Not least because he didn't see it erect (which is the only state in which there is a problem) but also because all the anti-circumcision sites say that the frenulum (like the foreskin) is extremely important for sexual sensation.

Let’s disregard that part for a while.

> From all the phimosis and frenulum breve information I have seen on line I have come to the conclusion that (in my case anyway) the reason I am unable to retract past the corona and the reason my foreskin is too tight is that the frenear band at the join from inner-outer foreskin is to tight, this and/or the frenulum needs lengthening.

So, we have a self-diagnosis, which is not a bad thing ;) Let’s look further.

> I am going to try stretching (http://www.foreskin.org/frenulum.htm) but I am worried because I have heard that this can't work.

Well, obviously if you (I’m talking to both of you, JD and Matt), have stretched the foreskin, you have a good reason to at least give the frenulum a try, isn’t it so? If it doesn’t react in any way (which I personally doubt), then c’est la vie! But really, try pulling the foreskin outwards (forwards) and focus on the bottom area. Do it for some weeks and see if there is any difference.

>I don't want to put of the opp just to have my Girlfriend snap my frenulum and have to get the surgery anyway.

Mine ripped when I was 14 and never ever again.
