I have only heard of one man that has restored having himself re-circumcised. Jim Bigelow wrote of a man circumcised as an adult that was extremely unhappy with his mutilated penis and paid some $15-$20,000 for a surgical restoration thinking he would get back what he had. While the result was cosmetically successful and increased his sensitivity, it was so far from what he had as an intact man that he was terribly disappointed and decided to have himself re-circumcised.
Has anybody else heard of a restored man having himself re-circumcised?

Although many were happy with the result (thus justifying to themselves the decision to undertake this ordeal), others disliked their new genital status, even choosing to undergo recircumcision"

One only has to do a search on the World Wide Web to read the statements from this group and others like it and any intelligent person can quickly make up their own mind about the quality of their material and the message they are trying to promulgate. Some of these people mean well and some are intelligent, but lack a broad perspective"
