This website concerns using various methods to encourage the growth of foreskin around the trans male penis.

For clarity: This information may be useful for anyone assigned female at birth who has/had what at birth was considered a clitoris. It may also be useful for those assigned male at birth who now have a clitoris, or for any intersex people who's identities don't match the above terms, etc. As the author of this site, for my comfort I will continue to use the terms trans guy, male, men etc rather than trans masc or more gender neutral terms. I will only use terms like penis, and occasionally 'bottom growth' or 'Tdick', for the clitoris, and foreskin for the clitoral hood. This information may be useful for both non, pre, and post metoidioplasty dicks. As far as I know it is not applicable to a phalloplasty penis as there is no mucosal membrane or inner foreskin used in phalloplasty and I don't know how it would feel or result without it.

During testosterone therapy, the trans male penis grows considerably, and for many of us the foreskin does not grow at the same speed. This can leave the sensitive head exposed, where the skin will harden and sensation will be lost as the mucosal membrane exposed to air, hair, and chafing fabric undergoes a process called keratinzation. This can contribute to or cause phimosis (tightness and inability to retract/move the foreskin). Using the principles of skin expansion similar to stretching pierced earlobes, gentle pulling of the shaft skin over time will stimulate growth via mitosis. This can expand the foreskin back over the head permanently so that the skin can heal and regain sensation and moistness.

While some may engage in or find these methods on their own, I came onto these methods by learning about foreskin restoration of the cis male penis. Many men (and other genders) are reclaiming and healing their bodies from circumsizion via foreskin restoration. I choose to use the term 'foreskin growth' for FTM methods rather than 'restoration' because I want to respect our different struggles. Growing your foreskin as a trans man can be an emotional journey of reclaiming a relationship to genitals that others may have abused, pursuing return of sensation that doctors may not care about, embracing the health of a body part we may have a complicated and painful relationship with. Howevever, I was not circumsized, and I do not want to use the term 'restoration' because to me, that is for people restoring something that was explicitly taken from them during surgery almost always without their permission. Other trans men have experienced circumsizion or similar and may be more comfortable with the term 'restoration' and in need of emotional support along those lines.

I strongly support anti-circumcision activism or 'intactivism' and I am against surgical intervention for intersex children. The same way I should have access to surgeries that provide the greatest physical and mental benefit to me, and as a child my health needs such as transition should have been respected, no child should undergo a surgical procedure that robs them of a body part essential to genital health. I support those who consider it child genital mutilation.
