Lack of Feeling
I am a 35 year old male with very little sexual experience, now about 17 years ago.. Not great I know, hey, life goes on! Anyway, I have a problem related to my penis (apart from the lack of action) which does concern me sometimes.
The head of my penis has absolutely no sensitivity at all. My brief experience with sex wasn’t worth bothering with, there was no pleasure at all, I felt nothing. It is the same when I masturbate, there is no feeling.
Can anybody suggest a reason for this? Is it possible that excessive masturbation has numbed the glans? And if so, can I take comfort from the knowledge that the nerves can regenerate?
Thank you.

Thanks for your trouble, seems to make sense, the only thing is that I spend most of my free time trying to get chance to test it again, and I'd have to make significant progress in this department for it to be any use whatsoever.
Overthinking, well that's me all over.
I'll bear it all in mind. Thanks for the reassurance about nerve damage, in spite of it seeming like another medical fraternity don't-know on their part.

Sorry for your troubles -
Don't know if I can offer you much advice but I have had similar problems with lack of pleasure in the last couple years - I am 37 now. I have a mystery burning that distracts me as well most of the time. I feel it's related to an accident / injury with electric shock - if it weren't for that in my past I would tend to work on anxiety and mood as a strategy.
For instance, meditation could on help calm and focus the mind and might have a beneficial effect that you can't now imagine in your distressed state. This is kind of my situation at least.
As far as damaging nerves from friction / masterbation I haven't heard definitively if it's true - neurologists tend to dismiss nerve damage if it's not complete erectile dysfunction or somehow shows up on their usual tests.
It would be best to tell a doctor what methods and how often pertaining to your masterbation. That said a lot of people put a lot of stock in anxiety and overthinking being the cause for these kinds of things - if you make any progress on it, let me know.
