>>Ive recently noticed that there seems to be a piece of skin attatched to my frenulum which is preventing me from keeping my foreskin retracted.

>>Do you think it's a skin bridge attatched to my frenulum, or is it frenulum breve?
>Without seeing it, is's hard to say, but you may be describing a natural "line" which more of less divides the left from the right. It runs across the scrotum and up the penis, ending at the frenulum. It could be of a different shade of color from the shaft of the penis. In some guys, it may even be slightly crooked. This particular line would not hamper retraction.
>Difficulty in retraction could be due to a short frenulum or a tight foreskin. In either case, you need to practice retraction more often. Each time you use the bathroom, pull the skin back as far as it will go. Do it also when you shower. With continued effort the skin will relax and become more flexible.

could it be just that part of my frenulum has hardened, becuase I didnt retract it fully untill i was about 15?

I dont think it's a short frenulum, because i suffer no pain when i hold it back myslef, but i can see the white band connected to my frenulum is tort, and when i release it, it pulls the foreskin to just beneathe my glans.

Thanks for your help
