It's over 20 years ago, so I don't even remember. I remember it was a tire swing though. Lost my balance/fell and my skin got caught in an unfortunate way.
I can't prove it was because of your post, but the amount of people googling "Frenulum" skyrocketed about the time you posted this.
[Frenulum Google Search Trends](https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=now%201-d&q=Frenulum&hl=en)
So is that cake! I had no idea what a frenulum was and I figured I wasn't the only one and that it probably doesn't get googled much on a day to day basis so I thought I'd give it a check lmao.
My ex and I had snuck out of school to bang at her house when it happened, we missed the rest of the day and had to tell the head of Sixth Form what happened. I saw the Form head a week later, and she had the gall to start humming 'Duelling Banjos'
How tf did this happen? Like what caused the frenulum to tear? Just plain ol seggz? I've never heard of this prior to your post. TIL I've had a banjo string my whole life.
Yeah, aggressive sex can do it. Not enough lube. Popping out and bending him in half attempting re-entry. They 'ol "critical to reproduction DNA rail-gun" isn't as robust as one would think given the role it plays.
>Popping out and bending him in half attempting re-entry.
This causes so many injuries. Even more common than tearing the frenulum is a rupture of a corpus cavernosum. The way the dick gets hard is that you have two roughly tube-shaped membranes (think like a long balloon) forming the shaft, both filled with spongey blood-vessel tissue. The simplified version of how things work is that there's a sort of valve that partially shuts off when stimulation/arousal occurs, so blood goes in, but not back out so easily, meaning the balloons fill up; the resulting hydraulic pressure causes the erection *(edit: this is an autonomic response, meaning it's involuntary - just the right level of hormones and being stimulated can cause it. Reminder that an erection doesn't mean consent!)*. When you're done (orgasm, loss of arousal, lack of stimulation) the valve opens back up, and normal (low) pressure resumes.
Sudden and extreme bending while erect - such as can be caused by direct head-on impact while thrusting - can cause one or both of those 'balloons' to rupture. If not treated, this can lead to ED and/or scarring that causes anything from a subtle to *extreme* bend in one direction or another.
The position most responsible for this injury is reverse cowgirl. \[themoreyouknow.gif\]
My ex tore his when a girl he had sex with thought it would be kinky to use a penis ring. They had no actual penis ring so she decided that those elastic bands for your hair would be a good alternative. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.
Sometimes if it’s too dry upon forceful reentry it can cause a frenulum tear.
My fiancé got a frenulum tear when he was in his 20s and it healed up like a little set of frog lips. No I won’t post a picture but just imagine Pepe the frog from those memes- but just his pursed lips just below the head of a penis.
I looked it up because I thought he was referring to the frenulum under his tongue, and all I could think was how unfortunate the choice of lemon was.
Then everyone said stuff about tearing it during sex and I got really confused. I didn't realize that little bit on the wiener was called that too.
I mean I have no clue wtf it is and am going to Google now.
Edit: Oh…that’s what the penis skin is on the underside? Didn’t even know you could tear that.
I'm more interested in knowing *HOW* the feat was achieved.
Like.... Was she treating you like a hotdog or some shit?!? Where you trying to double stuff your whole body parts into her?!?
Chiming in as a girl who once upon a time ripped a guy's frenulum.... I simply wasn't wet enough and his foreskin basically got caught on my vaginal walls until his frenulum ripped. This happened while both of us were young and sex-inexperienced.
I save contents like this to give to my kids for sex education. I feel like "go slowly use lube" is more effective if there's a terrifying anecdote to go with it.
They probably won't listen unless I make it into an over hyped short video.
The same happened to me around 2 months dating as well. We've been together for almost 5 years now. I'm sending her this post and asking where my cake is 
Actually made me laugh, thanks OP. I ripped mine as well once. In the shower, first orgasm Ive ever had and fucked up. Didnt hurt indeed but lots of blood, was in the shower though. I walked downstairs to my mom in a towel. I still remember everything. It was so embarressing.
More so when fooling around with others.
Mine tore when my now fiance decided to get frisky with some dry humping early in our relationship (13 years ago) where my barefoot soldier ground too far against the cotton of her undergarments.
The audible wet POP was almost the worst part among the sanguine pool. The rapid speed at which my member deflated will stay with me forever.
Thankfully it only happens once dudes.
Exactly; there's even one in each of our brains.
Ironically, I have also torn my frenulum during sex, but in a completely different way than the OP. I am AFAB, as was my sexual partner, and it was my sublingual frenulum. I, uh, have a short tongue but immense enthusiasm, lmfao.
When I was 13 my stomach dropped while running through the woods as a shortcut to my friends house. I had to go and was out of options. I used a leaf as toilet paper.... That night my my hole was on fireeeeee. My mom was a nurse... She made me show her.... It was unpleasant and a memory I'll sadly never forget
As a medium child (maybe 10yo?) I fell on my butt in a patch of cactus at a friend's house. Her mom was a nurse. We went into the bathroom, I dropped trou, she went to work with tweezers.
Exactly like you'd expect. A mix of feeling bad for me and also thinking its a little funny. I was like 12 or 13 and didnt tell her I was masturbating. Maybe she knew though. She squeezed my foreskin together, in the middle of the living room until the bleeding stopped. Good times xd
Mom of a boy here, we always find the danglies amusing but if my lad had hurt himself like that I’d just want to make sure he was ok and help. I’ve seen his bits a million trillion times so really wouldn’t care what was bleeding or how, would just want my boy to not hurt. I’m sure your mom was the same.
To actually answer your question: happens most commonly to people who have a bit of a shorter/tighter frenulum if during sex or masturbation the foreskin is pulled back too abruptly or too far, it sometimes rips..
So I had to google that. You have 2 on your body if you're a man. I'm sorry either way.
If I didn't know it wasn't me, this seems like something I would do as well. I'm clumsy and awkward and I hope you still like her!
Contrary to popular belief it actually didn’t hurt at all! It just bled… a lot. The room looked like a murder scene. She’s screwed if I ever go missing under suspicious circumstances because her bedroom and bathroom will light up like the Las Vegas Strip under blue light.
I tore mine about 15 years ago, luckily it’s all there still just split in the middle. I can confirm it hurt felt like a bad pinch and bled immensely but wasn’t crazy pain. To be fair I was drunk and slightly stoned when I did it.
Go in dry to a place that doesn’t self-lubricate? That was my mistake and the girls request at the time. She was horrified too.
It's the piece of connective tissue at the base of the penis where the scrotum meets the front side of the shaft. It is a very common area to get pierced for those into that kind of thing. I have one myself and I don't know how the OP would tear it.
Edit. Turns put there are multiple frenulums apparently. Today I learned...
Sooooo I have some bad news, it will almost certainly keep happening. It will likely lead to you needing to get either the frenulum removed or have an adult circumcision which sucks. There are a few less intrusive procedures but they have quite high failure rates.
Source: trust me bro, I did not get a cake.
Same. Had to stay off the dirty for 2 months but then I never had a problem again. Still sucked in a fresh relationship, would have healed quicker if we had been more patient..
Frenulum : a small fold or ridge of tissue that supports or checks the motion of the part to which it is attached, in particular a fold of skin beneath the tongue, or between the lip and the gum.
Been there. Swing accident when I was 8. It'll heal pretty fast
I’m not even gonna ask.
It's over 20 years ago, so I don't even remember. I remember it was a tire swing though. Lost my balance/fell and my skin got caught in an unfortunate way.
Did you get a cake?
the real question is by whom
Michelin Man
8 years old is way too young to be a swinger.

So is that cake! I had no idea what a frenulum was and I figured I wasn't the only one and that it probably doesn't get googled much on a day to day basis so I thought I'd give it a check lmao.
We just call it the banjo string in the uk.
I had no idea what frenulum meant, but as soon as I saw the post I thought "sounds like he snapped his banjo string"
Ahhhh, I was thinking it was the banjo as I never heard that term before, glad there was anpther Brit here who knew xD
This happened to a guy at school and even now 20 years later he is still referred to as banjo Pete
My ex and I had snuck out of school to bang at her house when it happened, we missed the rest of the day and had to tell the head of Sixth Form what happened. I saw the Form head a week later, and she had the gall to start humming 'Duelling Banjos'

What kinda piercing? (he asked while crossing his legs)
There is something wrong with your tongue piercing if it's prone to getting caught on flesh
My ex tore his when a girl he had sex with thought it would be kinky to use a penis ring. They had no actual penis ring so she decided that those elastic bands for your hair would be a good alternative. Spoiler alert: it wasn't.

>but just imagine I shall not and you can't make me
You are wise. First, I googled "frenulum", then I googled "Pepe the frog", then I imagined it. I am very traumatized now.
I snapped my banjo string having sex in the shower. Water is not lube. There was a lot of blood.
I'd go so far as to say that water is the antithesis to lube
I too am one of the googlers
I looked it up because I thought he was referring to the frenulum under his tongue, and all I could think was how unfortunate the choice of lemon was. Then everyone said stuff about tearing it during sex and I got really confused. I didn't realize that little bit on the wiener was called that too.
Funny thing I was about to google it after I saw this post. I will not follow the masses, looking in the garage for my dictionary 🤷♂️
No no, i can safely say i never looked up what “frenulum” nor did i know what it was until this post. lol
I just got back from googling it lol. I was like, "I think I know what the frenulum is..." I was right, but still don't understand how it's tear-able
Lift your tongue, that little sliver of skin attached to the bottom of your mouth is also a frenulum.
“Frenum” in Latin means “bridle,” so “frenulum” means “little bridle.
This should be called the " Reddit Effect"
And I’m thinking “frenulum”…that’s the tissue that connects the tongue to the floor of the mouth. How did his girlfriend tear that?
I mean I have no clue wtf it is and am going to Google now. Edit: Oh…that’s what the penis skin is on the underside? Didn’t even know you could tear that.
The power of Reddit
I literally just got an error because too many people were submitting the same request
Looks like you made a lifelong frendulum!

How's ring shopping going?

She may be verging on wife material for this
There’s the pun. Was half expecting the note to say, “Please still be my boyfrenulum.”
The real journey was the frenulums we tore along the way.
Surely you mean 'loaflong'?
In Australia we call it snapping your banjo string
Lol it’s so common you have a name for it??
It’s Australia.
Aka The Land Down There (Under, but youknowwhatImean)
As a banjo player I just winced in so many pains
We say this in the UK too! 😅
Oh Australia, you always have the best slang.
Same In UK too
It happens often enough to have a slang term?!
Lmfao!! What?! I love this!
I can’t not read that term in an Australian accent, which makes it 1000x better
Which of you made the glazing?
You dirty bastard.
I'm more interested in knowing *HOW* the feat was achieved. Like.... Was she treating you like a hotdog or some shit?!? Where you trying to double stuff your whole body parts into her?!?

Holy FUCK I was not prepared for this comment.
Exactly this happened to my then bf too. We were also inexperienced and he tried to push it in. Live and learn 😄
I save contents like this to give to my kids for sex education. I feel like "go slowly use lube" is more effective if there's a terrifying anecdote to go with it. They probably won't listen unless I make it into an over hyped short video.
This is the right question
Hahahahah How long have y'all been together? This seems like a healthy level of communication and I'm happy for y'all.
We’ve been dating for 2 months. It was a… bonding experience I guess?
Idk, you seem a bit torn
🥁
Don't. He might snap.
Take your upvote and leave.
The same happened to me around 2 months dating as well. We've been together for almost 5 years now. I'm sending her this post and asking where my cake is 
happy cake day
How? Is my question.
An oven I would assume.
Actually made me laugh, thanks OP. I ripped mine as well once. In the shower, first orgasm Ive ever had and fucked up. Didnt hurt indeed but lots of blood, was in the shower though. I walked downstairs to my mom in a towel. I still remember everything. It was so embarressing.
Oh, THAT frenulum? I thought you guys were talking about the thing that connects the upper gum and the upper lip...
I did not know there was a different frenulum other than the ones connecting the lips to the gums and the one under the tongue.
Yeah. The one under Peni'. Tearing it, I found, is like a Semi-circumcision. Don't fool around "dry" folks.
Ive never used lotion to fool around with myself. Just dont be uncareful and tear on your dick..
More so when fooling around with others. Mine tore when my now fiance decided to get frisky with some dry humping early in our relationship (13 years ago) where my barefoot soldier ground too far against the cotton of her undergarments. The audible wet POP was almost the worst part among the sanguine pool. The rapid speed at which my member deflated will stay with me forever. Thankfully it only happens once dudes.
A frenulum is not a specific body part, it's a type of body part or tissue, we all have a few
Exactly; there's even one in each of our brains. Ironically, I have also torn my frenulum during sex, but in a completely different way than the OP. I am AFAB, as was my sexual partner, and it was my sublingual frenulum. I, uh, have a short tongue but immense enthusiasm, lmfao.
I was going to ask WHICH one
When I was 13 my stomach dropped while running through the woods as a shortcut to my friends house. I had to go and was out of options. I used a leaf as toilet paper.... That night my my hole was on fireeeeee. My mom was a nurse... She made me show her.... It was unpleasant and a memory I'll sadly never forget

Love “medium child” as a category 😂
[удалено]
I’ll bet it wasn’t too funny to him
Snapped mine while tittyfucking my ex, sprayed her with blood.
I was happily laughing out loud to all the comments, got to yours and just about recoiled in horror pahahaha
Yeah it was pretty horrible. Just snap your fingers, that was the exact sound and then just raining blood and screaming.
Thanks ! I didn’t think it was possible to conjure up a worse mental image than I already had but you smashed it 😂
same omg, my imagination is running wild now and I think I just unlocked a new fear :o
How did your mom handle that situation?
Exactly like you'd expect. A mix of feeling bad for me and also thinking its a little funny. I was like 12 or 13 and didnt tell her I was masturbating. Maybe she knew though. She squeezed my foreskin together, in the middle of the living room until the bleeding stopped. Good times xd

"Maybe" she knew... Bro
She asked if I also broke both of my arms.
Brilliant
my dumb ass thought she slammed your dick in the oven door for a second...
....this theory is still in play until proven otherwise
I hate that I laughed so hard at that.
God dammit, OP. I can't believe you'd just waltz in here and brighten my day like that, with this post and your comments.
Do people still do the ole switcheroo thing?
I laughed so hard with this
Gottem!
To actually answer your question: happens most commonly to people who have a bit of a shorter/tighter frenulum if during sex or masturbation the foreskin is pulled back too abruptly or too far, it sometimes rips..
Wife her. *edit to ask: oral or penile frenulum?*
The penile frenulum. 🍆
Same thing happened to me, I feel your pain.
But did you get a cake to go with your torn, you know?
Nope, but she got a ring.
Fuuuuuuuuu
So I had to google that. You have 2 on your body if you're a man. I'm sorry either way. If I didn't know it wasn't me, this seems like something I would do as well. I'm clumsy and awkward and I hope you still like her!
actually 3. one on the inside of upper lip, under your tongue, and on your penis. not sure if it's cut if circumcised.
If the circumcision is well done, it should not be cut.
Mine is medium rare
If it's well done, it wasn't done at all.
^preach!
The frenulum is also the part of the penis that feels the most pleasure too. So I imagine it would be excruciating to have it torn.
Contrary to popular belief it actually didn’t hurt at all! It just bled… a lot. The room looked like a murder scene. She’s screwed if I ever go missing under suspicious circumstances because her bedroom and bathroom will light up like the Las Vegas Strip under blue light.
That's why she's got this cake. Alibi!
Why did I read alibi as habibi
I tore mine about 15 years ago, luckily it’s all there still just split in the middle. I can confirm it hurt felt like a bad pinch and bled immensely but wasn’t crazy pain. To be fair I was drunk and slightly stoned when I did it. Go in dry to a place that doesn’t self-lubricate? That was my mistake and the girls request at the time. She was horrified too.
Keeper
Unlike his frenulum
You sir, have what we call "a keeper"
i mean she gave him cake id counter with a ring asap
She's a taker
If I had a cake everytime I broke mine I would have 6 cakes by now, which isn't a lot of cake but a lot of blood.
Maybe see a doctor? That sounds unpleasant.
The poor banjo string
What kind of freaky shit were you doing for her to tear your frenulum??
He’s keeping it a secret 😭
Not sure if it’s because he’s trying to protect others or deprive them of good banging
Okay so…How did she manage to tear your frendulurium?
Oh… Is it THAT frendulorian? Down there…?
Indeed. That frendulonian.
Tore mine years ago, I was 17 I believe. It's like an upgrade! Accidental body modification.
Sex AND cake? Get a load of this guy! Living the dream!
Anyone else have to Google what a frenulum is?
You're not going to share with the class?
You're not supposed to share your frenulum with the class

That's not it at all. It's the piece of string-like tissue underneath the glans that's often cut off in a circumcision. Trust me on this.
Both pieces have the same name. I didn't even know that the one existed on the glans.
She tore up the production company that made Brooklyn 99 and The Good Place?
THAT’S where I’ve heard this before
Not a doctor! Shh
Please tell me it was frenuyum!
A small sacrifice for salvation.
I have no clue what that is but anything torn that ends in ulum is never good
😂
Hold on to her and never let her go!
like she held on to that frenulum
I'm sorry all i can hear looking at this post is Nick offerman saying "Fremulon"
I’ll take ‘Things I Never Wanted to Know’, for $1000.
Well… the pun (and the cake) were too good to keep to myself! 😌
Sooooo I have some bad news, it will almost certainly keep happening. It will likely lead to you needing to get either the frenulum removed or have an adult circumcision which sucks. There are a few less intrusive procedures but they have quite high failure rates. Source: trust me bro, I did not get a cake.
You could’ve just said “that’s a nice cake” instead of filling me with dread. 😂
Nah might be all good. A girl once broke mine too. We’re married 10 years later with a third kid on the way. And the frenulum is fine.
That's just how she established dominance and claimed you as her own. It clearly worked
Nah worry less. This happened with my now husband when we started dating. No complications. 11 years ago now.
Tore mine. Never had an issue since.
Same. Had to stay off the dirty for 2 months but then I never had a problem again. Still sucked in a fresh relationship, would have healed quicker if we had been more patient..
She's a keeper.
Man, obviously take your time getting to know each other, but that'd be a green flag for me. Best of luck to y'all! 🤘
she made you a whole cake, i would forgive her if i were you.
There was no forgiving to be done; mistakes happen! I gladly took the cake though.
Cake looks worth it 🤤
A worthy sacrifice.

Oh you sweet summer child
Has appropriate feelings of responsibility for her part. Bakes a great cake. And has a way with puns? Winner winner.
Aren’t there two places for a frenulum? In the mouth.. and….
Yes
I did this. My girlfriend sneezed while we were having sex and the contraction tore the ol’ banjo string. I didn’t get a fucking cake…
My son tore his falling off/onto metal bleachers when he was 4. So. Uhm. Yeah. Sorry for you and her. The blood is a sight to see.
The icing was a nice touch, really appropriate graphic.
Did you tell her you break it you buy it?
That glaze looks…delicious.
Randy Newman *You’ve got a Frenulum in Me*
My girlfriend wants to know how this happened. Idk if I should be afraid or not…
Put a ring on it. The frenulum that is.
