Restoring penile sensitivity

[Pacman]

I am having trouble with sensitivity in my penis (it is not sexually sensitive at all), and recently when I had sex it was VERY difficult to maintain an erection with a condom on. I was only able to maintain it with no condom, and even then I had some issues...

So I am posting this thread after I did a general search on this forum and found a lot of discussion surrounding this topic, and it seemed (based off of a quick scan of the discussions) that the most discussed problem/solution was E2? As in estradiol?

Is that really the main cause?

I really badly want to restore penis sensitivity. Please give me advice if you have any.

In the mean time, I am reducing self stimulation because I am sure that I caused part of this, and when I DO self stimulate I will only do it with lube, so no dry rubbing. Also, I started using this Man1 oil: https://www.amazon.com/Man1-Natural-Penile-Health-Cream/dp/B00AN5WWJ4

I think it works? But I am not sure.

Anyone have any input based off of personal experience or otherwise? Please let me know. Thank you!

I have indications that it is a high Estrogen thing for me, a number of high estrogen things that resolved and that was something that I had improvement with. Not totally resolved but a def change for the better.

Can you elaborate on what exactly got better? And how long it took?

I don't understand how high estrogen correlates with decreased physical sensitivity of the penis.

Also as a side (but related) question, to my understanding it is the ratio E:T that matters rather than the raw number, when it comes to side effects. Meaning that you can have very high out of range estrogen levels, but as long as your T levels are also very high out of range then you shouldn't really have any estrogenic side effects at least nothing severe. This is how some bodybuilders can run cycles and not need AIs....

Am I misunderstanding how it all works?

I think you are misunderstanding it but we're all so very different in what works and what doesn't for each guy is really baffling and trying to fit in to a narrow box is how guys fail.

I had a lot of things resolve...body acne whereas I can shower once per day with regular body wash now, orgasm is much more intense, sensitivity is noticeably improved, Im less prone to wanting to fight...the more you buck the trend and look outside the norm, as I don't subscribe to the T:E ratio, Im bothered by E no matter my Test levels it seems.

Having figured out my E2 being in close proximity to my SHBG level which is ~13, my E2 being very close to that or single digits resolved so many things and is absolutely outside the norm of what the mainstream wants to tell us. Too, testing Free Estrogen makes a hell of a difference for me.

What did it solve for you? Are you taking AIs? How long did it take you to feel better (in whatever it made better for you)?

I am always wary of adding more stuff to my lifelong treatment, but if it may change stuff for the better I am open to trying it.
