Little to zero sensation/feeling during intercourse.

[Medicalfollower]

Hi, I am 20 years old, and have been dealing with irregular impotence and a great lack of sexual feeling/sensation during oral and intercourse, as well as when my girlfriend jerks me off. Now this has happened to me with not just my current girlfriend, but two other girls as well. All of which i think are very attractive and for the most part excluding one, very good in bed. This has been occurring since 2009, so roughly a little over three years. I am circumcised.

When I am being pleasured by my girlfriend rather it be with her hand, orally or vaginally I cannot feel any sensation, other then feeling like, "Yes I can fill myself in her, but theres no "fireworks". Also the feeling is usually coldness even when she is running very warm. Same goes for when she jerks me off, it can feel slightly good, but at the same time it feels more of just tugging more then anything. Now we use lube, have tried various types and I am deeply in-love with her and she is the first long term relationship I have ever had. Our sex life is great, she knows her body and I know mine, but unlike her I cant feel the sensations I know I should be feeling. I can achieve an orgasm during sex, but its more of the motions and sounds my girlfriend makes that do the job, and even then 6 out 10 that's very hard to come by. I tend to loose my erection, because I cannot feel any sensation. Sometimes I even have to resort to thinking about pornos i have watched over the years just to help keep my penis up. Now saying that, I do not think it has anything to do with porn, or that some may say my penis is just to used to my hand during masturbation. Iv took weeks off from porn and masturbation off and on, seeing if theres any improvement, but bottom line is I can rarely feel anything, and my girlfriend is petite and tight, so it has nothing to do with her being the "hallway" and I am the "hot dog" being thrown down it.

It's very concerning, since most of the time she feels its her fault I cannot feel any feeling or sensation. To her she thinks she isn't good enough at oral sex and intercourse. However I reassure her all the time that she is, and I am very open with my sexual problems with her, I found it easy to open up to her so she understands what I go through.

I have seen my urologist several times, I have had blood tests for STDs and testosterone levels. I am loyal so I am clean, but my testosterone levels are low, and from what I was told from my urologist very low, because of my age. Now I use to workout frequently, and be weighing in at around 185 to 180 since I fluctuate, even though I ate very healthy and took my vitamins. Since 2010 to current time, I have not vigorously exercised like I did the prior year, and started indulging in fast food and food that is fatty. I weigh at around 220 now. I'm not sure if weight has an effect on testosterone and sexual feeling/sensation that might be effected by the testosterone levels, but I want to put as much information as I can about myself.

However I think I may have nerve damage. One day a few years back I was masturbating with a makeshift sex toy, a latex glove wrapped in a towel and drenched in lube/ or lotion. I put the toy between my box spring and mattress, and I think the corner of the box spring rubbed to hard against my penis while I was inside the toy. I have been taking Nerve Blend SP-14 Valerian by Solaray and Ginko Biloba by NOW for about 2 weeks, hoping it would help, so far nothing really, but I'm still continuing to take them. And I do have an appt with an endocrinologist that I was refereed to by my urologist, it is however in August.

Now if I do have nerve damage how can i tell, and what can i do to repair the damaged nerve?

And what can I do to raise my testosterone? Is there supplements I can take or certain vitamins I should be concentrating on, or certain foods?

And as far as my off and on impotence, what can I do to combat it and even take control of the dreadful embarrassment? So I can perhaps prevent it.

I would greatly appreciate feedback. Before I started researching my sexual problems I felt like I was the only one.

scratch that I found it.

Where is the Dr's section? I went to Doctor Forums and Ask an Expert, but I already see my post.

Thank you for your post :)... I'll keep the neurology referral in mind next time I visit my Urologist, and I definitely agree with the masturbation part, I actually invested in a well reputable sex toy, so when I do have the urge to please myself I can do it much more safely.

Oh really, well thanks for letting me know, I appreciate it. To be honest, I was unsure as well, why he would send me to an Endocrinologist, but the Dr who referred me was a Urologist. If I recall correctly, he said that he deals more with the anatomical part of the male genitalia, then the sensation/feeling part, and that was his reasoning for referring me to an Endocrinologist.

The Drs rarely post on these forums. Now, there is a Drs section here at Medhelp if you would like to post your questions there.
Are you sure your Dr is'nt sending to a Urologist? It just does'nt make sense that he would recommend an Endocrinologist.

Honestly, my first thought when refering to feeling is nerves. Nerves are what allow us to feel all over our bodies. I would definatly see if tou can be sent to a nero Dr. You may have done some damage to your penis, due to ruff masterbation. As far as repairing nerve damage, I have never heard of nerve damage being repaired. Anyone I've ever crossed with anytype of nerve damage has to live with it for life. You may want to stop masterbating completely and try to hold out on sex for a little while and it may be more physically pleasing.I hope this helped some..; )

I thought doctors answer posts too, what's the deal?

Thanks for replying, He isn't doing anything about the low testosterone levels. He said theres medication out there to treat it, but because of my age he is hesitant to treat me with it, because it could possibly make me infertile and he usually only gives out medication for low levels to men in their 30s and up. That's what he said at least. He hasn't done any type of nerve testing, my guess is that's why he is refereeing me to an endocrinologist.

What is your Dr doing about your low testosterone levels? Has he recommended medication to treat it? You also mentioned a cold feeling. Has your Dr done any nerve testing?

Back in high school, I probably had this when I was in middle school. It was this clear like fluid bubble right below my penis head, near the left side and theres was like a black dot or bead in this bubble. Now the "bubble" was very small, unnoticeable unless you really looked for it. Well one day I started picking at it carefully and treated it like a zit in a way, and I was able to remove it, by pinching it. Now I slightly felt the pinching pain, but I wanted it off, it didn't look normal to me. And to reiterate, the "bubble" was more like a smooth sac in a way, because this wasn't at all as fragile as a bubble.
