I'm a 21-year-old male and I've noticed something weird lately. When I used to masturbate, I could really feel the sensation around my penis, but now it seems like the sensitivity has decreased and I'm not enjoying it the same way. Is this something I should be worried about? If it is, do you have any suggestions on what I can do?
educed penis sensitivity can be a concern. Here are some possible reasons and suggestions: *Possible Reasons* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor masturbation technique*: Aggressive or rough handling can cause nerve damage. 3. *Circumcision or foreskin issues*: Circumcision, foreskin tightness, or foreskin irritation can reduce sensitivity. 4. *Neurological issues*: Conditions like neuropathy, diabetes, or multiple sclerosis can affect nerve sensitivity. 5. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or performance anxiety can contribute to reduced sensitivity. *Measures to Improve Sensitivity* 1. *Take breaks from masturbation*: Give your penis time to recover and regain sensitivity. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation techniques*: Use lubricants and gentle strokes to reduce friction and irritation. 3. *Forearm exercises*: Strengthen your forearm muscles to improve blood flow and sensitivity. 4. *Sensate focus exercises*: Practice mindfulness and focus on sensations during masturbation to increase awareness and sensitivity.
