Viafin-Atlas is on our side!

[Microsoap]

Viafin-Atlas is a UK-based company that manufactures the SenSlip-- the world’s first ever artificial retractable foreskin for circumcised men. I take it they've put out this press release due to the overwhelming positive response they've received about their therapeutic products for circumcised males and more importantly, forwarding the letters they've received from these men about the despair and anger felt by victims of unnecessary neo-natal circumcision performed in the US to the American Academy of Pediatrics and the US Secretary of Health and Human Services. I applaud them for their actions!

Yes, MS, I took this news as a true miracle. We're going to have lots more of those this year!

This is corporate integrity. Even though this co could make billions in the future off the insanity of a huge market that needs foreskins to replace the ones that were cut off, they chose to do the compassionate and humane thing. They actually try to lessen their market by begging the people who are supposed to look out for baby boys to please, wake the _____up and start doing the job!
I'm hoping this will light a fire under other companies to speak up ---maybe the Viagra and Cialis manufacturers.. . . .

Wow! I just read their site, and it is fabulous! They may offer a valid alternative to foreskin restoration.

I wish them success in the future.

[Frankly Speaking]

I question whether it is a valid alternative to foreskin restoration. Sure, it may help with the sensitivity but it isn't worn during sexual intercourse so the gliding action of the foreskin is not there.

I know a couple who ordered the product to evaluate if the man would attempt foreskin restoration. So far, the only thing they have to report is that the thing is almost impossible to get on the penis. I'll report on their progress and findings when they are available.

Agree that "covering" would not be the solution that restoring provides. However, I like the fact that a British co is marketing an item to replace something that shouldn't have been removed in the first place. Can you imagine if we had a cultural practise like pulling out every girl's fingernails at birth
because it would be cleaner and more attractive to their sexual partner's in later life. . . . . then, when they grew up, all those women with no fingernails started to want the sensitivity in their fingertips back and started buying simulated nail covers from a foreign country? I think it would be the writing on the wall that the game is up.

When N. Americans start to really get it that the rest of the world views this genital mutilation of boys as a horror and autrocity, it will be very difficult to keep perpetrating the crime. We live in very interesting times where the international community is at our fingertips through the web.

That'd be cool to know... the one in the photo looked... pretty passable, actually. I can definitely imagine it being a PITA to put on, though.
