Men who are circumcised as adults may specify whether or not they wish to preserve their frenulum.

	Some men choose to have the frenulum removed as a form of treatment for [[frenulum breve]], a condition in which the frenulum of the penis is short and restricts the movement of the prepuce, which may or may not interfere with normal sexual activity. Yet, others may choose to have the frenulum removed purely ~~out of~~ cosmetic reasons.
