In this gripping episode of the Intact Again podcast, Turkish Restorer recounts the trauma of being forcibly circumcised at the age of five during a lavish public ceremony in Turkey—an event celebrated by hundreds and immortalized on video.
He speaks candidly about the cultural expectations that frame circumcision as a rite of passage and manhood, the humiliation of being objectified by family, and the long-term psychological scars left behind.
Now living in Canada, he shares his personal journey of foreskin restoration, the emotional challenges of navigating identity, body image, and sexuality, and the profound loneliness that can accompany such a deeply personal act of healing. While he harbors no resentment toward his family, he is unapologetically critical of the cultural norms that enabled this harm. This episode offers a raw, unfiltered look into trauma, resistance, and the power of reclaiming bodily autonomy.
