→Frenulum: Add text.
|accessdate=2023-05-10
}}</ref> The [[frenulum]] of the [[penis]], often known simply as the frenulum (from Latin: frēnulum, lit. 'little bridle'), is a thin elastic strip of tissue on the underside (ventral side) of the glans and the neck of the human penis. In men who are not [[circumcised]], it also connects the [[foreskin]] to the [[glans]] and the ventral [[mucosa]].
The frenulum has several important functions. The [[frenular artery]], which supplies blood to the [[glans penis]], passes through the frenulum. The frenulum is erogenous tissue. The frenulum serves to limit retraction of the [[foreskin]].
