Directed in 1999 by David Fincher, '''Fight Club''' is a movie about a group of disenfranchised men trying to regain a sense of purpose in the world. It is based on the book of the same name by Chuck Palahniuk.
A '''frenum piercing''' is a [[Piercing|piercing]] performed through the surface [[Skin|skin]] of the shaft of the [[Penis|penis]] just under the glans, but not entering the [[Urethra|urethra]] or the shaft core. The piercing is done across (transversely) to the shaft (see the picture on the bottom right, below), but the term is sometimes extended (incorrectly) to include piercings running longitudinally (parallel to the length of the shaft) elsewhere on the penis.
 
Along with a [[Prince Albert Piercing|PA]], a frenum piercing is considered an "easy" male genital piercing in that it is generally found to be one of the least painful [[Male genital piercings|male genital piercings]].
 
Variations on the frenum include the [[Frenum ladder|frenum ladder]] (third picture, first row), a series of piercings, often along the dorsal mid-line or raphé (the mid-line on the underside of the penis), or the [[Frenum loop|frenum loop]] (first picture, second row), where a single ring is attached by a frenum piercing and encircles the shaft.


While most of the plot is not particularly relevant to body modification, one scene is.  At one point, Brad Pitt's character uses [[Lye]] to give a lip-shaped [[Chemical scarification]] to Edward Norton's character. While technically possible to brand using lye (there are at least two examples in the BME archives), it is not a particularly effective or controllable means of [[Scarification]]. Furthermore, it does ''not'' produce results like those seen in the film. Typical results, far from being heavily raised and puckered like those in the film, tend to be barely raised (if at all) and only slightly colored when healed.

Frenum with barbell piercing

A frenum piercing is a piercing performed through the surface skin of the shaft of the penis just under the glans, but not entering the urethra or the shaft core. The piercing is done across (transversely) to the shaft (see the picture on the bottom right, below), but the term is sometimes extended (incorrectly) to include piercings running longitudinally (parallel to the length of the shaft) elsewhere on the penis.

Along with a PA, a frenum piercing is considered an "easy" male genital piercing in that it is generally found to be one of the least painful male genital piercings.

Variations on the frenum include the frenum ladder (third picture, first row), a series of piercings, often along the dorsal mid-line or raphé (the mid-line on the underside of the penis), or the frenum loop (first picture, second row), where a single ring is attached by a frenum piercing and encircles the shaft.
