    Hello folks

    I can no longer feel anything down there. Its like my penis is "dead", like it lost it senses. Fapping no longer feels good, and when I ejaculate I really can't feel anything. I've been fapping since 11 because I had sexual fantasies all the time, even though I couldn't ejaculate.

    Anyway, is this due to excessive use of porn? Because porn doesn't feel interesting anymore. I search for more than an hour just to find a good video. Could it be age? or the "death grip?

    Has anyone experienced this and gotten their feel/sensitivity in their penis back again? And how long did it take by no pmo?

    Hey bro,

    I’m going to say this isn’t due to your age. It’s due to P and a death grip. You’re just use to your hand, and not to a partner.

    As far as a reboot goes, Everyone is different and everyone takes a different amount of time. Your story is a super common one on this board and a lot of people have had successful reboots. Some lucky individuals can do it in 30 days. Some people take an entire year. Many have great success in 90 day. That’s what is recommend most often. Go 90 days PMO free, and take it from there. It’s really hard, but there is tons of support on here if you need it.

    I was pretty similar to you only I used PMO longer because I’m older. I didn’t feel much down there anymore and would spend hours looking for the perfect P, while edging the whole time. Sometimes, I couldn’t even make myself finish and I just felt wooden. I could never finish with conventional S with a girl and had to either use hands or have other extreme things happening. It got to the point where I couldn’t even finish orally most times with a partner.

    I did PMO free for a month, and switched to PM free after that. I’m over 60 days into it. It’s hard to resist urges to M and sometimes I still struggle, but the other benefits I’ve gotten are worth it. My self esteem is way higher and my social anxiety is lower. I feel more alert, and I don’t waste hours on the computer looking for P anymore. Last month, I O’d with a girl oraly for the first time in a very very long time without other crazy stuff going on. It felt amazing too. I regained tons of sensitivity and this weekend I am going to probably find out if I can O more traditionally with a girl. If I can’t yet, that’s cool. I’m only 60 days in and super happy with my progress, plus she knows and is supportive.

    Anyway, it’s hard work, but it’s totally worth it. Do the 90 days and go from there. Best of luck to you, and feel free to ask any questions.

    Well thanks for the reply mate. Its good to hear that you are starting to get your sensation back. I was scared that it was unrecoverable, and your post took some of my worry away. 60 days without pm is a lot. Keep it going buddy
     
  4. I was like that for years, penis was numb to the touch. I didn't even realize how abnormal this was because I was so used to it. After a few months of not abusing it it became ultra-sensitive.
