1) RESTORATION RETURNS THE PROTECTIVE ‘COVER’ OVER YOUR GLANS SO THAT WHEN NOT NEEDED, IT WILL BE PROTECTED. Maybe you are one of those men who is forever adjusting his fly when his unprotected urethra or sensitive corona hits his clothing. It is one of the many nuisances of being circumcised, and millions of us have been there. Once you can put away your glans this will be less of a problem.

2) RESTORATION LENGTHENS THE PENILE SHEATH SO NOCTURNAL ERECTIONS ARE NOT DISTURBING. Healthy men of all ages have 2-4 erections a day whether they like it or not. Even if you have sex twice a week, 90% of your erections are non-sexual. The rest occur unsought during sleep. Many men notice these erections awaken them because their remnant skin stretches too tight. That is disruptive of healthy REM sleep and unnecessary. Restoration is a good cure.

3.) RESTORATION PUTS PUBIC HAIR BACK ON THE PUBIS, WHERE IT BELONGS. Circumcised men, especially those whose penile sheaths were nearly completely amputated, (more common than you may think) often have hair all the way out to the circumcision scar. This can cause abrasion and chafing to both partners. By lengthening the penile sheath, that hair is left where it belongs, on the pubis.

4.) EVEN PARTIAL RESTORATION (a few months) ALLOWS THE SKIN TO BE MORE RELAXED SO THAT IT DOES NOT ABRADE OR TEAR ON ERECTION. Many males are so tightly circumcised their skin is drum-tight and easily abraded, especially at the scar line or raised scar tags and flaps. This is a nuisance that impedes erection and is distracting. Even if you feel no need to fully restore your foreskin, you may benefit from some relaxation of that tension. You may find you are less ‘curved’ too.

5.) RESTORATION ALLOWS THOSE MEN WITH ADHESIONS TO AVOID PAIN. Often the penile sheath grows back onto the glans in small tunnels or folds that hurt on erection. If you have these and are understandably reluctant to let a doctor cut you again, restoration releases some of the painful excess tension at the adhesions.

6.) A LONGER PENILE SKIN ALLOWS THE CORONA TO BE ‘TEASED’ BY THE FOLDS OF THE PENILE SHEATH, AN ACTION THAT INTACT MEN KNOW TO BE PLEASANT. Circumcision deprives the male of this, (that was the historical aim, to destroy sexual sensation) which is one reason why it requires vigorous gymnastics for the circumcised to be sexually satisfied, (it has to be said that this is a necessity that not all partners find pleasant.)

7.) RESTORATION GIVES YOU BACK THE NATURAL GLIDING MOTION OF NORMAL INTERCOURSE, which reduces the friction on both you and your partner,  especially important for post-menopausal women.

8.) RESTORATION RECREATES THE MOIST ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH THE GLANS WAS MEANT TO RESIDE. When your denuded glans dried out, it protected itself with many layers of ‘keratinized’ cells, and surface nerve receptors receded. This reduces the exquisite sensation of sex, and also obliges circumcised men to use lubrication (and many to reject condoms). Restoration causes the shedding of dried cells and eventually returns the glans to its normal moist, sensitive state as an internal structure.

9.) RESTORATION PROVIDES SOME NECESSARY ADDITIONAL SENSITIVITY TO THE OLDER MAN. Circumcision is very unkind to the older male. Having perhaps only a remnant of 20% of his intended erogenous tissue remaining, he may have trouble getting or maintaining an erection. Although drugs like Viagra or Cialis can help with the hydraulics, the male himself cannot feel what he was intended to, a pity. Restored/Restoring men report 2-3 fold increases in sensation.

10.) RESTORATION IS RIDICULOUSLY EASY, SIMPLE, CHEAP, AND HARDLY NOTICEABLE WHEN DONE CORRECTLY. (But takes a while-- often 2-years or more, and requires a level of emotional fortitude and dedication to the process.)

11.) EVEN IF YOU ARE YOUNG AND "FEEL JUST FINE" NOW… restoration is an investment in your future, and will provide benefits for that many more years if completed early in life. You may also discover you’ve been missing something.

Psychological Benefits to Consider

1.) RESTORATION IS VERY SATISFYING TO THE MAN WHO FEELS SOMETHING WAS ‘STOLEN’ FROM HIM (which of course, it was). Intact men also report they feel less vulnerable with their natural cover, and so might you.

2.) SINCE CIRCUMCISION WAS HISTORICALLY OFTEN PERFORMED AS A PUNISHMENT, restoration is your chance to ‘undo’ your punishment, a sort of  ‘get-out-of–jail-free’ card.

3.) RESTORATION IS RESOURCEFUL, LIKE FIXING YOUR OWN CAR, something you can do for yourself without medical intervention or approval. (Indeed, you will find doctors are ignorant of or hostile to non-surgical restoration, because they did not sanction it and are embarrassed you feel the need to undo a "mutilation" they invented and sold to parents.)

4.) A ’GROWER’ MAY BECOME A ‘SHOW-ER’--You may think you are a ‘grower’ but discover it is mere lack of skin that forces your inner structure into your pubis and makes you look short. Restored men are surprised to find that with skin tension released, they hang out more, look longer, even when flaccid, like a real ‘show-er’ or a normal male. Restoration, even partial, gives you back some of your ‘design’ length and bulk.

5.) RESTORATION OBLITERATES THE OBSCENE ‘SIGNATURE’ OF YOUR CIRCUMCISER.  While restoring, your  circumcision scar stretches and almost entirely disappears, being replaced with your own handiwork. You do not have to look at that scar and remember what was taken from you, but instead can take pride in how you restored yourself - under your own volition.

6.) RESTORATION ALSO OBLITERATES YOUR "MEDICAL-INDUSTRIAL COMPLEX BRANDING', as one famous pediatrician calls circumcision, and restores you to your unique, brand-free, "I am my-own-person" status.

7.) SOME MEN FEEL IT IS ALSO COOL AND LOOKS MORE ‘EURO’ TO BE INTACT (RESTORED) AND "NORMAL" You need not feel like a freak if you visit a nude beach or frequent health clubs or youth hostels (especially) in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, or New Zealand, places where circumcision rates have always been low, or became low in recent time.

An easy re-write can convert this text to "reasons not to circumcise", as readers might guess.
