>Hmm, yeah I’ve read a little of the rip and tear cycle…can anyone tell me more…Say I was having sex and it ripped…what would happen….would I be a helpless mess on the bed or something? Would it bleed? Would my cock hang off? Would I have to go to hospital? Etc etc etc…this one thing is worrying me.

My brother got into the whole rip and tear cycle, but luckily it was only for a couple of times (his frenulum was only a little tight) and I've heard accounts from lots of people when they have e-mailed me to ask about when I had the frenulum removed and how it is now etc. Basically, from what I've been told, it's very painful, it bleeds, heals up and the cycle starts again next time and can sometimes keep on doing it unless the issue is dealth with. If you are doing the nasty and it happens, chances are you'll be in too much pain to enjoy what you are doing. Sometimes it will only happen once or twice, other times it can happen a lot more. Some guys go to hospital, some don't need to. I suppose it depends on the tightness of the frenulum and the rippage (did I just make up a new word - rippage?) I recall reading an article in a magazine a couple of years back (I think it was in the health section of FHM or Maxim) about the condition and it said about how common it is for guys with bleeding dicks to turn up in A & E on a Saturday (Saturday must be first sex night or something!) Regardless of what some would have you believe, Jake, it is a real issue - is it dangerous? It certainly can have complications which you'd find undesirable. The frenulum is not the bleeding-girly-bits issue that birds have when the first have sex (if they have'nt broken themselves prior that is) and should not bleed and certainly should not be painful.

I don't mean to sound negative, but I hope this helps bring a different perspective and attention for safety.
