Many men, who were circumcised at an early age or have to undergo the procedure later in life for health reasons, have formed online communities to discuss methods of 'foreskin restoration'.

Many men said they have experienced emotional difficulties and feel angry and resentful about the surgery and are looking to find methods of reversing it, News.com.au reported.

According to the Kernel online magazine, users are gathering together on forums such as foreskin-restoration.net and circumstitions.com.

A former children's commissioner Paul Mason, who has founded a circumcision organisation called the Australasian Institute for Genital Autonomy, said there are thousands of men around the world, who are trying to recreate the foreskin experience by stretching the skin of their shaft down over the end of their penis.
