Quitting porn same as edging?

Thanks Yataghan. That sounds like me. When she was giving me a BJ I couldn’t even feel like she was doing anything to me except when she put her tongue on the frenulum. Even then it didn’t feel like it felt when getting a handjob. Right now my frenulum is so much less sensitive than how it used to be. I used to drive myself to the edge with just light strokes on the frenulum but now I have to add my mind to get that close - will myself as you put it. I’ll give it a week of jelqing and see how it goes after that.

I’ve been off porn for close to six months and masturbate so rarely with the last time being almost three weeks ago. Things that I’ve been doing differently recently are stretching without jelqing (stopped since), high dose Iodine, reducing estrogen with supplements. I hope I soon get to enjoy everything like you seem to be.

Haha. Well, for me the BJ is still elusive & I’ve never cum from it. If you work that one out, let me know!

Sorry to hear that. I will let you know if it happens for me; if I don’t forget :)

How about generic cialis? About an hour after taking a pill my penis felt numb and lifeless. It is that same numbness that I have nowadays. I’m getting paranoid and scared now. I hope I can fix this soon. Anyone get numb from cialis?

Bruna, I’ve found that length routines always reduce my sensitivity and girth routines always increase my sensitivity. When I started hanging I discovered that, instead of having to exercise control to hold back my orgasms, that I actually had to work harder to cum. When I switched to clamping, I was like an 18 year old again and could barely control myself — my wife and I got a laugh a couple of times because I came so fast. I’ve since switched back to hanging and, once again, I can go all night without trying and my wife is having to work harder to get me off. In my experience, these effects only last as long as you’re doing the routine — my sensitivity has always returned to normal within a couple of weeks off PE.

If you’re actually getting numbness, though, and not just reduced sensitivity, then I think you’ve probably done some nerve damage. You need to take some time off — probably a couple of weeks — to let this heal. When you return to PE, don’t pull so damn hard!

I would agree with other posters that quitting porn would not decrease sensitivity — it would increase it. I really think that this is just a fact of life with length routines — maybe not for everyone, but at least for some of us.

Thanks roosterstretch. I will take 2-3 weeks off and see how much sensation I get back.

After taking a bit of a break I still have this problem. It’s so weird to me and at the same time I don’t know what to make of it. When I’m getting a BJ I pretty much can’t get any good sensation on my glans and frenulum. But as soon as she changes to handjob it doesn’t take too long for me to cum.

I’m wondering if she doesn’t know how to do a BJ properly since I get really good sensation with the handjob. Or maybe it’s because we use lube with handjob and none with blowjob? As soon as she switches from HJ to BJ I sometimes go from PONR all the way back to the beginning.

Is it possible to lose EQ from stretching too hard? I never feel pain when stretching, but I AM pulling considerably harder than when I started 2 months ago.

Yes you can lose EQ if you overstretch or stretch without jelqing.

In my case, I have to consider the possibility that my problem might be due to peripheral neuropathy. At first I noticed my dick would be cold when I was going to sleep. At the same time, my feet and face would get itchy and cold. I’ve just started on a few supplements to address the peripheral neuropathy; hopefully this addresses my penis issues as well.

I’m not sure what caused my loss of sensation but I’m getting scared I might never regain it. I can feel it when I touch it, but it doesn’t feel good in a sexual way.

The only way I can cum from a blowjob is if I thrust in her mouth. Otherwise there’s no chance I’m getting anywhere near to cumming.

The possible causes are:
-Jelqing the wrong way
-Stretching too close to the glans
-Glans exercises (Sadsak and HJ jelqs)
-Topical Iodine on shaft and glans
-Fowfers (surprised to see fluid buildup after)
-**Peripheral Neuropathy eliminated this as a possible cause

A little over a month before I first noticed the loss of sensation, I started getting fluid buildups on the shaft and on the glans. Not too much fluid buildup but enough that it took a few hours to totally subside. I took almost three weeks off before starting PE again; sensation didn’t get better in those three weeks off. Can someone who might have gone through the same situation please reassure me if possible at all?

Have you seen a doctor?

No I haven’t. The thing is it’s not a total loss of sensation. I feel it when I touch it; it just doesn’t feel as good as it used to. And I’m hoping it comes back but it’s been a little over a month and no difference.

Well, what you’re describing could be caused by nerve damage, which can result from stretching and hanging type exercises. This is nearly always temporary though and should reverse after a few weeks or a month of decon. If you’ve taken a full month off PE and the sensation hasn’t recovered, then I would really consider getting a proper medical opinion. I wouldn’t freak out — you’ll almost certainly be fine — but when your unit is on the line, I think it’s better to err on the side of safety. If you haven’t actually stopped PE 100% for at least a few weeks then, you probably should and see what happens. Just my $0.02.

Thanks. I stopped PE for about two weeks and didn’t feel any difference after that break. It feels a bit different now; there’s zero numbness. But still the problem that hasn’t resolved itself is that it doesn’t feel good during blowjobs. I will have to stop all PE for as long as this takes to fix itself.
