Frenulum

The V-shaped, elastic segment of skin that joins the foreskin to the glands on the underside of the penis is called the frenulum. The frenulum of the prepuce of the penis is its complete title. Another name for the frenulum is the frenum. The slang phrase for frenulum is banjo string.

The Latin word frenulum means "little bridle." The brain, mouth, and digestive tract are only a few of the body's numerous frenula. Nonetheless, the penis's frenulum is the only one that is frequently referred to as such.

The foreskin contracts over the penis' head with the assistance of the frenulum. It is also the area of the penis that is most sensitive, whether it is circumcised or not. By stimulating the frenulum for an extended period, people can ejaculate. Even those who are insensitive to many other forms of sexual stimulation due to spinal cord damage can attest to this.

As in the case of first-degree hypospadias, the penis can occasionally develop without a frenulum. Scientists are developing cutting-edge technologies to repair the frenula in those who have lost or never acquired it since it can significantly improve sex.

More About Frenulum

It is pretty enjoyable to stimulate the frenulum through various forms of intercourse and touch. But because it's so delicate, it's best to proceed slowly and gently. Kissing and stroking other body parts are examples of gentle foreplay that can help someone warm up and feel prepared for frenulum stimulation. This is comparable to how clitoris preparation for direct touch is aided by foreplay.

To gently stimulate the frenulum, some people recommend grasping the penis' shaft like a cell phone and using the thumb to simulate sending a text message. It can also feel pleasant to do a hand job with brief strokes. An excellent oral sex technique is to lick the frenulum with a wide tongue, similar to how you would lick an ice cream cone. As with all frenulum stimulation, it's best to begin with a low, soft setting first, but vibrating toys can also be exciting.

For both the wearer and their sexual partners, a frenulum piercing can improve sex. The receiving partner's vagina or anus may be stimulated during penetration. With each thrust, the piercing slides somewhat, stimulating the pierced-giving partner's frenulum. Some fetish and BDSM groups also use frenulum piercings as anchor points for their chastity devices.

During rough foreplay, masturbation, or sex, the frenulum may tear. Additionally, it may rip while engaging in non-sexual activities like riding a bike or participating in sports. Significant bleeding could result if the tearing cuts the frenular artery. However, most tears are little and can go away on their own. Penetrative intercourse should be avoided until the tear has healed since it may cause the wound to reopen. The chance of tearing can be decreased using lubricant. You can have a frenulum breve if your frenulum tears frequently. You can talk to a doctor about the above-mentioned therapy choices.
