Bad penis sensitivity - please help!

[SandmannPV]

Hi,

i asked this a short time ago but i still hope to get answers apart from "go to an urologist".
I will go to one but this will take a week.

So my question again:

I have a very very bad penile sensitivity.
I have to rub relatively hard to cum, my erection disappears after 3 seconds when i dont rub anymore.
The sensitivity is so bad that i sometimes get the feeling that my penis is something between flesh and plastic. Blowjob is no fun for me cause the feeling is too weak.

My sensitivity went down a short time before i started PEing but since i started Peing i lost much more of my senstitvity.

I will consider an urologist (i saw already 2 but they couldnt do anything) and i will stop hanging for 1 week. I never did very hard PEing.

So my question to you is:

Do you know ANY methods to improve sensitivity of the penis?????
Maybe putting it into a condom filled with skin cream , fixed with a cord or something like that.....do you know ANYTHING i can do about it???By MYSELF?


I would be very glad to read from you, i will try anything to get my feeling back.
If you have a link to a site or to a posting from thundersplace or PEforums please tell me!

Bye, SPV

Don't know if these links will help or not, but i believe they're food for thought regarding the subject.

Maybe you've gotten no replies because others don't know what to say since your problem is not PE related which means they have no info to go on; by that i mean we don't know when, why or what started it.

Try to figure out the time frame of when it started as well as what you may have done during that time that was outside of your normal daily activities (a hundred mile bike race/girl friend kicked you in the groin/spider bite on henry/lol)

Do you in your "gut thinking" think there is any chance it could have been psychologically induced, or do you fully believe it to be physical?

If you can lay all fears and unfounded conclusions aside and give an ear to your "gut" you may be able to sense if your problem is serious and in need of medical attention or not.
The human subconscious is highly intellegent and can vaguely diagnose this for you if you can quiet down the static of your mind and body enough so you can hear that faint voice.

If you are experiencing a panic mode that you can not shake then by all means seek some type of professional/expert advice.
If you have already seen a urologist or two then seek out an alternative medicine practitioner; he/she may be able to look at it from a different angle.
I think if you have already seen a couple doctors and they had no clues/comments then it probably isn't serious and may be either a temp set-back for you or not physically related. Keep us informed.

Although you haven't gotten any replies, we "are" here and we have been "listening" to you and we "care" about you :) .
At this point we just don't know what to say :( and it's natural in that context to sit back and wait, thinking/hoping someone who has experienced your situation will post with possible answers; then we all can learn and we will be more able to respond to the next SandmannPV. Good luck my :cool: friend.

I seem to remember that you posted that your decreased sensitivity predated your PE. Is that right?? If so have you been checked out for problems with the spine? It is possible that there could be nerve compression of the sacral nerves, or spinal stenosis furthur up or pathology of the spinal cord it self. I would get to a urologist for sure but also realize that he may not have all the answers if things are awry in the spine, or spinal nerves that are to blame (not really his area). Other possible experts to consult would be a general internist or a neurologist. It may sound like shelling out a lot of bucks but I can tell you if you are not exagerating your symptoms I'd be looking for answers.

[mistered]

I'm curious: did either of those two Neurologists you visited ask any questions pertaining to your back?

[SandmannPV]

mistered,

i love your posts.
I thought about everything and there might be some psychological component responsible for this.....

I will try to coll down a bit anfd i will stop all PE for a long time (at least for a month).

I was at a neurologist and at an urologists, they didnt check my back (spine ).
I will view 2 others.

Thank u very much for the links..... i should use the search button on my own one day :)

luvadus, thanks for your response.
All these possibilities arent checked.
I dont exaggerate a little bit. I really feels like a mixtuere of enerved flesh and numb plastic.


Bye and thank u very much, SPV

[mistered]

I sometimes use the search function, but this time i knew where to look.

It's much more educational to surf thru all the posts. Often times i see something that i would not have thought to look up.
I start on the last page and work my way forward, ie: on general dscussion forum i will start on like page 35 and read all the thread titles up to page 1, stopping to read only what may catch my eye.
If you are going to be idle for a while you can begin reading the stuff here and get one good PE education.

I do not believe you need to stop all PE. You might try some easy jelq's or simple squeeze routines and kegels with plenty of rest time in between, unless you "feel" you need to stop it all for now. Then by all means do so!

I found it somewhat difficult to believe you chose to hang while you were experiencing this injurious difficulty. I think hanging was probably the worse thing you could have done with the symtoms you discribed.
I bet somewhere in the "back" of your mind you knew that was wrong and you still over-rode that small voice (the gut).

I hope your next doctor visit will uncover the root problem of your symptoms. If it turns out that it is "back" related as Luvdadus suggested it could be, you may have to take a longer break from most types of PE. If it is back muscle related, they can take a year or more to heal.
And a weak back can be greatly aggravated psychologically.

In the mean time figure out a list of questions (as you think of them) and write them down to ask your doctor to get the most possible out of one visit.

Good luck SandmannPV and stay :cool: .

Hi,

I have a problem with loss of sensitivity too but PE is only part of it, I'm uncircumsised and sometimes my foreskin gets itchy and when i'm in the shower i soak it in hot water ( quite hot) to sooth the irritation and i think this is causing me to lose sensitivity and of course the manual stretching doesn't help with that either.
Anyways I'm on my 2nd day of a one, possibly two weeks hiatus since the lost of sensitivity has gotta worse lately and my hands are once again telling me to stop manual stretching by hurting like hell.
I put Bepanathen (a vit. E antiseptic cream) on the head of my penis to sooth the skin and hopefully regain sensitivity after showering everyday.

[mistered]

Hey Pk77: it sounds like you too experienced a loss of sensitivity prior to PE'ing as in SandmannPV's case.

Any idea what brought it on?

Is yours of the same nature as his?

Has PE made it worse or does it mostly remain about the same?

Does anything help to ease it up?

Any idea which exercises make it worse and which doesn't bother it?

Have you sought any medical advice for it?

Do you or have you had any back problems?

[SandmannPV]

mistered,

i am confused.
I thought like you that kegels and light jelqing might be good (not for PE but for bloodflow), but please read the last reply in this post of mine (the same like this :) ) :

http://www.thundersplace.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=1659

Should i do jelqing and kegels now?

You are right, i felt that i have these sensitivity problems and i knew that this hanging wouldnt improve my sensitivity but the question wasnt "Do you want a large numb dick or a smaller sensitive one?" but "Do you want a large nearly numb or a smaller semi-numb dick?"

All i know is that i dont want to stay in this state i am now.

I also hope that if i get a larger dick that the psychological component will descrese (more self-confidence) and that this factor will strengthen my erection and give me a better sensitivity....

I thank you, i will stay for sure :)


Bye, SPV

>Hey Pk77: it sounds like you too experienced a loss ofsensitivity >prior to PE'ing as in SandmannPV's case.

>Any idea what brought it on?

I guess from touching it too much, i have very easily-irriatated skin and my foreskin gets itchy every so often and when i scratch it i make a lot of contact with the head as well, and the hot shower water method on the penis doesn't help either.


>Is yours of the same nature as his?

Well i definitely understand how he feels about the blowjob thing I wished i could get off on a bj but i can't i have to jerk it myself and it definitely makes penetration less fun.

>Has PE made it worse or does it mostly remain about the same?

I'l have to say worse....jelqing is cool cuz i jelq with the foreskin and i don't touch the head but manual stretching definitely makes it worse. If i don't PE (which i won't be for a week or two starting from yesterday) and just leave it alone i think it'll get a bit better.

>Does anything help to ease it up?

Someone suggested putting lotion on the dick 24/7, i've been doing this with Bepanathen vit E antiseptic cream on the head and the foreskin keeps the cream from drying out.

>Any idea which exercises make it worse and which doesn't bother it?

Manual stretching bad bad bad but I want the length damn it!

>Have you sought any medical advice for it?

No....too chicken :)

>Do you or have you had any back problems?

I don't see how this is relevant but yes....nothing major its just that i used to do gymnastics and diving and have aches once in a while but I do dead lifts at the gym and it helps alot.
As Sandmann said, small sensitive dick or big less sensitive dick...****cisions decisions.

oh and also i've become stationary with the gains, i've been at the same length for quite a while now, I started back in August last year and have gained maybe a 1/4 of an inch but since this year i have seen nothing.....
Routine: 5-10 min warmup
manual stretch 4 sets in 4 directions (v-stretch) 5 reps each (20secs)
jelq for 20mins and jelq/squeeze for 10-15
5-10 min warmup

PS: Another reason why i am taking a break is because my hands really ache from the manual stretching.....

Considering the length of time your injurious condition has been in effect; considering the attempted suicide (hanging) with basically no change to your symptoms; considering that blood-flow (blood is a healing agent and although it won't heal your condition, it is still good for henry) itself will not do you any harm; considering you state you've already sought medical help twice; considering the high probability that your problem is "NOT" located in the henry area, but elsewhere; considering you are going to do what you want to do anyway; considering that i thought if i suggested that you do "light" jelq-squeeze-kegel type stuff with "much" rest time in between sessions, then you may still be able to satisfy your urge to PE without doing the kind of PE that would no doubt potentially cause you more harm and be satisfied in that (it's like asking someone to wear a nicotine patch for their smoking habit instead of continuing smoking cigaretts); considering you stated you were making more medical appointments; i saw/see no harm in increasing blood flow without applying the kind of stress on henry that could potentially harm him more so.

If i was to tell you to do not the things i thought would harm you such as stressful PE, which you already know by now, i would also suggest you not run, stand for long periods on concrete surfaces, ride a bicycle, wrestle, sit improperly, as well as somehow "lower" your psychological stress levels.
But it seems eveyone else is right and i am wrong. I am out numbered. So there is no more i can say to the effect.

I persoanally think it is okay to do the kind of stuff i suggested (me personally/not PE Forms or it's management) because i figured in my mind you would do something anyway and in that context it seems the light stuff with much rest between would act as an alternitive to more harmful stuff.

All has pretty much been said that can be said my friend SandmannPV. The choices you make beyond this post is yours and yours alone.
If you have any doubts what-so-ever, then i repeat myself: by all means stop PE totally and get the kind of medical attention you need and continue PE at a later date.

I firmly stand by any and all advice i have given you as long as it is in the realm of not holding PE Forums liable and i believe that has been met.

I wish you the best SandmannPV and hope you choose to do what is best for you in your situation; Remember what i said about your gut (always give it an ear and consider what it says. It isn't always right but it is smarter than we are and most of the time it is worthy to obey).

Bye-bye for now and be well.

[mistered]

How are you doing? Any up-dates? Are things better or the same or what?
Haven't heard from you for a while and thought i would check in and see if you are okay.

[SandmannPV]

Thanks for your inquiry, mistered,

my sensitivity has increased a very very little bit during the last 2 weeks.
What made me lucky was that i got an hard-on each time i talked to a certain girl at my work :)

i have visited an uro 2 times.
He took samples of my blood, sperms and i told him all i did (about my PE of the last 4 years).
He also made some other examinations.

He couldnt find anything abnormal, no diabetes, good testosterone level, only an infection, he has given me antibiotica to fix this.

But he said this cant be a reason for my bad sensitivity.

What he finally said was that the reasons could be:

-too much stimulus of the nerves, maybe some tiny superficial nerves are damaged

-some psychological reason, what means that my anxieties of having sex could be responsible for this.
Erection will be much better if i feel better.

I should stop all PE.
And that i have to live with my dick, with the length it has now.


I will view a neuro now and if he also doesnt find anything apart from "psychological reasons" then i will go on with very controlled PEing.

[mistered]

Thanks for the update.

I hope the problem turns out to be only psychological.

Just because you are experiencing this difficulty doesn't mean you have to stay gone.
You can continue to learn about PE by reading as well as interacting here. That way when the time comes that your problem no longer exists (which i believe will be the case) you will be up to date and knowledgable relating to PE matters.

Hang in there SandmannPV, expect the best and be well.

If I may offer you some advice based on personal experience - get your lower back checked out. Luvdadus suggested it, and I concur.

It is extremely common to have disc compression in the lower 5 vertabrae. When these discs compress vertically, they expand horizontally, often pushing into the nerve trunk that runs through the spine. And that can result in all sorts of peculiar symptoms, including deadness in the feet and toes, leg pains, sciatica, poor circulation, difficulty in urinating - and decreased sensitivity in the penis.

The good news is that this condition is very often easily corrected or at least improved by some simple stretching exercises. Of the back and legs, not the penis. I don't know what your general physical condition is, but losing weight also helps a great deal, if you're up a few pounds or more.

I had a nasty, nasty case of this around 1990. It was brought on by simply getting a little older, poor sitting posture, a lot of stress and probably lifting something the wrong way. Maybe a few other bad habits, who knows? I felt like an old man (I was 40 at the time, but this can happen at any age). My penis felt like your very apt description of "flesh and plastic." My back itself didn't hurt, but that's where the problem lay.

I ran through the usual array of medical doctors, who mostly just shrugged and offered me drugs. Then I went to a chiropractor.

Who fixed it.

Now, I know that chiropractic is a dirty word in some circles (certainly many AMA circles, although that seems to be changing), but it was the answer for me. It took a few months, and I practice normal maintenance and care now, but I got everything back. The problem was mostly mechanical, as was the solution. Misalignment of the spine can cause a host of problems. Getting things straightened out and back the way they ought to be can fix a lot of them.

By all means, do some research. Type "lower back problems" into Google and start reading. See a neurologist, but consider a chiropractor, or even just develop a stretching and strengthening routine for the back on your own. You'll be able to do this from your reading.

As far as PE goes, I don't see why you should stop. Maybe stop hanging (if you are), but anything that maintains circulation will help.

[mistered]

Denetee and Luvdadus have very valid points and ought to be exhausted.

I once had a site saved in my favorites and deleted it by accident and haven't been able to relocate it.
It gave info on each vertebra and which organ as well as body part(s) it affected.
Interesting stuff!

[luvdadus]

Yes I would see a neurologist if you haven't already. If you don't have something surgical like then I would see either a phyical therapist or a chiropractor. (The problem i have or had with chiropractic in the past is when people self-refer for problems not related to the spine and serious conditions go untreated because they are outside of the area of expertise of chiropractic).

[denetee]

Agreed. It is very important to rule out some of the more serious possibilities.

But until you do, here's a quick, harmless stretch for you, Sandmann. Lie on your back and pull your knees up to your chest. Hold for 10 seconds, and relax. Do it again. Feel the muscles in the lower back as they stretch. Don't pull too hard or too fast, and don't bounce it. Just an easy stretch.

See if that doesn't make you feel a little better, quite possibly in the whole lower half of your body. What it does is open up the spaces between the vertabrae and allow the discs to return toward their normal placement. It's not a cure, and I stress that you should follow luv's advice and get checked out by a neuro. But it will probably help you more than any special creams or condoms or strings or even PE techniques. And it's very unlikely to hurt you, although if it does then you definitely need to see a good doctor.
