The piercing of the Fraenulum is probably the second-most popular male genital
piercing, it is usually incorrectly referred to as a "Frenum" piercing
but this an abbreviated version of the true word Fraenulum . The Fraenulum is
the small ridge of flesh joining the foreskin to the Glans of the penis, in most
cases circumcision removes or destroys it, however in rare cases it still exists
after circumcision. I can only find one account of it occurring amongst tribal
people.
"Amongst the Timorese of Indonesia, the Frenulum beneath the glans penis
is pierced with brass rings, the function of the ring is to enhance stimulation
during sex."
