penile desensitization

Penile desensitization refers to a decrease in sensitivity of the penis, often caused by factors like excessive masturbation, frequent sexual activity, or certain medications. This reduced sensitivity can make it difficult to achieve or maintain an erection or to feel pleasure during intimacy. It may result from overstimulation that temporarily dulls nerve sensitivity. Treatment often involves giving the nerves time to recover, reducing stimulation, or using techniques to gradually regain sensitivity. If persistent, consulting a healthcare provider can help identify underlying causes and develop an appropriate plan.
