Frenulum

I had circumcision preserving frenulum and I have one quick question. Will it tear often or not? I do a lot of sports and activities and afraid that it will tear. Is there anyone who hasn't torn their frenulum after circumcision?

I kept my frenulum also. It took much longer to heal than the rest of the incision but since then I've never had a problem with the skin tearing there. I have had a couple of little tears elsewhere on the cut line but that was my own fault by a little too enthusiastic after having to wait till everything healed to have sex

I think it would be extremely worrying if your frenulum tore during sports activities. Excessive sexual activity yes, especially without adequate lubrication.

No, I swim a couple of times a week and weights 3 times. Don't run anymore but walk a lot. The only problem I had was my glans rubbing against my shorts till the sensitivity lessened. It's 4 years ago now and and everything is good

Ok so nothing to worry about frenulum doing sports but only during sexual intercourse? Just had procedure done 2 months ago and just curious to know life after the procedure :)

No your frenulum will be fine. Yes intercourse was a bit dodgy for a while and penis was always red and slightly swollen afterwards. I was the same if I masturbated too hard also. Its just about adapting to a new way

Oh yes and as xsevenx said use plenty of lube

I think the post-sex/post-wank swelling is just a thing we all encounter. I don't get any swelling now, but sometimes I get a little soreness (nothing serious) that lasts only an hour or two now, and not every time. Lots of lube, and maybe when you have a wank for the first few months of doing it use a condom too - just for a little added protection.

I agree. I don't get swelling anymore but lube is essential especially for a wank. Haven't found one yet that I'm totally happy with. Most of them tend to dry in too fast. What are you using that works?

Hi. My fren was preserved. It was the slowest to heal, but no problem whatsoever with it now regardless of strenuous activity etc. I'm so glad I still have it is it's a very key spot for arousal for me!

Heya, my frenulum was also preserved - my surgeon told me it was simply divided when the foreskin was removed, meaning I have my frenulum in tact to the scar line and it just stretches slightly (painlessly) when it needs to. It's definitely the area that takes the longest to heal, however at 6 months it's basically all done for me and I imagine by 8-12 months healed it will feel normal. Like others have said, I'm really pleased it's still there - it stretches out nicely when erect and is a key point for arousal during sex and masturbation. It's an area packed with nerves, so it takes a while to heal and settle. In the early weeks/months it can feel tight back there, but as your skin heals and stretches it just gets itself back in sync. You got this.

I had it done to but check this out, the frenulum adhered to the glan (head)and from the trauma of surgery I got Peyronie's disease, yes google it, trauma can cause it, I use to have rough sex, biting on phallus, pain and pleasure, it was hot, but it caused scarring at 47 years old, and it was because of the rough sex that I grew scar tissue which eventually led to phimosis. Now at 62 I need help with Cialis but still grateful I can cum. Stay safe.
