Numb Penis

I’ve been PEing a little over a month now, I’ve notice some small gains in terms of my measurements, around 0.2 EL, and 0.1-0.2 EG. Even my girlfriend has noticed that it was bigger. My penis has been feeling Numb though, as if I have a loss in sensation during sex or masturbation. I took a break for about a week and it still feels somewhat numb, but what I don’t understand is I have so many other positive signs. My flaccid length is huge compared to before, I used to shrink up into a little thing now I look twice as large flaccid. My EQ is amazing, I get so rock hard it feels like my penis is gonna rip itself out of my body. I have not measured during my break, but my Girth seems to have increased as well during this time; overall I feel a lot more massive. I think the problem may be the fact that I jelq with a very high erection level since it gets hard while I jelq.

I was wondering if anyone else has this problem of Numbness and if it goes away? Should I lighten up on my hold? Is it alright to jelq at a higher level, since I read it helps with girth? I would love to have a massive Penis, but not at the expense of sensation.

TSX,

Are you also stretching?

I’ve always had problems with loss of glans sensation if I gripped too hard during stretches.

Otherwise, maybe you are jelqing too “hard” too “close” to the head. There’s a balance that you will learn as you progress:

The harder you get, the lighter you grip and vice versa(at least for me.) I also lighten WAY up as I get to the end of the jelq stroke. Definite feel thing going on.

Sensation came back, er no?

Sure. Think the longest I went was week. Nothing terrifying, just “general” loss of sensitivity.

Ironically, if stretching “correctly”(for me,) I get EXTREMELY sensitive around the glans. Go figure.

Your grip is to hard and your erection level is to high. If you persist at this level of PE you will lose EQ level. Make the break longer. If PE hurts it ain’t working. Make sure you warm up and stretch before you jelq. Use a much lighter grip.

Thanks for the reply everyone! I think I kind of knew I was doing it hard, it’s just I had this pre-conception that I must truly feel the workout to know it’s working, but I realize that is definitely wrong. I’m going to take a break a bit longer since I am slowly returning to my original level of sensation; I’ll wait till I think I am back to 100% before I start again, maybe 2 more weeks.

Good idea man. I had the same problem and had to wait for sensitivity to return but once you damage nerves i think they are way more prone to over working and hence numbness than before. So, make sure, sure, sure you start again when they are fully back to 100 %, even if that is a year (not that long when you consider that you’ll need it for another forty). We don’t know how repeated injuries damage nerves (actually nerve damage and healing might be a good thing to look up on the internet) but it could be a multiplier of the amount of damage done each time as opposed to the sum of. So start of so light that you can just barely feel it, maybe even lighter and only do 40 first time and do it every other day and work slowly up to the newby routine.

From other posts, it looks like the nerve runs down the top of the shaft. Maybe concentrate on not squeezing on the nerve as hard?
