Genital bisection
Encyclopedia
Genital bisection in males involves the splitting of the penis
(and occasionally the scrotum
as well). This still allows for erection
, though often the two halves curve into each other, making insertion more difficult.
Genital bisection is an extension of a subincision
, which is an extension of a meatotomy
. As the urethra
is exposed, some pleasure can be derived, due to the great abundance of nerves. This is why those who undergo previous procedures may choose to take it further, though in some cases the bisection might be done all at once.
Variations include keeping the glans
intact so that only the penile shaft is bisected.

Scrotum
In some male mammals the scrotum is a dual-chambered protuberance of skin and muscle containing the testicles and divided by a septum.

Meatotomy
A meatotomy is a form of penile modification in which the underside of the glans is split. The procedure may be performed by a doctor to alleviate meatal stenosis or urethral stricture...
