Pettit mentions suffocation from "tongue swallowing," both with and without section of the frenum. Schobinger cites a similar instance, due to loosening of the frenum. Analogous to the foregoing phenomenon is the habit of "tongue sucking." Morris mentions a young lady of fifteen who spontaneously dislocated her jaw, owing indirectly to this habit.
By means of this frenum, the woman should remain closed, and children be made in the same manner in which God made the angels, by a pleasure far above carnal pleasure as the heaven is above the earth.

There seems to be an element of heredity in this malformation, and this allegation is exemplified by Sedgwick, who quotes a case from Heuremann in which a family of females had for generations given birth to males with hypospadias. Belloc mentions a man whose urethra terminated at the base of the frenum who had four sons with the same deformity.
This latter case seems hardly warranted when we consider that men afflicted with hypospadias and epispadias have become fathers. Percy gives the instance of a gentleman whom he had known for some time, whose urethra terminated a little below the frenum, as in other persons, but whose glans bulged quite prominently beyond it, rendering urination in the forward direction impossible.
