Changes

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. Tearing the frenulum during penetration is not uncommon. 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.
