'''{{FULLPAGENAME}}''' are formerly [[intact]] men who, as an adolescent or adult, voluntarily elected to submit to [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| adult circumcision]].
Regret men usually had thoughtful and loving parents who actively protected the legal and [[human rights]] of their son to [[physical integrity]] and the enjoyment of a whole and complete [[intact]] [[penis]] with a functional [[foreskin]]. Such parents properly reserve the decision regarding [[circumcision]] for the boy to make for himself.
==Reasons for circumcision==
Most [[intact]] males are very content with their status, however a few are not and choose the [[Adolescent_and_adult_circumcision| circumcision]] option.
1. Regret men may have been reared in a society where most men are [[circumcised]] and they chose to follow the perceived norm.
2. Other regret men may have been persuaded by an ignorant and selfish girlfriend or ex-girlfriend to get [[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcised]].
3. Others may have consulted a rapacious urologist for a minor medical condition who recommended the most expensive procedure ([[Adolescent and adult circumcision| circumcision]]), instead of conservative [[foreskin]]-conserving treatment.<ref name="masood2005">{{REFjournal

== Reasons for regret ==
After their [[adult circumcision]], regret men commonly complain of the discomfort of an exposed [[glans penis]], dryness, and of extreme loss of [[Foreskin sensitivity| sexual sensation]] after the excision of the nerve-laden, protective [[foreskin]], which has been known to be erogenous tissue for decades,<ref name="winklemann1959">{{WinkelmannRK 1959}}</ref> and come to regret their decision to be [[circumcised]].
==Options for treatment of lost foreskin==
The options for treatment are few. [[Surgical foreskin restoration]] has been tried but is no longer recommended. Men, seeking to undo the unfortunate results of their circumcision, may opt for non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]], which uses [[tissue expansion]] to elongate the residual shaft skin to form a new foreskin. It is claimed that it restores about 80 percent of the lost sensation.
Watson & Golden (2017) recommend that [[circumcised]] men "embrace the anguish and try to feel it as strongly as they can." They also recommend non-surgical [[foreskin restoration]] "since it empowers the patient."<ref name="watson2017">{{REFjournal

Other regret men are awaiting the hoped for success of [[Foregen]] to regenerate a missing [[foreskin]] as a salamander regenerates its lost tail, however this is not yet a proven procedure.
==Other classes of regret men==
Other classes of regret men include the [[regret dad]], the male [[regret doctor]] who regrets the circumcisions he formerly performed, and [[cut (circumcised) dads with intact sons]].
