Should I Have My Frenulum Removed?

Incredibly helpful - and detailed - thank you so.
I will definitely, at the very least, look at getting the frenulum removed. Based on all you say here - I am extremely tempted to get a full circumcision too.
Thank you!

No problem, happy to help! :)

I would say take your time and consider all options available. Based on your replies here I understand that you would be very inclined to have your frenulum removed. That opens up other options, including having a circumcision as part of the same procedure. For me the decision boiled down to “might as well get the whole thing sorted for once if I am having the frenectomy anyway”, but there were some personal, medical and sexual factors at play (my partner having a strong preference for circumcised men) that tipped the scale that way. It isn’t an easy decision to make, but given that you did bring up circumcision, I think it would be worth making a decision on whether you would like to be circumcised or not before going ahead with the frenectomy.

There are not many differences in healing time, pain management, or even cost between having just a frenectomy and going for a full circumcision. In other words, if you are set on the frenectomy, there is very little extra cost in going for a circumcision as part of the same procedure. In my case the issues with my frenulum were a good opportunity to get circumcised. I would have probably been very sceptical to have a circumcision if it weren’t for my tight frenulum. I am very happy with the outcome and it is one of the best things I’ve done for my sex life.

Sounds very very tempting to just do the whole thing. I am leaning circumcision!
 
I use to have mines, but I removed it myself Fall 2017. Did the poke and tight tie off procedure.
There's good and bad parts of it. Not sure which one is significant to you.
I like to pump up and stretch my dick, so the frenum was making it uneasy to grasp.
By cutting it, the skin pulls completely back making it a more even pump and easier to grasp for a pulling stretch.

The downside is that I now have reduce sensitivity on the frenum's area in regards to how it was before.
There isn't the slight tug on the penis head with you're jerking or fucking as the loose skin moves.
I really do miss that feeling at times when penetrating during sex, but also love the current aesthetics.

My suggestion would be to try and stretch it as much as you can first. If I could go back, I would try that first before the current modification. Hope this helps ya decide.
 
Do you have any pictures at all?
how did you request ‘ultra low’ and removal of inner skin?

I performed that myself. It just needed a darning needle and some stretchy nylon jewellery thread. Took 11 days to cut through and then it was pretty much good as new.

Before and after circumcision. Low and tight.

The underside of my low and tight.

I wanted high and tight for my first circ. The doc gave me a pretty loose cut and i had this swelling on the inner skin that never went away. I used a penis pump for a while before i was circumcised and I think it stretched my skin out of shape permanently, circumferentially, so my shaft skin is now a bit loose girth wise even though it's tight length wise. I think that's what caused the swelling in my inner skin to never go away (even a year after the operation).

I went back for a 2nd circ, being conservative, thinking that just removing a little skin and a little inner skin would give me the tightness I wanted and sort out the swelling. It didn't. I still wasn't all that tight and the remaining inner skin (now about 15mm) was still swollen. I eventually went back for a 3rd operation to have all the inner skin removed. I wanted it tighter than this but I had a vein near the scar which the surgeon didn't want to touch so I'm now pretty tight but not ultra tight. I have about 5mm of inner skin left on average and it means I feel a lot less. By the time I went for my 3rd circ I wanted to be as tight as possible and as low as possible, the idea of a low and tight really appealed to me in a way that it hadn't done at the time of the initial circ. I wanted the scar to be right against the glans and he left me with 5mm. Maybe I could have spoken up when he was drawing the lines on my dick before the operation, gotten him to trim off a few more mm.

I've seen guys with lower cuts and guys with tighter cuts but I'm not certain if I've seen a guy who is both lower and tighter than me, so I'm definitely in the uppermost percentiles of extreme circumcisions. I guess I get a little circumcision envy when I see a guy who is lower or tighter than me. Optimally I would like that 5mm removed too and also an additional 2cm of skin removed but at my 3rd op the doctor (same doctor each time) specifically said to me, half jokingly, "I don't think you could get any more removed". So I might struggle to find a surgeon who could give me the next level of circ that I'm after, although I'm confident that it is doable. I guess with guys like me it becomes like how some people are with piercings and tatoos, always hungry for the next level up. Always wanting more. It looks fine and works great. I don't feel like I've butchered myself or anything.

It sounds like you're definitely hankering for a full on circumcision. I was too, for the 11 years that I was skinned back, but I was too anxious and too poor to get it. I would definitely recommend you go for it. I would also recommend an ultra low and tight like me. You'll probably last longer (an additional 10 minutes seems to be a common result). It's the most attractive style (IMO). The outer skin doesn't wrinkle up like the inner skin does so you get a tighter smoother result. The healing goes a lot better because you don't have problems with the inner skin swelling up (because there isn't any inner skin). Also as someone else said, if you're going to pay for a frenectomy and you think you probably want a circ too then there isn't much reason not to get a full on circ. Just like you found with the frenulum, i found the sensitivity of my inner skin to be a bit annoying rather than entirely pleasurable so I decided I would like the feeling of my dick without my inner skin, and I was right, I do. A simple test is to stroke your inner skin and outer skin. Which feels better to you? Would you prefer a dick covered in inner skin or outer skin? If you prefer the inner skin then you want the highest cut you can get. If you're like me and find the inner skin kind of annoying then you want the scar to be right in the groove below the glans. I don't think there's any advantage to a moderate circumcision. Just decide which type of skin you prefer and go for the max.

Incredibly helpful indeed.
I love the idea of going for the max - and I am very much leaving this way now after all the advice and recommendations on here.

I still feel I don’t have a good and clear definition of high vs. low - would appreciate more detail from folks, and - if possible - pics.
Thanks, all of you!

Very helpful indeed - although I may get a doc to simply do the frenulum removal anyway.

Unclear to me the differences and details of internal and external foreskin, too...
Thanks, all of you!

Just roll your foreskin back tight. The stuff close to your glans is pink and thin and sensitive. That's inner skin. THe stuff closer to the base of your penis is thicker and more yellowy and less sensitive. That's outer skin. You have 2 types of skin on your dick which look and feel a bit different. High vs low is just a question of retaining more inner skin (scar maybe 1 inch from the glans) versus removing all inner skin (scar right next to the glans).
 
Not sure why you would want to remove your frenulum? It's such a pleasure point. I experience some of my most pleasurable ejaculations by just playing and caressing my frenulum.
It’s almost the opposite for me. It is both irritating and in the way. Happy that yours is good though!
I think I’ll lose mine.

Thank you so much!
And tell me more about your own re-circumcision? What style/when/how was it?
Thanks!
 
High and tight Surgery went well no pain, went home and took it easy first day and then normal activity. Love it now. Would not want it any other way.
High and tight does sound - and look - especially good to me.
So they removed both inner and outer skin - as well as shaft skin - and scar is half way down?
 
I had a partial circumcision when I was 17 because of a tight forskin, but my frenulum was left intact. I get an instant erection when I think of the whole procedure. I got a local anesthetic and a nurse performed it. There is something to be said about watching a procedure being done to your penis!

oh yes! I fully plan to just have a local anesthetic. I want to see!

Frenulectomy is particularly suitable for intact foreskins. Because you can move the foreskin much freer through this procedure. That is, in masturbation, the full stroke can be exploited. That's why you can use your foreskin like a vagina and optimally stimulate the glans. In addition, the foreskin remains in the withdrawn state where I want it. When the frenulum is gone, it does not stretch when pumping the penis. I removed my Frenulum Praeputii many years ago myself and am very satisfied with the result. I have not been able to determine any emotional losses. I therefore believe that I can recommend this procedure to any uncircumcised masturbator.

Here are 4 pictures of my frenulum.
I am uncut - but like to roll back most of the time (I’ve even considered circumcision)
What do you think about how this looks right now?
It is kind of tight - and the sensitivity it has is not one that helps me sexually.
I have read about frenulectomy and frenuloplasty.
I’m intrigued and keen!
Can anyone offer any thoughts, advice, experiences, suggestions?
Thanks for the feedback!
Nice as is. I think you would lose sensitivity if frenulum is removed. And definitely would not get a circ! But that’s just me.
