>>That's what I think. From what I know the most sensitive part of the penis is not the frenulum itself, but the area of the glans right under the frenulum. Therefore a frenuloplasty in any kind should not decrease the glans sensitivity.
>I don't see the logical connection. For the nerves from the area of the glans you mention, they come out through (and under) the fraenulum. So if it's removed, they are expected to be cut too...

I'm not a doctor of course, but I've talked to a few about it. And I use common logic also. The nerves are concentrated in the glans, including the area beneath the frenulum. The frenulum itself is not a nerve connector (just blood vessel) and cutting it professionaly does not destroy any nerve cells in the glans. On the contrary - the foreskin will now be able to retract smoothly, exposing the very sensitive area under the glans that has been covered by the frenulum till now. This is why some articles on frenuloplasty that I've read claim sensitivity actually increases and the feeling is better after the operation.
