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.

I'm dealing with herpes, and my doctor confirmed it's affecting my penis. A couple of months ago, I had Bell's palsy. I'm worriedcan herpes come back, and which type might this be? Can anyone provide some guidance?

It sounds like you're dealing with a couple of challenging conditions. Herpes simplex virus (HSV) can cause outbreaks in various areas, including the genital region. As for Bell's palsy, while it's typically a one-time occurrence, some people may experience it again, but the risk is low. I recommend following your doctor's guidance on managing both conditions and staying informed about any recurrence signs.

I'm a bit concerned about a situation I've been experiencing. Whenever I imagine having sex, my sperm seems to come out without any physical stimulation like rubbing my penis. I'm not married yet, and I'm worried this might create problems for me when I do get married. Could this indicate that Im dealing with some kind of medical issue? What should I do about it?

It sounds like you may be experiencing **premature ejaculation** or **nocturnal emissions** (wet dreams), which are common in many men, especially when experiencing sexual thoughts or fantasies. This isn't typically a sign of any disease but could be related to heightened sexual arousal or stress. If you're concerned or if it affects your daily life, it might be helpful to consult a healthcare professional for further guidance.
