Joy of Uncircumcising: Restore Your Birthright and Maximize Sexual Pleasure

Dr. Bigelow is able to succinctly reveal why circumcision is a hoax perpetuated on the American people. He also tells why the foreskin is an important, functional part of male anatomy. What sets this book apart, however, are the personal comments throughout it that really show how men in this country have been victimized by the medical profession and society. It's time to save our sons from the same abuse that the majority of American Men have endured. Our sons deserve to grow up intact just as much as our daughters do. There is no medical reason for circumcision. America is the only industrialized nation that still routinely circumcises, yet just about every aliment attributed to having a foreskin is lower or no higher in all of the industrialized countries that don't circumcise. For example, America has one of the highest HIV rates in the industrialized world. Circumcision has done nothing to stem the tide of HIV infection in this country. In fact, some studies show that circumcised men are at greater risk of contracting HIV. And, since the circumcised penis becomes keratinized and rough, it's probable that they are at greater risk for infecting others.Dr. Bigelow's book is wonderful both in its factual documentation of circumcision and in its personalization of the horror of circumcision. It's a must read for every man that has been circumcised, to realize what he's lost, and for every man that has not been circumcised, to realize how lucky he is. It is also a must read for women. It will help them to understand the hurt that most men in this country have suffered at the hands of the medical establishment and society. It will also help them to realize how lucky they are if they are fortunate enough to have an uncircumcised lover. Just a thought; the crime rate in this country increased almost lock-step with the circumcision rate. Now the circumcision rate is going down and so is the crime rate. I wonder if it's just a coincidence, or if crime is some how related to the violence most males experience just after birth.

The shocking story of male circumcision, a must-read for every man, expectant couple, pregnant woman, and anyone contemplating circumcising their boy, either as an infant or at an older age. Discusses alternatives to full circumcision for medical conditions (phimosis, tight foreskin) and details the loss of sensation and other important functions of the foreskin. Opened my eyes to the reality of regrowing my own prepuce. I have regrown about 1/2 inch and regained some lost sensation using the do-it-yourself techniques in this excellent book.

The authors present the unvarnished truth about one of America's ugliest human rights abuses, infant circumcision. They also describe how circumcised men can to some extent recover what was taken from them. Particularly helpful: This thoroughly researched book includes well-written explanations, and an excellent indexes of resources and references. The author's description of the historical development of the practice of circumcision is both enlightening and shocking.

This book is well written and gives the truth behind circumcision's destructive qualities. The book is very helpful for men who feel they have had something wrongfully taken from them through circumcision. I strongly recommend it to anyone who cares about his body.

"The Joy of Uncircumcising" is the premier volume for men wishing to regain their birthright of sexual function and sensitivity. While restoration will not completely reverse the damage done by surgical alteration of the genitals known as circumcision, it is a vast improvement to the circumcised state. On a 1 to 10 scale, with the sensitivity and functionality of circumcised male genitals being in the 1-2 range, and the normal intact male genitals being a 10, restoration can return the range of sensations to the 5-7 range. While foreskin restoration techniques continue to evolve and be refined, this book defines the basics and is the place to start when embarking on the personal journey of recovery. NORM, the National Organization of Restoring Men highly recommends this book and has additional reader reviews at their web site. The book is aptly named. I have personally been using the non-surgical do-it-yourself process outlined in this book, and the results so far are truly a "Joy".
