"There were multiple web pages about foreskin restoration, including forums about it on anti-male circumcision websites. I was not familiar with this at all and dove deeper. Basically it is a non-surgical process involving manually tugging the skin of the penis to recreate the foreskin. There were some websites that seemed more legitimate than others, but I can't help but worry that this is something he is actively considering or already partaking in!"
"I know that he is technically an adult, and his body is his choice, but some of these websites describe making homemade contraptions for stretching the skin multiple times a day. I want to respect his privacy and am sure that he would be mortified if I brought up what I saw, but naturally I care about his health and am worried that he could do long-term damage from something like this."
A single mother of an 18-year-old son borrowed his phone while her own phone was unusable and accidentally saw multiple open tabs about foreskin restoration. The searches and forums described non-surgical restoration that involves manually tugging penile skin and sometimes homemade stretching devices used multiple times daily. The mother is unfamiliar with the practice and worries that her son may be considering or already attempting potentially harmful methods. The mother wants to respect her adult son's privacy and fears he would be mortified to have the topic raised. She is concerned about possible long-term damage and is considering whether to involve a trusted family member.
