Q about frenum (Jady, if you could please answer)

Sign in to disble this ad
yeah, so I've got the opportunity coming up to get a frenum, I've been thinkin about it ever since reading Jady's thread.

my question is: do they really increase sensitivity in that area? Or is the difference negligable?

I'll probably still get one even if it doesn't feel any different, but a perk would be nice...

Another case of misusing the language. Frenum is plural. Frenulum is singular. And it refers to folds of tissue holding things in place. Under the tongue, at the gumline, or in this case, the wang.

But wang piercings are so last decade. I say pierce your liver. How manly would that be? A giant stud all the way through your torso? The ladies would be all over you.

Or just start something new entirely. I say you co-opt another culture and start the lip disking trend. It could be the "tatoos of japanese characters" for the new millennium.

Wouldn't this be cool?

Dude aren't you like 16? Don't you think you should actually enjoy some of your normal sexual career before doing something like that?

It does increase the sensitivity a bit, not a whole bunch but it is noticed. I say go for it but keep a few things in mind. They take a while to heal completely (4-6mo) so it will be tender under "extreme agitation" wink wink. You will also have to be a bit careful during "entrances" to avoid catching it on things (as my wife can attest). It all depends on how vigorous you are .

Let us know how it comes out (or goes in as the case may be)

heh, yeah I know.

me and a friend of mine wanna go get some piercings done, and his cousin runs a tattoo parlor so we are gonna go there.

before I get it done though, I'm gonna ask the guy is he has any experience doing this sorta thing. If the answer is "no" or "not much", I'll find some1 else.

Icon what the **** is wrong with you!!!! I mean come on dude, are you nuts!!!! You know how much that will hurt, and affect yah (while you pee!!). Also who's to say chicks will dig it? I mean Jady musta talked to his wife about it before but damn, it seems something you'd get done after you had done it after a few times.

Well I'll tell you this when you get it done and something goes wrong I'm giving no sympathy, I'm laughing!! And don't call me an @$$hole for it cause I warned yah.

uhh.. no peavey, a frenum doesn't actually pierce the urethra, just the skin beneath it.

and yeah, it'll hurt for the first week or so, but then most piercings do.

and peavey, it wouldn't hurt to be a little more open minded about some things.

People originally thought the africans were insane for getting gauged ears. Now tons of people get em.

I know, but it's your penis, come on thats a pretty big risk.

Watch the piercer say "oops".

*sigh* it's not like you could miss and accidentally go straight through head or anything. It's the loose skin underneath.

Right, the frenum piercing has nothing to do with peeing. Also it doesn't hurt at all, except maybe a bit of mild soreness during the healing period, and of course if a loose bit of string from the inside seam of your jeans wraps around it and you take a long stride... yoicks! But onlly "yoicks" during the initial healing period.

It's one of the least invasive piercings possible, and will leave no noticeable scar if you ever decide to take it out and let it heal over.

precisely. This isn't a permanent life altering event here folks. If I don't like it, I just take it out. No harm done cept for the 40 bux it'll cost to get it done.
