As an answer to: Short Frenulum and phimosis written by Bill at 07 Apr 2003 08:51:05:
>i recently realized that phimosis is not common, after searching around the web i found out that i have what i think is a short frenulum and phimosis. the frenulum attaches to the head of my penis just below the hole, which i think is causing the phimosis.
A tight, unretractable foreskin is not caused by the frenum, but by a narrowing of the preputial orifice. The frenum is designed to act as a spring. Whether or not it is short cannot be determined until your foreskin becomes somewhat retractable. There are exercises to stretch both orifice and frenum. See Jim's post below.
but the hole in my foreskin doesnt appear to be large enough to retract over the head, even if the frenulum wasnt so short. the frenulum has never ripped, probably because the phimosis wont allow it to stretch far enough to tear. anybody else experience anything like this?
If your foreskin can be retracted, but not "far enough", you are ahead of many men, whose opening sometimes exceeds less than a quarter inch in diameter. What is the extreme diameter of your preputial orifice?
i was also wondering if this condition might cause premature ejaculation,, thanks for the help.No...If anything it would inhibit ejaculation, by not allowing free, dynamic movement of the foreskin. If you are of a young age, of course, your penis is particularly 'alive'. It will settle down, somewhat, with time and use. Just enjoy the experience while it lasts!
