Penis Sensitivity - Men's Health Message Board

Hi,

I'm 19 and I feel that my Glands are TOO sensitive. Soo sensitive that I've only ever touched it directly maybe 3 or 4 times in my life. I'm just too scared. I'm uncircumcised and I did have a tight foreskin until I stretched it a couple of years ago.

I'm just wondering, if this is normal? I'm dreading when it comes to sex it will be too painful.

I read that drying it out can help. What do you think about the idea of using a blow dryer?

Are any of you people over sensitive? what have you done about it?

sharkfin, a blow job would be better on your dick than a blow drier

.

Seriously, though, it's great that you have stretched your foreskin so that it's no longer tight.

Since you can now pull back your foreskin, you can work at making the head of your dick less sensitive. When I say "work", well, it's not really work so much as pleasure. Skin it back, apply lots of lubrication and use your hand in the usual way.

The idea is to desensitise the exposed head of your dick with a lot of touching: jerking off, cleaning it regularly in the shower, and maybe just playing with it occasionally.

Do not "dry it out". Where did your read that???

Have fun -- and keep us informed of your progress.

I don't understand what you are afraid of? It's not going to bleed or fall off. Go buy some lubrication like KY or Astroglide, lube up your exposed glans and lightly masturbate. Start off easy but after a while you should be able to have more contact without lube (not masturbation, just contact like rubbing it when washing)

Hi, Thanks guys for the advice.

About the blow drying bit, I read that cut men have much less sensitivity that those uncut becuase of the years of exposed glands (Making them dryer and less sensitive). So thats why I was thinking of blow drying mine. To make it dryer and less sensitive! lol.

The thought of pain just scares me silly. Which is why I try never to touch my glands. The times when I did touch it, a strong sensation echoed through my body, quite painful! (I have to mention, I have a low pain threshold!). Is this normal?

Yep bud its normal for some of us uncut guys. However, the more direct stimulation you provide for the head of your penis, the less sensitive it will be. Later, you'll find that it is the pleasure center for you and anything sexual will be awesome, not painful.
