Penile numbness after stimming! I'm getting really nervous!
Bottom line, I went forward with stimming without fully understanding the ramifications...
I made my first foray into estim three weeks ago and I think I might have accidentally used too much gusto with my TENS unit (powered by a 9V battery). I have two questions, then an explanation story below.
1. Is it possible to permanently damage your nerves in your penis using a TENS unit?
2. If there's numbness in your penis, how long should I wait before I start to get scared?
Here's the story:
I was using my TENS unit, for the third or fourth time a 1"x1" pad on my frenulum and a 1"x1" pad on the bottom of the shaft, opposite side of the first one. I was like "hey...why not up the power a bit?" so I kept ratcheting up the power of my TENS unit higher and higher. I noticed at a certain point, it was highly uncomfortable (but good) plateauing regardless of how much further I turned the knob so I kept it at the plateau. This whole situation lasted about 5-10 minutes and the unit was at a very high level of Hz charge.
After finishing, I realized that the plateau I felt wasn't b/c the unit was faulty, it was because my **** was getting numb! Now threeweeks later, I still have numbness all around the bottom half of my **** and I'm freaking out.
I'm getting really nervous and not sure what I can even do to help myself

Unfortunately I've done the same thing and am wondering if I've caused permanent damage. What was the outcome for you on this one?
Yes it's fully functional, just has patches of numbness. Nothing else is causing a problem
