Do You Know: About penis rejuvenation?

by
Blog, Do You Know?
December 1, 2015

As more and more men learn about sensitivity loss from circumcision and aging, they look for ways to feel more. Various products purporting to meet this need and improve sexual sensation have entered the market.

Now, without making any product endorsements or claims as to their efficacy, we’ll tell you a little bit about some of the available products — things that men whose penises lack their natural protection (the foreskin) might use to make sex and masturbation feel better. Products that claim to “recondition” or “rejuvenate” the penis fall into three categories: protective coverings, moisturizers, and sensitizing agents.

Protective coverings: Senslip, and Manhood are examples of foreskin protectors designed to cover the glans and allow it to regain suppleness and sensitivity. They’re designed to be worn under regular clothing, and to be removed at night and during sex.

Moisturizers: Coconut oil, today’s rage, appears high on the list of moisturizers and lubricants for use during masturbation or sex. Silicone oils also seem to be very popular. Other moisturizers safe for the penis include perfume-free lotions and creams containing Vitamins A, C and E. Stay away from anything with perfume, and from petroleum-based products. But be sure that if you’re using the products during sex, you check to ensure the ingredients won’t degrade your condom (coconut oil and Vaseline have been reported to do this).

Sensitizing agents: Finally, there are a couple of products on the market that claim to contain re-sensitizing agents, in addition to moisturizing and lubricating ingredients. These include CircumSerum (and it’s European version Sensum+), and Man1 Man Oil.

CircumSerum and Sensum+ contain, among other ingredients, cinnamon oil which the manufacturer states “works by activating the Transient Receptor Potential A1 (TRPA-1) channels responsible for the heat and cold sensation of the skin.” Man1 Man Oil contains vitamin supplements, an anti-oxidant, and an enzyme that together are supposed to restore nerve function and increase blood flow to the penis.

An estimated 70 million American men lack the foreskins they were born with, as a result of an unjustifiable mutilation foisted on them when they were too young to consent or resist. Not surprisingly, entrepreneurs are working to reach this enormous market with products that might help to reduce or reverse the damage done by circumcision.

Again, Intact America endorses no products, nor can we confirm the efficacy (or even safety) of the compounds and devices described above. But we want you to know what’s out there! As awareness grows about the harms of circumcision, we can expect to see more products entering the mainstream. Do your research, and we’d be happy to hear about your experience — via email [email protected].

Marilyn

Marilyn Fayre Milos, multiple award winner for her humanitarian work to end routine infant circumcision in the United States and advocating for the rights of infants and children to genital autonomy, has written a warm and compelling memoir of her path to becoming “the founding mother of the intactivist movement.” Needing to support her family as a single mother in the early sixties, Milos taught banjo—having learned to play from Jerry Garcia (later of The Grateful Dead)—and worked as an assistant to comedian and social critic Lenny Bruce, typing out the content of his shows and transcribing court proceedings of his trials for obscenity. After Lenny’s death, she found her voice as an activist as part of the counterculture revolution, living in Haight Ashbury in San Francisco during the 1967 Summer of Love, and honed her organizational skills by creating an alternative education open classroom (still operating) in Marin County. 

After witnessing the pain and trauma of the circumcision of a newborn baby boy when she was a nursing student at Marin College, Milos learned everything she could about why infants were subjected to such brutal surgery. The more she read and discovered, the more convinced she became that circumcision had no medical benefits. As a nurse on the obstetrical unit at Marin General Hospital, she committed to making sure parents understood what circumcision entailed before signing a consent form. Considered an agitator and forced to resign in 1985, she co-founded NOCIRC (National Organization of Circumcision Information Resource Centers) and began organizing international symposia on circumcision, genital autonomy, and human rights. Milos edited and published the proceedings from the above-mentioned symposia and has written numerous articles in her quest to end circumcision and protect children’s bodily integrity. She currently serves on the board of directors of Intact America.

Georganne

Georganne Chapin is a healthcare expert, attorney, social justice advocate, and founding executive director of Intact America, the nation’s most influential organization opposing the U.S. medical industry’s penchant for surgically altering the genitals of male children (“circumcision”). Under her leadership, Intact America has definitively documented tactics used by U.S. doctors and healthcare facilities to pathologize the male foreskin, pressure parents into circumcising their sons, and forcibly retract the foreskins of intact boys, creating potentially lifelong, iatrogenic harm. 

Chapin holds a BA in Anthropology from Barnard College, and a Master’s degree in Sociomedical Sciences from Columbia University. For 25 years, she served as president and chief executive officer of Hudson Health Plan, a nonprofit Medicaid insurer in New York’s Hudson Valley. Mid-career, she enrolled in an evening law program, where she explored the legal and ethical issues underlying routine male circumcision, a subject that had interested her since witnessing the aftermath of the surgery conducted on her younger brother. She received her Juris Doctor degree from Pace University School of Law in 2003, and was subsequently admitted to the New York Bar. As an adjunct professor, she taught Bioethics and Medicaid and Disability Law at Pace, and Bioethics in Dominican College’s doctoral program for advanced practice nurses.

In 2004, Chapin founded the nonprofit Hudson Center for Health Equity and Quality, a company that designs software and provides consulting services designed to reduce administrative complexities, streamline and integrate data collection and reporting, and enhance access to care for those in need. In 2008, she co-founded Intact America.

Chapin has published many articles and op-ed essays, and has been interviewed on local, national and international television, radio and podcasts about ways the U.S. healthcare system prioritizes profits over people’s basic needs. She cites routine (nontherapeutic) infant circumcision as a prime example of a practice that wastes money and harms boys and the men they will become. This Penis Business: A Memoir is her first book.
