I am a 35-year-old man, a vegetarian, and I have never smoked, consumed alcohol, or used tobacco. During sexual intercourse, I experience pain in the frenulum of my penis, and the pain becomes more severe after the first or second insertion. What could be the cause of this issue, and how can it be treated?
Pain in the frenulum during intercourse is commonly due to a tight or short frenulum (frenulum breve), small tears from friction, or dryness. Repeated strain can make the pain worse after initial insertion. Using adequate lubrication and avoiding forceful movement may help. It is a common and treatable condition, so do not worry, but do get it checked if pain persists.
