First of all, sorry if my English isn’t good to hear. I’m not native speaker and I’m not used to writing..

‘Some’? No, more like 90% loss.. My glans can feel touch but can’t really feel warm/hot and pain. The only good thing is when I orgasm and even then I have to abstain for more than 2 weeks to have a decent erection level and orgasm. Also the erections go away as soon as I stop rubbing unless it’s the first time I masturbate after a few weeks. After I ‘use’ my dick a couple of times after abstaining for a while, I have to do some weird thing in order to achieve erection and orgasm again which is holding my kegel muscle really hard while rubbing my dick and let it loose every few seconds to let it grow, otherwise I can’t get a decent erection and orgasm through rubbing because I don’t feel anything. It feels really thick and insensitive. I was really unhealthy at one point in my life when I was 15 y/o, being an anorexic and online game addict at the same time (which was basically sitting 24/7 and no hormones, let’s call it ‘sick’ from now on). Even when I was ‘sick’, my dick would stand up for at least 5-10 seconds after getting an erection through rubbing and I could feel the ‘breathing’, ‘growing’, and the ‘strength’ of it. I felt the ‘wood’ and the process of growing from flaccid to erect. Right now my dick feels like a guy who has been hit by a car and you need to help him stand up all the time.

Are you kidding? I prefer having a dick that can only get 50% erect while being able to give me 100% sensation. I just have to be that really rich dude and have bitches suck my dick all the time and who cares about what people think. Having a functioning dick while not being able to get much pleasure of it is probably comparable to a chick that has to fake orgasm all the time with a man. And I don’t think it’s even the same level since probably she could just change partner, or, at least use a dildo herself and have pleasure and orgasm to her liking.
Also my dick is so far from ‘functioning’.. There are some structural and behavioral changes after the jelqing/stretching injury (don’t really remember which exact exercise caused the problem):
-Glans feels numb and disconnected. It can feel touch but can’t really feel warm/hot and pain and also very numb pleasure.
-Smaller flaccid. Back then my flaccid size would vary depending on temperature, blood flow/hormonal level. The numb glans probably contributes to the ‘smaller’ feeling but the flaccid is also actually smaller. It’s horrible sometimes when walking in public it feels like you only have skin hanging down there.
-Flaccid almost retracts/turtles all the time. It’s different between turtling while being anxious/in shower. That kind of ‘turtling’ reacts if you touch it and make it warm. This turtling doesn’t react to anything at all.
-Super numb flaccid and turtling after exercise that doesn’t come back to normal for a while
-Sometimes when turtling the flaccid feels hard. When I touch it, I notice it’s the glans that is keeping some of its erection firmness, also the shaft feels shortened and retracted. Also there are times when the flaccid, while still being short, gets really fat and hard at the base with all the big veins showing. ‘Hard flaccid’, as people know it.
-0 random boners unless I have a super perverted thought. It wasn’t that hard to get before the injury even when I was ‘sick’.
-Weak and rarer morning woods. Right after the injury, my dick shrank really bad and I got that sudden and drastic loss of feeling. It’s like that feeling when getting a call from someone who tells you that one of your family member dies, but it’s in my dick. There was no pain at all. I tried to rub it to see the reaction but it felt really numb and weird and didn’t react. Kegels didn’t pump blood to the glans. Then it went white and dead for a week. Hot wraps didn’t help, it was still white and dead. I also had the urge to piss all the time and had trouble controlling farts initially. Maybe after the injury, my body unconsciously started to hate controlling the kegel/pelvic muscle because it didn’t do anything to the dick I don’t know..
-Glans doesn’t get as hard during erection as it used to be.
-Hot wraps don’t engorge my flaccid like it used to be. Before, my flaccid would go loose, thick and engorged aka semi-erect. It felt like it was breathing. Sometimes I was even able get erections from hot wraps. Now, it only changes the shape a little and sometimes the flaccid gets hard and veiny in the base by the hot wraps..
-Can’t get erections that don’t deflate right after stopping physical stimulation, unless I only bust once every 2 weeks.
-When I ejaculate, I don’t have that funny feeling in the glans anymore. I can rub it as many times as I want or get a girl to lick it and I won’t flinch at all. Also abstaining for a few weeks helps a bit with this problem but when I start to bust every other day it gets numb again. It wasn’t like that before injury.
-Sometimes I can ejaculate without the glans becoming hard.
I probably stretched the glans too far and got the ‘hard flaccid’ symptom as a result. Some people suggest that this is just a simple matter of pelvic floor imbalance and pelvic floor therapy will help a lot. But how does it help ‘cure’ the numbness in the dick? Can someone expert in this matter explain to me? Or does it only help a bit but not fully cure it? I can only imagine that the source of the problem is because we have a numb dick, and when we have a numb dick, we will squeeze the pelvic muscles really hard when masturbating/having sex in order to ‘feel’ something and this makes the pelvic floor become really tight and thus it restricts the blood flow to the genital area even further, am I right or not?
