Top Ways to Increase Penis Sensitivity
It is everyone’s right and choice to partake in pleasurable activities. But what if one day you could no longer feel as good as you once did? What if you stopped feeling the wonderful sensations you once felt through self or partnered pleasure?
Let's face it, we all age. Physically, aging may cause us to slow down a bit or lose some strength and stamina, but we often accept it as a part of life. However, when it comes to aging and how it affects our pleasure, losing a bit of sensation in your penis may not be something we can easily accept. As we are well aware, pleasure opens up doors to so many other amazing things, such as a release of beneficial chemicals and hormones, as well as positive feelings to help you take command of the day.
But there are also cases in which a medical condition or injury can contribute to a dulling of the senses. In these circumstances, you might have sustained some injury to your penis due to diabetes, or perhaps some long-term damage due to what we have previously coined as "high risk masturbation methods," such as having too strong a grip when masturbating, or some other type of strong physical stimulation, like floor humping. This can result in nerve damage or reduced blood flow to the penis causing a loss in sensitivity.
While we would sincerely hope that aging does not affect our ability to feel such pleasure, we know time always wins. Fortunately, there are ways in which we can make the most of our time here, and be able to help reverse the effects of aging when it comes to feeling good.
In either case, losing penis sensitivity can become a very frustrating experience. If you are suffering through penile sensitivity issues, whether it be due to age or by injury, we hope that these top ways to help increase your penis sensitivity may be of great benefit to you. After all, we want to make sure you get all the sensation back that you’ve enjoyed in the past!

When Does Penis Sensitivity Decline?
At a younger age, we may have been more concerned about being too stimulated, even resulting in premature ejaculation. We may have tried to last longer so that we could feel more confident about satisfying our partners. But as we age, our sensitivity begins to decline. One report claims that penile sensitivity may even start to decline for some people beginning from the age of 25, and see the largest declines from age 65 to 75.
Causes Of Decreased Penis Sensitivity
Various factors can decrease sensitivity of the penis. Here we discuss some of the major causes. Later, we will go over some of the actions you can take to remedy these issues we list here.
Age - as the body grows older, blood flow to the penis may decrease or slow due to changes in the condition of the heart and blood vessels. Poor circulation leads to poorer sensitivity.
Hormone Levels - low testosterone levels can lead to a variety of issues. Testosterone levels decline on average about 1% a year after age 40. Some side effects of low testosterone (low T) can be a reduction of sexual desire and activity, or a decreased spontaneous erection, even erectile dysfunction.
Obesity and Diabetes - in this day and age, it is not uncommon to have, or know someone, with Type 2 diabetes. Obesity often leads to Type 2 diabetes. Besides its life-threatening consequences, if not treated in time, Type 2 diabetes can also affect the nervous system, including the nerves and blood vessels in the penis. Some cases of erectile dysfunction (ED) can be caused by this disease.
High Risk Masturbation Methods - Certain masturbation techniques which require a large amount of unnatural force may cause damage to the penis. Over time and repeated practice, it may also create a physical as well as psychological need for such unnatural force in order to create arousal and orgasm, which may affect your performance with a partner. One such high risk masturbation method is floor masturbation, or floor humping.
Floor masturbation, sometimes called prone masturbation, is a type of sexual activity where an individual masturbates in the prone position using either the floor, a mattress, or a pillow to stimulate their genitals by rubbing against it. This puts a large amount of pressure on the genitals, including nerves found at the base of the penis. The pressure can often feel more intense than sensations felt during partnered sex, and masturbating this way on a regular basis can potentially make the sensations felt in other types of sex less than satisfying.
Tips on How to Increase Penile Sensitivity
As we’ve mentioned some causes of decreased penis sensitivity, we didn’t want to leave you without offering some simple and natural solutions to help you recover from them. Here are some tips on how to help recover and increase your penile sensitivity.
Age - as we had mentioned previously, aging causes poor blood circulation, which leads to less blood flow to the penis. Before sexual activity, try to refrain from eating, as the body will have to concentrate on digestion and route more blood towards these efforts. In addition, before sex, you can also get the blood flowing more by doing some light exercising.
Hormone Levels - many physicians may recommend exercise to help with low hormone levels as well. Certain exercises may have a small influence on testosterone production, and will also benefit the health and well-being of the person in other ways. There has been a study that has shown that high-intensity interval training (HIIT) not only improves strength but also increases free testosterone (a type of testosterone freely available to cells throughout the body) in male subjects. This may be one of the best natural ways to increase male sensitivity.
However, not all exercises will increase testosterone levels. Some may even decrease them. Endurance exercises, like marathon running, can actually lower testosterone levels. In any case, please discuss any new training regimen you are about to start with your doctor.
Obesity and Diabetes - improving diet and exercise are obvious and natural treatments to help with obesity and diabetes, and helps to control blood sugar levels. This, in turn, should also help increase male sensitivity. Just to ensure you’re on the right track, you may wish to consult with a doctor, or a dietician when you plan out an exercise program, as well as a new meal program. Also be sure to refrain as much as possible from consumption of alcohol and smoking, which increases your risk of developing Type 2 diabetes.
High Risk Masturbation Methods - When it comes to “high risk” masturbation, the obvious solution towards trying to get sensation back is to begin by refraining from such activity and trying to return to more conventional, or less “extreme stimulation” that is difficult to reproduce outside of the environment that you have created.
You can create a variety of playful scenarios and perhaps a feeling of new sensations by trying different positions and different methods of masturbation or partnered sex. And remember that vibrators are not just for the female anatomy. TENGA has several male sex toys made for penises that can provide a variety of strengths and patterns to make sexual activity new and exciting for anyone. Combine with our three types of TENGA Lotions, which can be mixed to create a near infinite number of different sensations!
Don’t Forget the Mental Aspects
Up to now, we have only discussed how we can help physically, but let’s not forget how amazing your imagination can be. It is also not only an important tool, but a powerful precursor to all the physical pleasures leading up to it. As Dr. Helen Singer Kaplan of Cornell University has reported, desire (which is mainly psychological) precedes sexual excitation, which is then followed by orgasm.
Finding new ways to stimulate your mind as well as your body can potentially bring you to new heights of climax.
However, if the urge to continue masturbation that is harmful to you is too great, you may also wish to seek the advice of counsel or a peer group that are suffering from the same issues.
Consulting A Health Professional
There is always the possibility that you may require the guidance and assistance of a healthcare professional. A healthcare professional may suggest a variety of options, ranging from wearing looser clothing and not sitting for prolonged periods of time, to offering medications and treatments for erectile dysfunction.
A doctor may even be able to determine whether certain medications you are currently taking could be affecting your penis sensitivity. Other than a healthcare professional, also seeking support from a professional counselor or peer group dealing with Traumatic Masturbatory Syndrome can make just as positive an impact.
So fear not, help is all around you!
