Ideas to combat lack of sensitivity

[Karzam]

Hi all,

I'd value your thoughts on an idea I'd had for helping my reboot. I'm doing no PMO and have reached day 22, and so far so good. I'm aware however that as part of the symptoms of my porn days, I've got a very insensitive penis - on a scale of 1 - 10, if I touch my penis with something other than my hand, it's barely registering a 2 in terms of sensitivity.

So, I'd come up with two ideas to combat this:

1. Every evening, just touch my penis with a cotton bud / soft tissue, etc. - just to focus on the sensation that it provides, so I can learn to become more sensitive down there.

2. Get Tantric massages - whilst a bit pricey I could get massages where the woman massages you, and focuses on the genitals. Again, this seems like a viable idea to me, although I wouldn't want to go to orgasm. However, it would allow me to experience being touched down there at least.

Do you guys have any thoughts about either / both of these options? Just to emphasize, I'm still doing the no PMO and not intending to give that up, I'm just trying to improve the sensitivity down there.

Thanks,

Karzam.

Great to hear that you are being proactive about this! If you feel it helps with the cotton bud thing, go for it. However, be aware that the lack of "sensation" you are feeling is unlikely to do with your penis at all. It's your brain that is desensitised which results in feeling symptoms of an insensitive penis. The sensation in your penis is there, it's just your brain isn't getting off on it because it's so used to being over stimulated visually. Be patient, lay off the PMO and enjoy the benefits of 10/10 sensitivity when you've rebooted long enough for your brain to re-sensitise.

to me what was most helpful was to just leave it alone for a while and now only with simple rubbing with the tip of the fingers can get it up; i don?t know if constant stimulation is the best idea; but if it works let us know!!!!

Thanks us, I appreciate the replies. I'm sure that the no PMO will have the greatest effect, but I'll report back about the variations.

So this explains fully why the penis gets somewhat less sensitize during PIED?

Yea I'd say so. A year ago I couldn't feel my dick. Now I have to lube the shit out of it to stop it going off so quick. All I changed was quitting PMO.
