Pumped too much, now glans less sensitive and orgasm less intense

[stan095]

I was overzealous with pumping at average 7mmHg for 10 minutes once per day with rest days for roughly 4 weeks. Sometimes I would go to pain and then drop the pressure by a couple of mmHg. It's one mistake I'll never make again. My routine was pretty irregular, with some days of consecutive PE, some times 2-3 days of rest. Near the latter half of the month I've also worked in jelqing post-pumping, but the jelqing sessions were vigorous as well, using the OK grip x100 reps.

I'm now finding my less orgasms to be about 50% reduced in intensity. The warm sensation I get at the tip of my penis just before I ejaculate is now gone, replaced with mostly numbness. The reduced sensation at the tip I think is contributing to a less intense head rush in my orgasm. I still get morning wood but I'm now finding myself with less desire to have sex or masturbate due to all that is happening. My erection quality, I'm unsure if it has been affected.

From my reading I think I likely suffered nerve damage. I've stopped PE for a month now, masturbating 2x per week to check on things. I haven't notice an improvement in all this but I know nerve recovery is slow, taking up to a year.

Could any one offer me any optimism? Is there any strong evidence that vitamin B or E complex will help? Should I abstain from sex or masturbation to promote healing or is the occasional session acceptable?

Thanks for the help. I've learned a hard lesson. I'm hoping I won't pay for it permanently.

Hey Stan!

It could just be bruising which toughened the skin a bit and reduced sensitivity. In either case rest time is the best cure. Perhaps some light jelqing to force in more blood will help.

I've had that happen in the past as well Stan. Pumped at WAY too high a pressure, and seemed to lose sensitivity. Eventually it did come back though. Just go very gentle on your member for a while, and try to lay off the masturbation as much as possible. This will help with making it more sensitive to stimulation when you DO get touched.

Thanks for the help guys. How long did it take your injuries to recover. Was it on the scale of 2-3 months?

[stan095]

Does anyone have any more insight on this? I've lost something precious that I took for granted. Now my life is overtaken by grief.

Has anyone experienced the same thing but recovered? Did you lose your intense orgasms but regained it months later?

Stan have you noticed or suspected any gains in length or girth from pumping?

[stan095]

Yes, from my measurements I think I've gained roughly 1 cm in BPEL. I question if it's a real gain, which is why I didn't state it in my OP. I don't think I've made much, if any, girth gains.

My biggest fear is that the pressure somehow destroyed the sensory nerves. I know injured nerves can repair themselves, to a degree, depending on the severity of the injury. I didn't expect my overpumping to be so devastating.

Have U been doing any other type of PE or just pumping?

All I can say is get some vaseline and do about a 100-200 light jelqs..That may also bring length/girth gains with it..

I did jelqing too but I went hard with those too. Lesson learned.

It's been about 2 months since the injury now and I can feel things getting better. I had sex about 2 weeks ago with a better orgasm but not 100% there. Still it's a sign of improvement. According to some neurosurgery textbooks, nerves take up to a year to recover. I broke down the last 2 weeks and masturbated a few times but will need to cut back still as close to zero as possible to help it heal as much as possible.

Glad to hear you're getting sensitivity back brother! Try to lay off the masturbation as much as possible. You're on the road to recovery I think.
