Hi Warriors -- any of you guys got tips or techniques to re-sensitize the penis after years of abuse? This seems to be a significant contributor to my DE. I've know about the one where you practice stroking it with a feather or a silk cloth. The wife is getting a kick out of that one! Plus I just ordered some Man 1 Man Oil, which seems to get mixed reviews. I'll try about anything, short of getting sucked up by the vacuum cleaner ...... Thanks - Mike
LMAO!! Seriously, though, decreased sensitivity was a big issue with my husband too. We've instituted a "hands off" approach. He doesn't touch it at all and on the rare occasions that I do touch it with my hands, it's very light. I've also been focusing a lot more on other erogenous areas, more kissing, flirting, etc. You, know, taking the focus off of what's going on downstairs. We've gone from him not being able to maintain an erection for PIV and having a tendency to have DE to him actually being a bit quick on the trigger. I'm not complaining, though.
Think I'll suggest all your methods to the my wife and tell her it was "expert advice". I think I could manage to suffer through what you're suggesting .... Thanks - Mike
Not touching it for an extended period of time brought back sensitivity to mine. The occasional scratch is okay but no sexual touching at all.
I'm in the same boat (and also on day 11). I've been doing daily moisturizing with some shea butter lotion for about a week now. Not sure if it's really having any effect yet, but I'm hoping once I hit my 90 days, sensitivity will be much higher. I'm otherwise keeping my hands off and going "hard mode," so no stimulation allowed from anyone else either yet.
Everything Salviticus suggested worked for my hubby too. He did end up with PE for a little bit but that went away when he learned to control himself by deep breathing, slowing down, pulling out etc. Now he can last as long as he wants!
Thanks, Limeaid -- To quote a lyric from the Georgia Satellites "don't hand me no lines, and keep yo' hands to yo'self ...."
If your circumcised, foreskin restoration is the way to go. Theres also a product you can by that helps cover and keep stuff protected and makes nofap easier.
I've started foreskin restoration -- I started over a month ago and I have seen an improvement. My glans stay 50% to 80% covered now, it's amazing how badly your penis wants to cover those glans. I am using the tugging method which sounds dangerous to NoFap (and could be for others). It has taught me how to touch my penis for other reasons than M. I started with a loose circumcision making it easier for me and less time to achieve results. I have been most pleased and will report tomorrow how much more sensitivity I have gained in the last two weeks.
