==Protection of the frenulum== | |||
Tearing the frenulum during penetration is not uncommon. Men with a short frenulum should observe precautions when penetrating their partner. When penetration occurs the vaginal wall will tend to push the foreskin to a retracted position and that is likely to strain the frenulum and may cause it to tear. The frenular artery, which supplies blood to the [[glans penis]], passes through the frenulum. If it is torn, significant bleeding may occur. | |||
Men should delay penetration until foreplay has sexually aroused the partner and caused her to be lubricated. If her [[vagina]] does not lubricate, then personal lubricant should be applied prior to penetration. One should penetrate slowly and carefully to avoid placing excessive strain on the frenulum. | |||
