This is freakin' cool thanks for the post, very interesting. I am both surprised and not at the same time. I'm in the process of reading Nates' book F*** portion control and he talks in great lengths about the fact that the body actually trends towards health, not destruction, IF the building blocks are provided (hormones, good nutrition, etc). In that context, it makes perfect sense that the body can and will regrow even limbs given the right tools.
@tankasnowgod very cool man that you're considering the possibility of regrowth of the foreskin. I had not considered this possibility, but in light of regrowing limbs, why not? If you ever find something that works I would love to hear about it (You going to try the DHEA/progesterone combo out?), definitely post about your experience. I am also saddened that I was circumcised as a baby, and would love to find a way to regrow. There actually are methods out there that supposedly can regrow the foreskin (daily stretching) I tried those for a while but it was painful and tedious so I stopped. Some people have claimed to regrow the skin after as long as 3 years of this process, but manipulating hormones somehow seems like a smarter/easier/less painful method. I think the stretching method works because it also stimulates growth (but through stretching, not hormone manipulation), and also kind of provides a high CO2 environment because most of the stretching methods also provide an enclosure to the tip (so that is in line with covering the tip of a partially amputated finger) so it kind of makes sense how it could work that way. So maybe you will still need to cover it up as much as you can ("ManHood" company in canada sells things you can cover your tip with) I'm somewhat lucky in that I have SOME foreskin left, maybe 25% of it, so I think it's well in the realm of possibility for me to do so. If you find a way, it'll be a huge boon for alot of us guys!
I know the stretching methods of which you speak. I agree with you, tried them out for a few weeks, and pain/irritation made me stop. On top of that, it's not really regrowing the foreskin. I know some guys have also opted for a skin graft type of procedure, but I'm certainly out on that. I also know of the Foregen project, but have always been a bit wary of it at the same time, and since it's still a surgical route, don't know if I would do that either. Bottom line, that area has been abused enough already.
But regenerating and healing on it's own (with metabolic and/or supplemental help)? Absolutely up my alley. I will follow up, ping me if you don't hear. Knowing the "Proof of Concept" studies that Haidut posted, I can certainly be more dedicated to the regimen.
