What is the frenulum on the penis?
The frenulum of the penis is an elastic skin fold that connects the bottom of the glans (penis head) to the inside surface of the foreskin. Its purpose is to assist the foreskin in contracting over the glans. In some circumstances men may have a short frenulum which creates painful sex or pain on erection. This can be medically treated.
