Frenulum

A frenulum is a small fold of tissue that connects two parts of an organ, limiting its movement. In sexual anatomy, there are two notable frenula: the frenulum of the penis and the frenulum of the clitoris. The penile frenulum is a highly sensitive band of tissue on the underside of the penis that connects the foreskin to the glans. The clitoral frenulum connects the clitoral hood to the inner labia.

Additional Information

Both the penile and clitoral frenula are considered erogenous zones due to their high concentration of nerve endings. They play a role in sexual pleasure and can be particularly sensitive to touch and stimulation. In some cases, a short or tight frenulum (called frenulum breve) can cause discomfort during sexual activity and may require medical attention.
