numb penis during sex

OK. well, my boyfriend and I just decided to start having sex. i'm 21 he's 20 and i am his first. We've been together for a while and he doesn't have any major medical problems.

His penis is numb. He says he can feel it but it doesn't feel good almost like it is numb. what could this be caused from? We have been having sex for about 2 weeks and it doesn't seem to be working. His sex drive isn't what it should be ( im assuming because sex isn't exactly pleasurable for him ). He isn't circiumsized.

any ideas on what could cause this? too much masterbation maybe? what should we do?

Furthermore if he had any injuries in the pelvic area there could be nerve damage best thing you can do is have him see a doctor .

Her is my recommendation have him see a endocrinologist and have blood word done he could have low testosterone due from many things however given his age his testosterone levels (should) be normal.

Be very careful about putting any pressure on him.  He's mainly nervous - I would be.  For awhile, just be there when he wants to f___!!!!  Maybe alcohol is partly to blame??  Do not hesitate to bring out the viagra to get over the hump.  Nobody "needs" viagra, but they sure can use it, no matter their age.

My sensatioin comes and goes.  (no pun intended)  For the last couple of months, I've been pretty numb during sex  A few months prior, I had all the sensatioin in the world.  I take nexium for heart burn, but that's it.  I don't masturbate very often....only cause then I'd have to listen to my wife complain.  When I masturbate with a lotion, I have alot of sensation every time. I'm at a loss myself as to why I'm numb during sex now.  Don't think your boyfriend is the only one (you might want to tell him that.)  I've spoken to others who too are numb-ees.

When a man has masturbated roughly, (rough is what he created) the vagina will be just be too soft for him to feel the pleasure.........of the softness.

Just like when a woman gets used to a vibrator.......now come on...no D*CK can to what a vibrator can.  Women will too, loose sensation of the way we were created to feel.

Is he on any medications? I am on an antidepressant that reduces sensation a lot for me.
