Hi guys, this thread on frenulum tying is awesome it has given me the confidence to do my own tie. Ever since I started the SRT 5*5 program, the growth I've gotten has caused my frenulum to tear. I've let the frenulum heal completely since the first tear, but once I started the SRT program again the frenulum tore once more. So I figured I need a frenulum tie to continue the growth I was getting, or stretch until I rip the banjo but that's another level pain tolerance that I tried an failed, the sting I would get just by retracting the foreskin when peeing was too much. I've read this procedure a few times on the forum and judged it to be pretty simple and safe with proper sanitation methods. So far I have a suture kit, betadine, triple antibiotic cream and Zensa 5% lidocaine, topical anesthetic. I should have everything I need to make the first tie. On another note I was wondering if anybody has suggestions, comments, or past experiences on using Lidocaine only anesthetic cream as oppose to EMLA cream( 2.5% Lidocaine & 2.5% Prilocaine) which is the main recommended topical anesthetic to use for this procedure. I can't find the EMLA cream anywhere online or pharmacies without a prescription and finding a doctor to prescribe this cream is very difficult, I talked to a couple and got denied. I was hoping to know if any of you guys used an alternate Lidocaine anesthetic cream that worked or if it hurt mildly, moderate or severe. Also if you didn't use any topical anesthetic for the procedure was there any pain (mild, moderate or severe)?
As of right now I'm planning to use the Zensa 5% lidocaine only cream and find out if the pain will be tolerable or not, all comments, suggestions or past experiences would be very helpful and appreciated!
