De-sensitizing the penis - Men's Health Message Board

I'm not even sure if that's a word but i need to de-sensitize the head of my penis. Boy does it hurt!

A little history first, when i was 16 i had a hand job off a girl and it hurt like hell. When i was 17 i had a blow job and it hurt even more. Now yesterday (i'm almost 19) i had another blow job and it hurt even more, as soon as she touched it i had to pull back. I tried gritting my teeth and hoping it was just something i had to get used to but i almost passed out from the pain.

I thought at first it was the girl doing something wrong, like when i was 16 we were hardly the most experienced of sexual partners, but last night i was with a 20 year old who's far from a virgin (i still am) so i'm pretty sure it's me that has the problem.

So is there any way to make it less senstive? I'm not circumsized by the way. I heard somewhere that people used to take baths in salted water after circumsision to achieve this goal, any know if that's true? I've read a few posts here and it seems people reckon you just get used to it, but it's been 2 years now since it's been 'touched in that way' and it's as painful as ever.

Please help!

Well, in the 2 years you have known for it to be painful to the touch, what have you been doing about it? Are you regularly retracting the foreskin and washing. When washing you should be using your fingers to rub the glans in order to remove any accumulations. Do you use the forskin in a rolling action over the head when masturbating? Have you tried using some type of lubricant to masturbate the exposed head? If not, then it going to continue to be very sensitive to the touch.

Yeah i always clean and it doesn't really hurt because i'll do it in the shower. So you're saying if i use lubricant to masterbate the head, it will eventually de-sensitize?

Contact with the head will make it accustomed to the sensation, eventually becoming less sensitive.

Yeah i have a simaler problem.. hand jobs didn't hurt.. but i had small sensitivities to a blow job.. not to much.. but i had sex twice in one day for a total of about an hour and a half if you ad them and i hurt so much i had to put an ice pack on it.. it didn't hrut while doing it.. only when i first put it in and after it went limp, but i wasnt circumsized either and had simaler problems..
