@Smartalk, craptacular:
I have a question about the frenulum tying. I've done some research, and it looks like a lot of people have done it themselves, usually without a lot of complications. Did either of you do it yourselves?
Yes I did it myself twice. Here is my account of how I did it, which I posted on the website:
I tied my own penile frenulum. | tiedfrenulum There are a number of accounts from people who have carried the procedure themselves.
I read about this technique a number of years ago and eventually plucked up the courage to do it, having read a number of informative websites and forums. For the thread I use nylon sewing thread which is fine and very strong with elastic properties., One threaded through the frenulum and pulled tight and the knots tided, the nylon thread contracts thus putting a fair amount of pressure on the frenulum aiding it to cut through the flesh neatly with minimum discomfort. I soaked the thread in antiseptic mouthwash to sterilise it.
I have read that a number of you have found it difficult trying to pierce the frenulum with an ordinary sewing needle. I was able to obtain a hypodermic needle 23 gauge, which is designed to penetrate though skin thus much sharper. The other advantage is the needle being hollow, once pierced through the frenulum, I was able to pass the thread through the inside of the hollow needle, which meant you didnt have to insert the needle very far and didnt have any resistance and discomfort pulling the tread through the frenulum. I then withdrew the needle holding onto the thread at the pointed end of the needle and slid if off the opposite end of the thread. I then tide the knots as tight as i could, with no fear of the thread snapping, due to its tensile strength. I cleaned the area with antiseptic mouthwash 2-3 times daily and would give a gentle tug on the thread. After about a week on tugging the tread it came away in my hand, leaving the frenulum nice and neat and much freer and comfortable on retracting my foreskin.
I am of the opinion that a tight frenulum can be one the causes of premature ejaculation. The frenulum being rich in nerve endings and very sensitive, therefore on penetration the foreskin is drawn back and the frenulum is stretched, This gives rise to extra stimulation to the nerve endings, thus taking you past the point of no return with no means of ejaculatory control. I would be very interested to hear from anyone else who has notice this, please post your thoughts and experiences.
I am now thinking of repeating the process so that my foreskin will retract even further as the technique is simple. straightforward, virtually painless and gives excellent cosmetic results. I for one recommend this technique, particularly as I have had the very painful and very bloody experience of tearing my frenulum whilst having sex Ooooch not to be recommended.
Finally: always always make sure that everything is sterile, carefully avoid piercing or tying off any of the small veins mentioned, Remember the importance of taking your time carrying out the procedure and exercise patience in letting the thread do the job you intended it to do. FINALLY:
. Always wash your hands before doing the procedure and when touching/inspecting the area, Clean the area several time a day with mild antiseptic (in my case antiseptic mouthwash) or salt and water solution. Any sign of infection, unlikely if you take care and look after it properly, go and see your Doctor, somewhat embarrassing, but vital.
