Question : I tore my frenulum right across from having intercourse regularly with my girlfriend. We've been together for 7 months and takes birth control so I never used a condom. I've been trying to let it heal and I've gone about two weeks without sex but how long will it take to completely heal ? Will sex feel the same way it did before once it does heal ? And what can I use to speed up my process ? Thank you
