anxiety/numb feeling in penis

i cant tell if this is my anxiety or if there's something wrong but, i feel as if the skin on my penis shaft has gone numb..like as weird as it sounds lol like if i pinch it i don't feel anything, or at least it doesn't hurt..is this normal..i never just randomly pinched it in the past for no reason so i don't know if this is normal..honestly i think this is all in my head, but at the same time i keep questioning myself..also im not pinching it like hard or anything im just kinda pinching the skin but i feel as if when i do this there should be pain..maybe im just thinking to much about this, but i could use the help

He seems like a good bloke with a great sense of humour. More of which we need around here. Glad to hear that all turned out well for you mate. Laughter can be the best medicine.

I'm glad you were able to take our teasing in the manner it was meant. We did take your concern seriously, even if it didn't seem like it..............
We deal with so much fear, anxiety and depression on this forum that sometimes we get a little carried away when something a bit "different" comes along.
I honestly hope that even through our silliness, you were able to get some help for your worries. Your last post sounded as if you have moved on and are OK with everything now, which made me glad.
I do want to say that if you ARE still concerned, please write again and I promise no more jokes at your expense!
Peace

haha thanks people for the responses ..also im not sitting around pinching as i may have made it sound..it was more of a test cause it felt numb..but now i kno that the penis doesn't have may pain receptors which is why i didn't feel anything when i pinched it lol..and now my anxiety i guess decided to stop focusing on that area cause now i feel fine

Agh come on now Nursie. That's been a bit hard on him. Lots of pun intended. If he feels like a pinch here and there, well go for it man. God gave you hands for a reason. May as well do something with them. So if the pinching mood grabs you, grab it back.

The biggest problem with anxiety is our ability to "overreact" to everything...including to be ridiculously "in-tuned" to sensations and symptoms that a non-anxious person would either never a give a second thought to, or would never notice in the 1st place.

I agree with all of the responses you've receieved and can't think of much else to add except for maybe......DONT PINCH MR. WILLIE ANYMORE!!!!  :0)

I see that you've already gotten excellent replies from two of the sharpest brains and tongues on this forum; not the slightest trace of numbness there it seems, so I'm not going to touch this one, let alone pinch anyone.

Cheers!

P.S Zoloft is probably the culprit, I agree.

hahaha ya i kno this post probably sounded crazy as hell..idk what made me do it, its like my anxiety always picks a different part of my body to zone in on..like last week it was my eyes. i think its the Zoloft cause not only did it make me lose sexual interest but it just doesn't feel the same, so maybe it just feels weird to me cause i dont get aroused as easy

Would have bounced back up and poked his eye out. He wouldn't have known because of the numbness. That's my theory anyway.

Perhaps the apple fell on a different head?

Must be raining there too. Nothing else to do. Just curious as to how someone, other than the way he described, actually becomes aware of such a numbness? How did you first discover this? Was it like Newton with the apple on his head. As you sat under a tree you just had a thought to pinch the tip of your penis. Eureka !!!!!!! We get all sorts of problems on here. Nothing surprises me any more.

Where do you come up with this stuff, Naruto? Now you're pinching your penis......what made you think to do that?
I don't own one, so haven't a clue if this is "normal" or not. Does the rest of it work like it says in the owners manual? If so, I'd suggest one of two things. Either STOP pinching it or see a urologist.

Hey there,

It is normal at some degree to not feel some spot on the skin of the penis as there are not so many pain receptor there. It's jus like the skin of you elbow, try to pinch it and you'll see..

Everything is normal and Mr.Shaft is doing ok!

Best regards,
