Hello all, I'm a 21 year old. Gender: male as you may have assumed. About a year ago I tried jelqing, a natural "penis enlargement" technique where you try to push blood flow into your penis and trap it there supposedly making it larger over time. In reality, I think it creates scar tissue which in a way does make your penis slightly bigger over time but of course is very damaging. I jelqed for about 6 weeks total. After the last session, I had an ache in my shaft for some days. I quit cold turkey after that. I noticed a pretty significant loss of sensitivity but ignorantly figured it would just heal itself and regularly masturbated the next couple months. I noticed it took much longer than usual to ejaculate and harder to hold onto an erection. I had lost a significant amount of sensitivity and was having to heavily rub my foreskin to make anything happen. I started getting to a point where I had to wait a week between masturbation to successfully make myself climax. I know it was idiotic to continue this but at the time, I stupidly stayed optimistic and figured things would magically heal themselves. As a guy that always had a sub-average sized penis, I constantly got erections whether it was because I had to pee, my penis rubbed slightly the wrong way on my shorts, something pushed against it, etc would cause me a never ending erection to the point where I usually had some daily discomfort in my shaft from constant stimulation. I decided to believe that maybe this new lack of erections was a step in the more normal direction. After some months, I noticed even more sensitivity loss and quit masturbating completely. Its been about 4 months since I last masturbated and I've lowered drinking to almost nothing. I've gained a very small amount of sensitivity back only in my foreskin so I'm starting to wonder if it'll ever come back.. I do have a history of very very low testosterone but recently got that fixed with some meds (Clomid) and was at 800 2 months ago. No longer on the pill so I should probably get it checked again as I assume higher T can only benefit this particular healing process.
I've seen 4 different doctors (2 being urologists) and no answers.
Symptoms: White spots on foreskin, less noticeable when erect b/c blood flow. A lot of spider veins. Entire shaft has almost no sexual sensitivity in it; the feeling of rubbing it can be compared to rubbing your finger; I feel it but no pleasing feelings/sensation. I sometimes get dull pain at the base of my penis, between the base and my pelvic floor only on the left side when I use the muscle for pushing out pee/poop. When I masturbated often after the injury I noticed pain in this spot except much sharper when I achieved hard erections and would pull my penis to my stomach to relieve it. The belly of my shaft, only on the half closer to the glands is my most sensitive area since the injury and seemed to be the least effected spot. I do still achieve erections while sleeping so I don't think it's a vascular issue.
If you made it this far, thank you for reading. If there's anyone that has experienced something similar, any advice is greatly appreciated. If you're going through what I'm going through, lets talk! I'll tell you things I've tried and vice versa. If anyone has any knowledge or idea of how I might regain some sensitivity, please share your thoughts. Thank you.

I can’t help you with your penis but I can help with the scars and marks. I’ve been using an oil it’s an intense oil care. I use it for scars, marks, warts on my anus and it cleared it off after at least 3 weeks use. You can get it on evanschmitt.mymonat.com and the oil is called rejuveniqe oil. You’ll love it I promise
Hey if you are suffering from a loss of sensitivity I can share my story. youtube.com/watch?v=xyfyR7_... Basically your penis should be able to heal naturally even while masturbating. You just need to use the lightest grip possible and preferably even lube. Otherwise besides making sure you and no one else is being too rough with it, your penis will heal naturally. You may not get to 100% if you started the process a little too late. However you can gain a lot more feeling back and get on the right track. Also dont think about it too much and trust your body. Hope it goes well man.
Thank you! I will give this a go. My sensitivity has gotten like 15% better since I started using a tens unit daily on my sacrum area. I put two pads right in the middle of my ass cheeks 1 on each side about 1.5 inches from the crack. Then I put 1 on each side of the top of my ass/lower back right where my tan line from my pants and just to the outside of where that bone is as you don't want it on the bone.
I'm no medical expert, but I believe you have had a minor injury from the jelqing, and then you get the natural psychological result: The more you want the sensitivity and orgasm, the more your mind holds it away. Variations of this happen to almost all guys at one time or another. The most common version is you can't get it up when you want to. So, you really want to, and then that makes it even more difficult to get erect.
Therapy?
1. Just know that in the end, everything will be OK. Men who have had nerves severed in their penis can still have orgasms, so some loss of sensitivity is not a problem. Also know that the loss of sensitivity may be imagined. Like a friend of mine who in his 30s, was sure he was getting Alzheimer's disease. Every time he forgot something, he was sure he was done for, and of course he really, really noticed every time he was forgetful.
2. Masturbate with an incredibly light touch, especially in that 'belly' area and up to the underside of the glans. The objective here isn't to cum, but just enjoy the touch. If you should happen to orgasm after a while, that'll be OK.
Ehhh I hear ya as I've seen cases where guys found out it was in their head. In my case, I told myself for weeks that I didn't lose sensitivity. Then I made excuses that it was probably because i was going out a lot and drinking a lot at the time. Then I told myself, hey maybe I'm finally at normal sensitivity because I was so sensitive before. It really isn't something that bears on my mind either. I've noticed some improvement from using a tens unit which is nice. It mainly improves the sensitivity in my glans but I'm positive it's not a mental thing.
It actually took me a couple months to realize I had a serious issue. Before that, I just made excuses for it thinking I was fine. I'm going to give #2 a try though! Thank you for your thoughts, much appreciated. I also finally convinced my urologist to do a MRI on the pelvis just incase there's anything. Will rule things out. I'm also starting an anti-inflammation diet for other reasons; didn't make the connection but that could actually help. We'll see
