I'm a bit worried because my foreskin seems longer than usual. It fully covers the penis even when I'm fully erect. Can you advise on what this might mean or if there's something I should be doing about it?

I'm experiencing a loss of sensitivity at the head of my penis. When I used to masturbate, I would feel an erection, but now I don't feel much. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried about why this is happening and how I can regain that sensitivity. Any thoughts?

Potential Causes* 1. *Over-masturbation*: Frequent or aggressive masturbation can lead to desensitization. 2. *Poor circulation*: Reduced blood flow to the penis can cause numbness or decreased sensitivity. 3. *Nerve damage*: Injury or pressure on the nerves in the pelvic area can affect sensitivity. 4. *Psychological factors*: Stress, anxiety, or depression can contribute to decreased sensitivity. 5. *Medical conditions*: Certain conditions, such as diabetes, multiple sclerosis, or neuropathy, can affect nerve function and sensitivity. *Regaining Sensitivity* 1. *Take a break*: Avoid masturbation for a while to give your penis a chance to recover. 2. *Practice gentle masturbation*: When you do masturbate, use gentle, light touches to help your penis become more sensitive again. 3. *Improve circulation*: Engage in regular exercise, such as cardio or yoga, to enhance blood flow to the penis. 4. *Manage stress*: Try relaxation techniques, like meditation or deep breathing, to reduce stress and anxiety.
