I’ve had circumcision done on Thursday morning because I had sever phimosis most of my life (now 28) and was prone to infections and general discomfort. My glans are super sensitive because I’ve never been able to touch them so that’s the main thing I’m worried about! But my question is, is it best to sleep naked? I’ve removed the bandages this morning in the bath and haven’t covered my penis since then because of the sensitivity? Any advice on this would be much appreciated
Thanks

There's no problem with sleeping naked but it would be better to wear a loose shorts or such so that the contact can desensitize the glans. The glans gets desensitized only on contact and exposure so when you bath try to have contact with the glans with clean hands and also have lots of contact with clothing by wearing loose shorts etc.
If it's to the point of severe discomfort where you are wincing alot , you can try Vaseline petroleum jelly applied as a thin film over the glans head. This will help over 5-7 days
Don't worry about the desensitisation process , it happens to mostly everyone after circ . All the best !
