“The frenulum is a kind of pleasure center for the penis, alongside its neighbor, the glans,” explains Johnson. “It is most responsive to light touch and play, and to vibrations—and the ...
A frenuloplasty of prepuce of penis (also known as a release of frenulum) is a frenuloplasty of the frenulum of prepuce of penis. An abnormally short or sensitive frenulum of the penis can make some types of sexual activity uncomfortable or even painful. This may be a complication of circumcision or a naturally occurring event.
The frenulum is too short to allow complete retraction of the foreskin (a condition called frenulum breve). [27] Pathological phimosis (as opposed to the natural non-retractability of the foreskin in childhood) is rare, and the causes are varied. Some cases may arise from balanitis (inflammation of the glans penis). [28]
In males, chastity piercing can be performed in several ways. Through infibulation (piercing the foreskin closed), a Prince Albert or frenulum piercing using a smaller gauge locking mechanism (preventing intercourse), or chaining a Prince Albert piercing to a guiche piercing (thus preventing an erection).
Smegma was originally thought to be produced by sebaceous glands near the frenulum called Tyson's glands; however, subsequent studies have failed to find these glands. [10] Joyce Wright states that smegma is produced from minute microscopic protrusions of the mucosal surface of the foreskin and that living cells constantly grow towards the ...
The frenulum is the highly vascularized elastic band of tissue located on the underside of the glans that connects the foreskin to the head of the penis. The frenulum is supple enough to allow the retraction of the foreskin over the glans and pull it back when the erection is gone. [18] In flaccid state, it tightens to narrow the foreskin ...
Frenulectomy of the penis is a surgical procedure for cutting and removal of the penile frenulum, to correct a condition known as frenulum breve. This condition prevents the full retraction of the foreskin with or without an erection. [1] It is a simple and normally painless procedure that is performed in a urologist's office.
The natural foreskin is composed of smooth dartos muscle tissue (called the peripenic muscle [16]), large blood vessels, extensive innervation, outer skin, and inner mucosa. [ 17 ] The process of foreskin restoration seeks to regenerate some of the tissue removed by circumcision, as well as provide coverage of the glans.
