women with un-circumcised partners.

Non-Surgical Foreskin Restoration video of a television show that aired in Canada. John Antonopoulos from CIRC and Don Kettle from NORM are interviewed. The t-taping method is shown, and general foreskin restoration information is provided.

The Functions of Foreskin (Prepuce) is an educational medical slideshow covering the development and functions of the prepuce (foreskin) from before birth through adulthood. There are no moving images in this documentary, only still pictures and diagrams from medical journals. The terminology used while professional is not incomprehensible to a lay audience.

Routine Infant Circumcision video provided as an educational resource for healthcare professionals and parents/guardians who are interested in learning more about what circumcision entails. Actual surgery on a baby done by a doctor in a hospital is shown, so viewer discretion is advised.
