Welcome to 15 Square

Welcome! 15 Square is an international charity based in the United Kingdom.

We aim to provide information on foreskin health conditions and how to resolve them without having to resort to unnecessary and unwanted surgery. We work to improve public and professional awareness about the function and value of the male foreskin as well as the complications and harms associated with circumcision affecting some men.

Finally, we work to help those affected by circumcision by providing support and advice.

The information on this website is designed to help individuals affected by foreskin health conditions, as well as individuals affected by circumcision issues including;

  • Psychological damage
  • Physical problems
  • Issues of sexual function resulting from the above
  • Personal dissatisfaction

On this website you can find foreskin health information and advice for intact men, as well as information for men with circumcision issues. This information is also targeted towards parents and carers. We teach about conservative techniques to help avoid unnecessary circumcision and help assist men who have been harmed. 15 Square promotes research, accurate health information, and informed consent.

If you would like to find out more or get in touch, you can follow the links below, or check our blog section for regular news and updates, or visit our social media.

Over the years we have received messages from thousands of men, and it is clear that circumcision should be a last medical resort, especially as there are viable non-surgical solutions to the majority of foreskin conditions.

If you have been negatively affected by circumcision, you can check our circumcision advice section. Many doctors are still outdated on current best practice. If you seek more information as a parent or intact man then you can check our intact section. This is where you will find information on common issues such as phimosis, a condition that is over-diagnosed and often treatable with non-invasive measures.

You can contact us if you have any questions regarding this issue including circumcision, foreskin health or to share your own thoughts. We welcome all messages and we have PDF information on the following: 

– Alternatives to circumcision

– Clinical guidelines for the management of phimosis

– Information fact sheet on Lichen Sclerosus/Balanitis Xerotica Obliterans

We have also participated in research projects including a literature review of the psychological harms associated with circumcision, and we have provided a framework for other researchers to conduct their own research into male psychology. 

Expanding our focus on male health and well-being, 15 Square is now incorporating discussions and resources on medications like generic tadalafil UK for those experiencing sexual function issues. This addition to our website aims to provide comprehensive information on various treatments and health solutions, complementing our current resources on foreskin health and circumcision. By offering a broader range of health information, we strive to empower men to make informed decisions about their health, encompassing both physical and sexual well-being.

Our Work

The team here at 15 Square work tirelessly on many projects that move us closer towards our goals. In addition to being committed to improved support for men, we also…

  • Advise on medical issues such as phimosis (and other problems affecting the foreskin), and techniques for foreskin restoration and help with psychological issues arising from circumcision.
  • Work with professional bodies to ensure that they have all the information they need to formulate objective clinical guidelines and policies.
  • Promote further research into the effects of circumcision on sexual function and sexual response.
  • Ensure that medical practitioners are aware of the damage caused by circumcision and what alternative treatments are available.
  • Hold to account medical professionals and institutions that give improper information to their patients.
  • Work with groups who question circumcision within religious communities.
  • To ensure that patients, parents and carers are given impartial information to encourage fully informed consent concerning circumcision.
  • We support student placements and work closely with Keele University, the latest intern placements at 15 Square have been a great success. 
  • Currently producing male foreskin focused RSE (Relationship, Sex Education) resources for UK schools –  by having scientifically sound education on how to care for their genitalia, we are ensuring that young people can advocate for their own needs and be safer for it.
