The National Organization of Restoring Men is a non-profit support group for men who have concerns about being circumcised, are considering foreskin restoration, or are in the process of restoring their foreskins. Our aim is to help men regain a sense of self-directedness -- physically as well as emotionally.

NORM is dedicated to providing an arena in which circumcised men can share their concerns without fear of being ridiculed for a desire to be intact and whole again. A safe place is provided to discuss goals and learn about methods and techniques of restoration and to discover those methods that will work best for each individual.

Now in its sixteenth year of operation, NORM continues to freely provide information and support to restoring men everywhere. 

Men's Voices

When we men discuss our feelings about circumcision, no one listens, not even doctors. I'm one of the millions of men who doesn't like being circumcised. I wish I had been able to scream at the doctors, "Hands off, its mine!"
          -S.B., 47, Atlanta, GA

I've been restoring for almost two months and it's hard to believe, sex with my wife is getting better. I actually have more feeling. It's great.
          -35 yr old man, CA

I was cut at the age of 11. As the years have passed, I find that stimulation is difficult to achieve. It seems as though an excess of manipulation, almost to the point of pain, is necessary to achieve satisfaction.
          -V.T., New Jersey

After thirty years in the natural state, I allowed myself to be circumcised because, in my physician's view, there might be problems in the future. For me, the sensitivity in the glans has been reduced at least 50%.
          -T.B. 

I'm a 17-year-old male who is circumcised. I got to thinking, what am I missing? It makes me sad because I'm not whole as I was intended to be. Circumcision has deprived me of the most sensual receptor on my sexual organ.
          -B.J., Oregon

I'll always be my parents' son, but my body belongs to me and no one else. No one had my permission to circumcise me. Since there was absolutely no medical threat from my foreskin, it is a clear violation of my basic human rights. Could some doctors be giving wrong advice on infant circumcision because it is a big business in the U.S.? 
          -G.D., Arizona

British Journal of Urology March, 2007

A study in the BJU compared the sensitivity of various parts of the penis (not just the glans as some previous studies have done) in men who were circumcised and those were not and not surprisingly found uncircumcised men had greater sensitivity. The study also discusses the lack of previous research on this topic and makes note of the fact that they were unable to test several points on the the circumcised penis since circumcision had removed these areas of  skin and the associated penile structures.
