Hi, I've been reading quite a few posts on here on sensitivity, doesn't seem to be something many people have had a resoution on, but I'd be interested to know if anybody can help....
Since start of Jan (5 months ago) I've had a big loss in penis sensitivity I'm 44 so initially was just wondering if it's an ageing thing, but looking back I think that's unlikely since it happened fairly suddenly. My dick feels like at best its a 5/10 in sensitivity, but fluctuates requently to about a 1/10. There is a fully numb patch on one side which never goes away, the rest sems to vary with no real pattern that I can tell.
Thankfully I can still get a good erection, orgasm, ejaculate, have sex, morning wood, masturbate to porn etc, but trying to get hard from sensation only is nearly impossible. Sex and blowjobs feels like I'm waring a half-inch thick prosthetic over my dick. Cialis and Viagra both work well, so I can still have sex, but it just doesn't feel all that good. I have no "electricity" feeling like I used to, no "tingling" of any kind.
The only thing I can think of that happened was in Jan I tried taking testogel twice - I did 3 pumps (60mg) then left it a week and did the same again a week later. During this time and for about 2 weeks after I couldn't get an erection at all, no matter how much I tired, used porn etc etc. In the end my erections returned but then this numbness started.
I really can't believe that using the gel twice would have had such an effect on me, so I still wonder if there's something else behind it and that the gel was just a coincidence.
5 months later it doesn't seem to have improved at all, really not sure what to do now. Really interested to hear if anybody has had anything similar, or what options I might have
