Loss of penile sensation

Hello, I'm 19 years old and have never had any medical issues until july the 25th 2010. During foreplay with my girlfriend I noticed my penis went completely numb after she stopped dry humping my penis (something she does to get wet before intercourse) , once I noticed this I immediately stopped any sexual acts at the time and began to feel mild pain in my groin area and noticed a paper cut right under my glans . The next day it began to be very uncomfortable for me to sit down without using a doughnut shaped cushion to relieve the pain I was enduring in my prostate area. I then went to the hospital when the pain became unbearable I took and urine sample which came back negative a hiv test which came back negative and a culture test for chlamydia which came back negative also I was given three rectal exams in the last month and none of the doctors noticed any inflammation of the prostate. I masturbate about three times a week without lube, I used to drink every other Saturday ,but not anymore after this issue arrived. Now during sex unless she is on top I barely feel any sensation in my penis and If we have sex doggy-style I feel nothing at all. Also the glans and the part right under the glans are sensitive but the shaft barely has sensation unless I put hot water on it , but what also is weird is that when I put cold water on my penis i feel it much more than when I use hot water. I put lotion on my penis a week before could this cause a sensation problem?. Ive already seen and urologist and he was no help. I also experience mild penile pain. Please help.

I currently take vitamins as follows
B12 ( I believe it will help nerves)
ginkgo biloba( for bloodflow just in case I lack good bloodflow to penis)
Saw Palmetto( Just in case it is and prostate isuue)
Magnesium( to help relieve what I believe is muscle spasm in prostate area I also take this to help nerve function)

Also the paper cut has healed but still and lack of sensation.

IS THEIR ANY CHANCE ILL GET MY SENSATION BACK AND IF SO WHAT ACTION DO YOU RECCOMEND I TAKE?

The shaft isn't that sensitive... The only part of the shaft that is a bit sensitive is the underside of the penis... 2 most sensitive parts are just after the glans on the underside... and the part where the penis meets with the scrotum.  The entire glans is also pretty sensitive.

If the part underneath the glans is still very sensitive your urethral nerve should be fine.

If your prostate is inflamed, you should stop masturbating or having sex for awhile.  Give it some time to rest, eat lots of tomatoes or tomato paste, and drink some water.  Eat some fish or take omega 3 supplements will also help the prostate.  Tomatoes is the healthiest food for the prostate because of the lycopene.

Ok. Yeah the part underneath the glans of my penis is still very sensitive. I just wonder how sensitive should the shaft be. Also I was wondering if my prostate is actually infflamed should I apply heat (warm bath) or ice pack to the prostate area?

Oh you should be okay then.

What happened then is you damaged the nerve with that cut and the force you put on it when you were 'dry humping'.

On the underside of the penis just beneath the glans is the most sensitive part of the entire penis.  I think this is where the damage was done.

OUCH... Okay I read that and immediately I felt the pain myself.  

Yes, the urethral nerve is right there and you may have cut right through the urethral nerve.  Why you put paper to cut your penis?

The supplements won't help you there... You will have to see a urologist and hopefully he could do something to help re-connect the nerve.  Your gland penis may become numb now.
