This is freaking the shit out of me

Hi everyone! It’s already been 4 days since I took rest from PE because of an injury. My penis got numb on the shaft region (like there’s a mild anesthesia in it) after I did my jelq session. This is now starting to scare the hell out of me. I don’t really know what kind of injury is this. Did I overdo my session or does it just happen to most of us who do PE? I want to get the old sensitivity back. I really don’t know what to do at this point. Pls. Enlighten me guys. Has this ever happened to any of you? Tnx in advance.

Don’t continue PE until you are completely recovered. What probably happened was you applied to much pressure then you can handle at this point. You need to take it easy with the pressure in the future, and you need to follow the newbie routine. I think this has happened to most of us to a certain degree, but most people know it is asinine to squeeze the shit out of your dick as a newbie if they have read the pages and pages of info on this forum.

Good luck, and you will be fine. It doesn’t sound that serious, but it is possible that someone with more experience and knowledge on this subject will give you different advice. I have personally never experienced this, but have read about it.

Where exactly is it numb? Is the area localized, or is the entire dick numb?

Take a toothpick. Lightly run the tip of it around the skin on your dick, can you feel the tip of the toothpick? Now try and push it into your dick (but obviously not hard enough to cause injury) you just want to see if you can sense the pressure of the thing sticking you.

There is a nerve running straight down the dorsal (top) side of your dick, directly in the middle, when you PE you want to stay clear of this area (i.e. put pressure moderately on the sides of your erect penis, not just squeeze the heck out of it and hope for the best).

If you did nerve damage, give it time to heal. This can take anywhere from a few days, to weeks, to at most - months. Give some hot wraps for comfort, and let me know how the toothpick thing goes.

Antioxidants could help both blood vessels and nerves:

3-5g calcium ascorbate (a type of vitamin C that’s easy on the stomach so you can take large doses)
600mg alpha lipoic acid
1000iu vitamin E

TO Wt282,

I did the toothpick thing and everything went well.. I can feel it running down my skin. But when I use my hands.. I still can barely feel it. The numb part is just on the mid shaft down to the base. I remember this has happened to me before but it went well the next day. I think that it’s really nerve damage just like you said because my EQ is still a perfect 10 if I would describe it. That’s the only problem.. The numbness..

My next question is.. Will I lose all my gains (0.5 inch in EL) if I lay off PE for about a month? What do you think?

Thank you for the quick reply. Tnx everyone!
