Frenulum Breve

Written by Simon at 01 Apr 2002 12:37:42:

I always have had problems with my foreskin. I have never been able to pull it right back. When I try I become very sore. My skin is normal. I do seem to have excess foreskin - a little tip at the top of my penis. I have scanned a few websites to find information to help with this and I think I have what is called "frenulum breve".

I was wondering if anyone else here has a similar problem.

The best way of describing this is when I am erect I find that although there is some stretching of the foreskin on the front of the penis, while the back or behind of the penis, the foreskin seems to move, but then only so far and then stick in one place, so far back - not far behind the slit on top of the penis and then slide forward again after erection. There is a string attached between the foreskin and the inner penis that seems to be too short to allow full retraction.

I will say that during masturbation this causes no pain or difficulty. I know the foreskin wont fully retract so I dont try. I just move the foreskin up and down and this seems to do the trick :-)

What I am worried about is that when I have intercourse (I am a virgin) the frenulum will bring painful problems to me if the skin is pulled back in any way. Reading the messages in this forum I understand that maybe if there is natural lubrication between partners that this wont be a problem anyway. Or basically I wont know til I try and then if there is pain, it will be very traumatic for me.

I hope someone can help, as I am becoming very upset about this situation. Reply here or via my email, which I prefer, but I dont mind. Thanks.
