No sensation in shaft of penis
Posted: 08-13-08 09:26am

Hello, I'm posting here because I believe I have a problem with my penis, and honestly I'm a bit scared (I'm 20 years old). Until recently, I've never noticed that I have very little sensitivity in the shaft of my penis. I can feel it if I pinch the skin fairly gently with my fingernails, but it's a very dull sensation with little sense of immediacy. This is a problem because I'm unable to ejaculate/orgasm during intercourse with my girlfriend. She's the only girl I've ever slept with, so in my mind I'd always figured that because sex is not something that I have varied experiences with, I could just sort of put the issue in the back of my mind, assuming that I suffered from retarded ejaculation due to becoming too used to the regular hand grip during masturbation.

However, during sex I've been paying a lot more attention to the sensation so that I can get to the bottom of the problem. I've noticed that I have what I believe to be "normal" levels of sensitivity in the glans, where I have pleasurable sensations during sex. However, it is hard to be certain that even these sensation levels are normal, as I have unfortunately only ever been the possessor of one penis. During sex I have zero feeling in my shaft, except for feelings of warmth. During oral this is also the case. I have only ever been able to ejaculate from manual or a combination of simultaneous oral and manual stimulation. This is pretty caca because it means that sex isn't very physically enjoyable, although I get a lot emotionally from it, and still want to do it, which leads me to believe that I have normalish libido levels and do not have any psychological issues about sex.

I now therefore think that I do not suffer from retarded ejaculation, as I now attribute my inability to ejaculate (not even get close) from intercourse and straight oral to the near numbness of my shaft. I did not really notice it until it became an issue, and so believed it to be normal. However, in light of these new revelations, I am led to the conclusion that I have a broken dick.

My girlfriend currently lives in a different country, so before I last saw her I tried banking for about two and a half weeks, but even this did not help. It simply rendered me as a horny and irritable ejaculate-balloon.

This is a real problem for me. It means that I can sex indefinitely, but because I received little physical sensation, as I find the the glans is not massively stimulated during intercourse, I often get bored after about an hour. It also means that quickies are a totally phatic affair. I haven't spoken to my girlfriend about this, as I'm far too embarrassed, but I sense that she's becoming frustrated by the fact that I never finish during sex, and it's maybe making her feel self-conscious, despite me being fairly confident that it's a problem with me.

I don't know if the following factors can have anything to do with what I have decided to name Broken Dick Syndrome (BDS), but I'll mention them in case they do.

I've had a bad back since I was about 11 or 12 (basically when puberty began). It cracks very loudly if I twist in the correct way, which relieves the ache for a while. I have bad feet, which may be the cause of my bad back, and I am oddly flexible in strange ways. For example, I can get my leg behind my head with not a great deal of effort; if I sit with my feet together, in front of my groin area and with knees bent outwards to my sides, I can push my knees to the floor with no effort whatsoever (I know this because it's a stretch I do at my martial arts class, a depth of stretch that not even the teacher can get close to, even though I'm a white belt.) A friend of mine who studies physiotherapy recently told me that my hips are freakishly flexible, despite getting bad cramps in them. I'm also adamant that I could give myself oral sex, but it's not something I could ever try because every time I've considered proving it I could not shake the image of my dad looking very disapprovingly at me out of my head. Perhaps my penis nerves are caught up in the curious matrix of spine- and hip-freakery.

I also remember once during my prime masturbatory years (14, 15 or so) I sustained some sort of penis injury through what I will describe as enjoying myself with excessive frequency. I remember a very sharp, painful sensation inside my penis. I can imagine it now, but still could not explain exactly what it was. I tried knocking one out the next day to see if it fixed, but it hadn't. I continued to masturbate daily anyway, which was probably stupid. I think this has happened to me more than once.

It also happened once during sex. Recently when I was with my girlfriend, she was on top and was getting carried away, and she obviously either hates me or misinterpreted my whinces of pain for "whinces" of pleasure. It was the exact same pain.

I'm sorry for this very long post, but like I mentioned I'm a bit scared, and wanted to offer all of the information I could. If anyone knows what this is or what I should do then I would be very, very very grateful. Please help me combat BDS! Thank you for your time.
