im getting a bit worried i have damaged the nerves in my penis. Ive masterbated regulary from an early age but always done it by rubbing my penis on the bed whilst laying face down or by rubbing the head quite hard with the palm of my hand. Over the last few years whilst ive not been in a regular relationship ive started to masterbate more than i used to. My problem is now that i seem to have lost most of the sensation in my penis. I still get aroused and getting an erection isnt usually a problem but when i do masterbate or on the occasion when ive had a partner, its very diffficult to reach orgasm unless i use alot of pressure which during sex is impossible. Ive tried to revert to masterbating using the traditional method and hoped that getting use to that feeling would help me but after doing for a while i usually give up as im not feelingmuch in the way of pleasure. Do the sesnations return if i abstain from any sexual activity for a few months or have i permantly damaged the nerves? Im 30 years of age and although i do smoke im in pretty good health.
