im going to have a circumcision! what will happen to my frenelum??

Answer 1

First, congratulations on your forthcoming circumcision. There are many of us girls who much prefer our men that way.

The matter of excising the frenulum is usually optional and is one you should discuss with your doctor. The frenulum is, functionally, a hinge. With no foreskin your physical need for this portion of your penis will be gone. If you are a male whose frenulum is too tight, it can be loosened when they circumcise you, or it can be more fully excised.

Some guys claim, however, because they feel it is such a senstive portion of their anatomy, they want to keep it. The frenulum is not the same matter of concern for me that a foreskin is.

Put simply, discuss this with your doctor. At the end of the day, it is your choice.

Answer 2

It depends on the doctor, some will remove it while others will try to keep as much of it as possible. Since the frenulum is perhaps the most sensitive part left on a circumcised penis, it might be a good idea to tell your doctor to try to leave it alone. While you're at it, it might also be a good idea to try to preserve as much of the "inner foreskin" as possible as that has even more nerve endings than the frenulum (albeit not as concentrated).

There are many variations of circumcisions, and you should be very sure that either this is what you want or there's absolutely no medical alternative (if it's a health-related problem). The link below might help you (warning, there are graphic pics).

Answer 3

Better ask the butcher -- uh, doctor -- who's going to do the operation, as some take it and some don't. Circumcision is almost always a mistake. Have you really read the advice you were given from your earlier questions? Go back and read what Jorge wrote -- he is wise and knowledgeable. Circumcision will PERMANENTLY decrease your pleasure in sex and masturbation, and there are other, non-invasive, solutions to your problems.

Answer 4

As others said, it depends on the doctor and you. If you don't tell him anything, he may or may not remove it.

I looked up your previous posts and noticed that you're having a problem with your frenulum (tight one?). Why don't you just skip circumcision for now and ask the doctor to only remove the frenulum? I say that because that surgery should be much cheaper, and recovery will be much easier (since it only deals with a small area compared to all around the head/shaft with circumcision). Also, doing that will allow you to experience a foreskin without that frenulum problem. If you don't like the result, you can always get the full circumcision anytime.. It'll also allow you to skip circumcisions risks...

Circumcision is extremely painful.

The USA is the last advanced nation doing it, but rates have fallen down from over 90% in the 1960s to as low as 21% here in California currently. From CNN:

Circumcision was actually promoted in the USA at first to stop masturbation (in hopes of it being tight enough to require lubes and not have skin to slide since the foreskin is already moist)

So consider it. You pretty much have nothing to lose by going that way. It's like taking gradual steps (because you can't reverse any of these surgeries...)

Answer 5

It could very well be damaged.
Look up 'freulum/circumcision' on Google, and do a little research before you get surgery!

Answer 7

You can choose to keep it or have it removed.
