Circumcision has been an irreversible operation, often conducted on boys who are too young to consent

A U. S company says it is very close to developing a method that will allow men's foreskins to regenerate - much like a lizard that is able to regrow its tail. Accoring to a report in Motherboard, a company called Fore?gen has been working on procedures to be able to help men answer the question — “What would sex be like with a foreskin?”, by using regenerative medicine to regrow their foreskins.
Daily Mail goes on to highlight that circumcised men are congregating on forums on websites such as foreskin-restoration.net and circumstitions.com, angry that their foreskins were removed before they were old enough to consent or understand the implications of the procedure.
Many complain that they experience de-sensitivity in the head of the penis and cannot enjoy sex in the same way as their non-circumcised peers. Medical experts are increasingly divided over whether circumcision should be performed.
But what exactly are circumcised guys missing? Depending on who you ask, the answer ranges from “penile cancer” to “the best sex you and your partner have never had.” It’s hard to weigh the factors around this issue, as the science is wrought with bias and even deliberate interference, and sexual enjoyment is largely subjective.
Therefore, this company's efforts will help restore the sensitivity in the male organ which is lost due to the 'unnesecary amputation'. Motherboard reports, circumcision removes about 15 square inches of skin containing about 20,000 nerves (as an adult), makes the penis an external organ with the head constantly exposed, disables the frenulum, the lubricating function, and its gliding mobility, and even dulls the color of the penis—and that’s if the procedure goes well.
Foregen plans to draw together experts from the field to find a way to make men’s foreskin grow back. It will start with experiments on animals with a view to progressing to trials on humans.
