Brief Answer:
Not to worry if there is no bleeding.

Detailed Answer:
Hi.
Thanks for your query.
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
This is normal in many males to have tear of frenulum of penis also called as Banjo string during masturbation or sex.
Since this is thin in most of the males it does tear and in fact helps by releasing the tension on this part so that one enjoys sex once it is well healed. Sometimes we do frenuloplasty operation if there is need to release this to have normal painless sex in future.
Hence not to worry if the bleeding has stopped.
Apply liquid povidone iodine locally for avoiding infection.
If the bleeding is still there one may need a single stitch and then consulting your Doctor, preferably a General Surgeon is advisable.
You may post the fresh photos of the affected area - let the photos be clear and focused.
This is anatomical structure of no importance.
There is no special use of this structure.

I hope this answers your queries.
Feel free to ask for further relevant queries if you feel that there is a gap of communication.
