Adult Circumcision

This group is dedicated to men of all ages who have or may required the surgical removal of their foreskin as adults and men who have the experience to having been both cut and uncut. It is the hope of this group to have open discussion about the pros and cons and the conditions that required it's members to have the procedure done. We would like to establish a forum of questions and answers...

Frenulum, Needed or Not?

Return to Discussions

The word frenulum on its own is often used for the frenulum of prepuce of penis, which is an elastic band of tissue under the penis glads that connects to the foreskin which helps contract theforeskin over the glans. The frenulum is also called and known as the "banjo string".
I was recently asked by another member, who is getting a circumcision, if he should remove his frenulum. I explained that in my particular case I kept myfrenulum, though I had originallyintended to have it removed, preferring the look of itgone- but mydoctorstrongly urgedI reconsider keeping it, explaining that the frenulum was/is highly sensitive and by removing it I would lose much if not all of the sensitivity in the area. I followed his advise and I'm very pleased I did - just as my doctor described, the frenulum continues to be a very sensitive part of my and penis and a wonderful source of pleasure and visually I find it looks fine.
So now I'm curiousabout circumcisedguys who've had thierfrenulum removed, if they still have sentivity in the area and would they recommend removing it or not?...

Well being a Muslim, I was done for religious reasons when I was 10. And by a religious circumciser, not a doctor. So easy to say, he didn't care for the frenulum and basically just cut a part of it along with my foreskin. So now I have a little bit of it left, similar to the style American newborns get. My sons were done by a doctor though, so theirs was cut off

i was circumcised in my late 50s, frenulum was removed. its up to the individual to keep it or not. i chose to remove it. if it is a frenulum breve, aka a short frenulum then it should be removed so as to relieve the constant pull.
