Very poor Sensitivity in the penis and head

by jkd2006, Apr 26, 2009 03:08AM
Hi,

I am in my late twenties, and have had issues with sensitivity for the past 2-3 years... I basically do not feel much during oral intercourse with girls. I only start experiencing real pleasure and feelings about 1 minute before ejaculation. Sometimes I can't maintain an erection for more than 1 minute because I can't feel anything... it is really affecting my sexual life.

I have no "known" medical conditions and I am pretty healthy overall. I run and go to the gym 3-4 times weekly and I do not smoke/nor take drugs.

I have been to 2 different urologists for this problem and no one gave me a satisfying diagnosis...

The first one felt my prostate (for any enlargement) and checked my testicles and said everything was fine. He also asked me some questions about general health and then concluded it was psychological. He said here is some Cialis, take it this week-end and masturbate once or twice per day and see if it does any good. I tried it and it did give me a strong erection but the sensitivity issue was even worse, I could barely feel anything, it wasn't pleasurable at all. Also, during the night I had very hard erections that made it almost impossible to sleep. So I stopped taking it...

The 2nd urologist ran some general health tests and then said that everything was fine physically and that I needed to see a sexologist, because he was pretty sure it was psychological. To be honest he seemed a little bit on a rush and didn't take the time to listen to me ... I thought he was very unprofessional.

I decided to take the matter in my own hands and do my own research online. I found out that nerve damage can cause lack of sensitivity and erectile problems, and it makes a lot of sense to me.. I found out about this test called Bulbocavernosus reflex to check how healthy the nerve is. I tried it today and I felt no contraction of the anus... which leads me to think that I have nerve damage in that region... however, I am not sure if I did the test properly, how hard should I press on the head? Also, should the penis be erect, flaccid or in-between state?

What measures can one take to help heal that nerve? Is there any specific medication for this?

Thanks

Try changing your underwear fabric.  Rough fabrics can desenceifpy the head.  Try silk.

Hi i'm in my midle 20's. I have the same problem with penis sensation and maintainig erection. How often did you masturbate in the past? Did you use porn for visual stimulation? Are you enough arouse with your g/f? Rough masturbation can decrease penis sensations. Maybe you are diabetic? Have you some back problems? I found in another forums, that b6 vitamine sometimes can help...

can masturbation cause this? How is masturbation different from sex?
