Has Over-Masturbating Numbed my Penis and Lowered my Libido?

I have been masturbating ever since about eight years of age when I accidentally came across it whilst fiddling with my bits. Since then I had become a very regular masturbator, at times masturbating every day for periods of weeks on end. I always watch porn. When I was around 15 years old I noticed the pleasure leaving and soon I developed an inability to orgasm.

I am now nearly 17 years old (am heterosexual) and have several sexual health issues which may be linked to over-masturbation or gripping too hard, perhaps giving myself what is sometimes known as the “death grip” in which the penis is numbed by damaging nerve endings. However I have researched that this could be linked to low testosterone levels which could also explain my low libido and inability to sustain a powerful erection, even with my girlfriend. (Very embarrassing).

My orgasms are often extremely weak and leave me feeling stressed and frustrated.

I do sometimes have random erections throughout the day, often without any kind of sexual stimulation whatsoever. Why is it then that I am able to get hard spontaneously but find it very difficult to do so with my girlfriend? Is it just that I’m putting too much pressure on myself? (It is thanks to this problem that I’m still a virgin).

Despite the very limited pleasure I gain from masturbation, I still do so several times a week, more out of habit than actual desire for sexual pleasure as I seem to have a low libido- sex does not appeal to me and I’ve forgotten what a good **** actually feels like.

Is there a way I can get rid of my conditions? Regain sensitivity in my penis? Increase my libido? Once again have powerful erections, easily stimulated by sexual activity and leading to a powerful orgasm?

Please help me 🙏

I had a similar problem, a lot of guys do. It becomes extremely addicting. You simply just need to stop, go like 30 days without masterbating and you'll regain sensitivity. Don't let it control your life. I'm 3 years older than you and this became a bit of a problem, from masterbating too much I got into weird ****, and when it was time for actual sex it made it harder. Its not too late to fix yourself dude. Go 30 days, as hard as that is, without masterbating. I'm quitting now too.

Thank you sm bro, I thought that might be a possible solution but I wanted to be sure. I’m definitely gonna take a long break. My only worry is what if my gf wants to have sex before the 30 days which is v likely? Would that not send me back to square 1?

I say don't miss out on sex but don't do it that often either, a few times in that 30 day period should be ok. Maybe wait a few days before sex, but holding out for 30 days on masterbation is also about breaking the habit, so you no longer have these uncontrollable urges. If you're having sex and its painful, then yeah sure stop. Also, you can still pleasure her without using your penis, like you can finger her or lick her nipples or whatever.

Cheers, I’m only likely to have sex a couple times in that period anyways coz I mean I’ve already fingered her n done pretty much everything which doesn’t involve having sex so she kinda wants to go all the way now, n I’m down as long as it doesn’t have any bad effects. I’m sure the urge to masturbate will die down as I get used to not doing it. Thanks sm for ur help man :smile:

My problem, when dealing with this issue, was that I couldn't stay hard during sex. If you can, real sex will not do damage. The damage is from the method of jerking yourself off. A vagina does not grip as tightly. It will actually help your penis back to normal if you get used to having sex, while not masturbating. If you keep masturbating this way, and have sex, then it won't help much. But, bottom line, I've dealt with this for about 10 years now (I'm 28). I've even taken Viagra. My d**k still works somehow. I'm sure you won't do permanent damage. One warning I do have tho: Don't let any girl jerk you off wrong! One time, my d**k was so numb and I didn't realize how hard this girl was jerking me off (she was inexperienced). Had the worst pain for like a week after that and could not get hard normally for a couple more weeks. Closest I've come to someone actually breaking my d**k.
