Circumcised penis with frenulectomy (ventral view) (circumcision procedure at birth) Frenulectomy of the penis is a surgical procedure for cutting and removal of the penile frenulum, to correct a condition known as frenulum breve. This condition prevents the full retraction of the foreskin with or without an erection. [1]
The frenulum of the penis, often known simply as the frenulum (from Latin: frēnulum, lit. 'little bridle') or frenum, is a thin elastic strip of tissue on the underside 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.
A frenuloplasty of prepuce of penis (also known as a release of frenulum) is a frenuloplasty of the frenulum of prepuce of penis.

Characterized by a loud popping sound at the time of the injury, the result of the tunica albuginea rupturing.
In males, chastity piercing can be performed in several ways. Through infibulation (piercing the foreskin closed), a Prince Albert or frenulum piercing using a smaller gauge locking mechanism (preventing intercourse), or chaining a Prince Albert piercing to a guiche piercing (thus preventing an erection).
