Answers to common questions about prepuce and frenulum:

The prepuce (also called foreskin) is the loose-fitting skin covering the glans of the penis. If the extremity of the prepuce is too tight, the glans cannot be uncover (see male anatomy), and this is called a phimosis.

1- I am 25 years old and I never had sexual relation. My problem is that I cannot fully uncover the glans of my penis when I masturbate, it is too sensitive. Do you think that I will have problem during sexual relation with a partner?

Yes, I think that you might be in pain during penetration. This pain, when you try to uncover your glans can have a link with phimosis (tightness of the foreskin, which prevents it from being moved back over the head of the penis) . You need to see your doctor in order to plan a little surgical act.

2- My foreskin is too tight and when I masturbate, I cannot pull back my foreskin over the head of my penis. During sexual relation, it is very painful and I ejaculate quite quickly. What should I do?

It might be a phimosis. If you cannot uncover your glans, you need to see your doctor, because this will be uncomfortable during your personal hygiene. Besides, the pain that you feel during penetration can be responsible of premature ejaculation.

3- I have a short frenulum, that pull on my glans when I penetrate my partner and I ejaculate quickly. My doctor told me that with a surgical act I could ejaculate less quickly and that it will be less sensitive. Is this surgical act will have other consequences on my sexuality?

Your doctor is right and this simple surgical act will not have any other consequences on your sexuality. However, it is not guaranty that this surgery will solve your premature ejaculation.

4- During a hard sexual relation, my frenulum get broken whereas I am not anymore virgin since a long time. What can I do?

Do not worry it will cure by itself. You can use an alcohol free disinfectant. It takes about 8 days to heal so you will have to wait at least 8 days before new sexual relations.

5- Does circumcision favor sensations during penetration?

No, because uncovered glans becomes less sensitive compare to permanently covered glans. Circumcision can decrease premature ejaculation because of the glans is less sensitive. However, this decreasing sensitivity of the glans does not alter the sexual pleasure during penetration

6- My boyfriend is in pain during penetration and often he has to move back his foreskin over the head of his penis. Is it normal?

During the first sexual relation, it is frequent. Your boyfriend needs to get use to uncover his glans every day when he does his personal hygiene. If the pain persists, he needs to see a doctor to see if he does not have a phimosis and if it is the case a little surgical act will be necessary.

7- Which cream could be used to cure adult phimosis?

It is impossible to cure phimosis with creams whatever the phimosis. Only a surgical act can treat this problem. I advise you to see your doctor.

8- My frenulum is link to my glans. Is it normal?

Yes, it is normal because frenulum normally links the prepuce to the internal face of the glans.
