Penis sensitivity
by roblee, Oct 23, 2004 12:00AM
I'm 57 years old and active sexually. I'm circumcised and have noticed over the years that I have lost quite a bit penis head sensitivity. Having to use a condom while having intercourse doesn't help matters any. I have read about foreskin restoration but it seems to be a long process that requires a lot of dedication. Is there any sort of cream or ointment that can be applied to the penis head to restore sensitivity?

Not that I know of. I am afraid I'm not familiar with the condition you're asking me about. Perhaps a neurologist might have something to suggest. I don't know what you mean by foreskin restoration--why would putting on another foreskin increase sensitivity? Do circumcised males have less sensitivity?
I hope I won't offend you if I suggest that your sensation (or lack of it) comes from focusing on your penis and thinking a lot about it, rather than any from true sensory disorder. But again, if there is such a sensory disorder, I haven't heard of it, and would suggest that you be very skeptical about any surgical procedures to address it.
Take care.

I should have done a search before posting my question. I see my concern is addressed on the urology forum. Thank you for your reply.
