The frenulum is a sheet of skin located on the underside of the penis that joins the glans – the head of the penis – with the foreskin, the hood of skin that covers it. Its function is none other than to protect the glans , apart from facilitating the movement of the foreskin during sexual intercourse. It is not, as previously thought, a male equivalent of the female hymen that breaks during loss of virginity. Similar in appearance to the one we have under the tongue, this kind of penile stop can cause discomfort and even pain during intercourse, if its length is very short. This problem is solved with a simple surgery. In circumcision, the frenulum is usually removed along with the foreskin.
