Meatotomy

Meatotomy is a form of penile modification in which the underside of the glans penis is split. The procedure may be performed by a doctor to alleviate urethral stricture, or by a body modification practitioner for the purpose of sexual pleasure or aesthetics. A meatotomy can also result from a Prince Albert piercing ripping out. For some men, a greater sensation may be achieved with exposure of and access to the urethra due to the abundance of nerves.
