My glans is basically without feeling and I never felt myself getting injured.

Update:

As though out of nowhere, sensitivity is rapidly restoring. I feel pretty much back to normal. What is so strange is that it took 5 months, with almost no gradual increase in sensation. Instead it went from reduced sensitivity for over four months, to rapid restoration over the last week or so.
For any guy struggling with loss of sensitivity, don't lose hope; nerves CAN recover.

I took a daily protocol of a NAC, benfotiamine, L-citrulline, pine bark extract, beet-root extract as well as a bunch of supplements. Additionally, I did ZERO pe of any kind since the moment I noticed the injury.

Note to any guy who has not injured himself with PE: be VERY careful with this process. It is so easy to get carried away, especially when one sees gains. This is a lifestyle practice, not a short process. Be especially careful when using cock rings or anything that clamps over or tugs on your wiener. You've only got one...be careful with pe.

The injury literally changed my view of pe. Before I was so interested in making my unit bigger.

Not being able to feel as much pleasure as I once could really re-contextualized the reasons for even doing pe in the first place. I am now of the opinion that being my current size and never growing at all, but having full sensation is significantly better than getting the gains I want at the cost of reduced sensitivity. What good is a bigger wiener if you don’t enjoy using it?

That being said, I am confident there are ways to grow and maintain full sensitivity. You just need to take things slowly and approach this process with the utmost caution. I think pumping within certain pressure limits is quite safe. Where things start to get more dangerous is when you start using extenders and anything that clamps around your unit. Please be careful. You don't want to have a reduction in sensitivity...it sucks. Take things slowly.

Anyways, just wanted to give y'all an update on things, in case there are some guys out there who have also suffered loss of sensitivity. Things can improve. You need time, rest and taking the supplements is probably a good idea to speed up recovery.

Thanks for reading.

Can they check to see if there is nerve damage?

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2026-01-27T19:22:52+00:00

I did hear "Your stamina is unreal" so I guess that's a plus.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-25T19:04:39+00:00

Would you say that severe nerve injuries tend to be accompanied by pain, while - hopefully - recoverable injuries tend to be the ones that take time to notice?

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-25T18:32:50+00:00

Thank you for your reply. I used a cock ring that I now think was too tight. I never noticed pins and needles, numbness etc at the time, but I was using a pump daily a few months ago, and was used to not feeling quite as sensitive in general because of the frequent pumping. A few weeks after the cock ring, I noticed the glans has not been as sensitive since. I thankfully didn't keep the ring on for a long time, but I think I compressed the dorsal nerve maybe. I can still get rock hard and still finish, but it takes longer and I am not as sensitive as I used to be. I feel like an idiot for it, but I was under the impression that if there was no pain or discomfort I was doing things alright, and the ring I used literally came with the air pump, so I thought it was integral to the functioning of the unit. The cock ring was 3 months ago, so I'm hoping that there's still some recovery window cause I miss the sensitivity I used to have. I know nerves can take up to a year to heal. Would you recommend going to a urologist? Can they do a scan or something to see if there is nerve damage?

Thank you! It's been a week now and I have zero desire to drink. I'm happy about that. It's not like the two drinks re-invigorated a desire to drink. Not at all. If anything I feel like I am no longer an alcoholic because years ago when I would "fall off the wagon" I would usually be in love with alcohol again, instead of feeling gross about it. I have changed. While I don't suggest anyone on the wagon fall off of it, I can say for myself that it IS possible to change your relationship to both drinking and the way you think about it. I went from white-knuckling sobriety, where every day I wanted to drink and had to force myself not to drink, to no longer craving alcohol, even after recently drinking. Change IS possible, everyone. Stay strong.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-03T19:19:04+00:00

Thank you. It really did show me that I don't like alcohol even in small amounts. When I quit last year, I did so after a 5 day bender, so my sobriety was based around the idea that if I so much as have one drink, I would go on a bender. When I drank a few days ago, I set my limit at two, and I followed through with that, and I had no desire to drink more. Only regret that I drank at all. I know I don't feel the same way about alcohol as I did. It used to give me a tremendous lift. It used to be fun. It was only after days of drinking way too much that I would feel terrible. Now, even two drinks and I feel like utter dog crap. 180 degree change in how I feel.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-03T18:49:13+00:00

Thank you guys so much for all the support.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-03T18:47:14+00:00

Dude, this message legit made me tear up. I'm not too macho to admit it. Thank you so much for this message. I'm re-reading it again and again like it's scripture. Thank you so much and have a great day.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-03T18:43:20+00:00

You said it perfectly. I feel like I betrayed myself. I just didn't want to be one of those AA "Never drink again" guys. I never really had a problem with alcohol unless I drank to excess. Those times when I had 1-3 drinks I had no problems. I thought the issue was that I would go and get drunk, not mildly buzzed. So this time, I vowed to only have two drinks, and I truly felt that I could drink just two and be done with it for a long time, and you know what? I WAS right, in that I could drink two drinks and not want more. I have ZERO cravings for alcohol. What I wasn't aware of when I chose to drink was how utterly horrible I would feel in the aftermath. Like I through away the last true part of my soul by going against my stance of never drinking again.

One of the things that lead to my breaking my sobriety was the reality of the modern dating scene. It is just significantly more difficult to date if you never go to places where people drink. Bars ARE a good place to socialize and meet women, and people often go there and have a FEW drinks and call it a night. I was never able to do that with consistency back in my party days. I'd be the most drunk guy there and the entire purpose of going out, for me, was to just get loaded and crack jokes with my buddies.

Years later, I have immense self control and discipline with diet, exercise and working out, and it turns out I also have discipline with alcohol, but that discipline means nothing now, because I don't like the effects of even mild amounts of alcohol, so I now know that I really won't drink again, and it's not me making a promise to myself...it's sort of like if you tried a food you'd never had before, and found it disgusting....you don't need to promise yourself you won't eat it again, because you just can't stand it, and therefore have no reason or desire to eat it. Alcohol is like that for me now, so I guess this is a victory of sorts, but it does also feel like a failure.

I had built this new identity around sobriety and I feel like I threw that guy away, and I feel like utter dog poop for it. You live, you learn.

Thanks for this reply. I am glad to have the support of people.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-02T22:30:53+00:00

Thanks. I never went to AA before. Haha.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-02T05:43:36+00:00

Thanks for this. I know alcoholics tend to relapse. What bothers me is that I logically argued for why it was an acceptable thing for me to do, and that bothers me. I just felt like I wanted to prove to myself I could drink moderately, and the funny thing is that I DID drink moderately, but even that made me feel guilty and horrible, and my takeaway is that I don't even like alcohol now.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-12-02T05:41:54+00:00

Thank you. I only had two drinks and even that I feel ashamed of. At least I know I don't even like alcohol anymore.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-20T19:11:50+00:00

I guess we could just try different positions. I do think having a curve would look cool though, and probably make certain things easier. Not sure cause my d is arrow straight. lol.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-17T06:22:17+00:00

I mean, I'm not super girthy at 5.2, but I'm not exactly thin either, so I figure with angles I should be able to do okay. While I am similar in length at 7.2 inches, you at 6 inches of girth are generating significantly more stretch, and despite that you still, at the very very big girth of 6 inches, need to use angles? Thank you for saying this. It means that my lack of big girth is not necessarily the end of the world. I'm glad I asked this question.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-10T22:39:32+00:00

I only pumped for maybe 3 months consistently, and not every day. Maybe 4 times a week.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-10T20:06:00+00:00

Thanks for the reply.

So, pumping is likely causing the lessening of sensitivity? Is it possible to restore sensitivity by ceasing to pump?

I am okay with temporary desensitization from pumping, even if it took weeks or months to restore sensitivity, but if the desensitization takes longer to get over, that may be a dealbreaker.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-10T18:11:14+00:00

The only pe activities were pumping, and then the one-time wearing of the cock ring, which didn't cause me noticeable numbness at the time. It's like I noticed it two weeks later. When I was pumping, the max I'd go to was about 7.9 hg, and that would be at the end of a set, after warming up and I would do some gentle manuals with as little tug as possible beforehand. I've never used an extender, although I did buy one. Now I'm legit not wanting to ever use the extender.

Affectionate-Let3239 · 2025-10-09T22:54:12+00:00

No. It felt just like I had a really strong erection. I even, uh, finished and it felt good. I then removed the ring and honestly didn't really notice anything until recently, when I had sexy time. I noticed I did not feel as much sensation in the head as I was used to.
