When problems occur "there", you may not hear many people complaining.

The issue of penis problems is a rather sensitive topic. Many men prefer to deal with it by themselves rather than bring it up to their partners or even doctors.

However, in order to solve these problems and find solutions, men need to overcome their sense of shame and embarrassment and talk more freely about their penises.

In fact, problems related to the penis are quite common. Most men will experience at least one such problem during their lifetime. Fortunately, most of these problems have solutions.

The most common male sexual dysfunction includes premature ejaculation (PE), erectile dysfunction (ED), and low libido. Retrograde ejaculation, inhibition or delayed ejaculation, etc. are types of ejaculation disorders that are less common but still affect thousands of men.

As can be seen from the above figure, the most common complaint about sexual health among men is premature ejaculation. The root cause lies in the high sensitivity of the penis, which leads to an excessive speed of ejaculation.

Studies show that among men aged 18 to 59, approximately one-third experience or have experienced premature ejaculation symptoms.

Of course, for some men, the problem is the opposite: a lack of sensitivity in the penis, which can lead to difficulty in maintaining sexual arousal or achieving orgasm. Anyway, the issue of sensitivity troubles men and affects their ability to maintain a satisfying sex life. Therefore, solving this problem is of utmost importance.

What causes sensitivity of the penis?

Whether your penis is highly sensitive or not, you may still be quite normal and healthy - this is just a natural variation. Most men can find ways to adapt. But what should we do when sensitivity issues start to cause sexual problems? How should we deal with it?

To answer these questions, we need to understand the reasons why the sensitivity of some men increases while that of others decreases.

The following are some of the main factors that contribute to the sensitivity of the penis.

Genetics and the Brain. Some studies suggest that genes may play a role in erectile sensitivity. For instance, if your sensitivity is above average, it is likely that your family has inherited this gene. For example, some research has found that the way the brain reacts to the neurotransmitter dopamine (determined by genes) is related to premature ejaculation.

Your body structure. The sensitivity of specific areas in each person's body varies slightly. For instance, some men have very sensitive nipples and enjoy stimulating them during sexual activities, while others have no such pleasure. The same is true for the penis - there are natural differences in the distribution of our brain and nerves within the body, which can cause some penises to be more sensitive than others.

Phimosis. This condition only occurs in men who have not undergone circumcision. Phimosis refers to the situation where the foreskin is too tight and cannot freely slide along the shaft of the penis. As a result, the glans or the head may be covered for most of the time or even all the time, which may increase its sensitivity because it is not accustomed to receiving external touch or stimulation.

Why is my penis so sensitive during sexual intercourse?

The penis is covered with nerve endings, whose function is to provide pleasure. From an evolutionary perspective, this makes sense - the pleasure and satisfaction brought by sexual activity are crucial for the reproduction and survival of humans.

However, the abundant nerve endings in the penis are not always a good thing. Some men are prone to excessive stimulation before or shortly after sexual intercourse. This is what we call "penile hypersensitivity".

Is there a connection between high sensitivity of the penis and premature ejaculation?

Premature ejaculation (PE) refers to a situation where a man reaches orgasm earlier than expected. Some studies have found a connection between excessive sensitivity of the penis and the inability to delay orgasm.

However, before delving into the connection between increased penis sensitivity and premature ejaculation, let's first clarify a common misconception about how long an average man typically persists during sex.

You might have heard some men claim that they can engage in intense sexual activity for 30 minutes or longer before reaching orgasm, or you might have seen similar content in pornographic films. This might set an unrealistic standard for determining whether you have premature ejaculation.

But the truth is completely different.

On average, most men take 4 to 7 minutes to ejaculate during sexual intercourse. Therefore, if you fall within this time frame, you are actually completely normal.

Methods to reduce penile sensitivity

If you have a condition of penile allergy and want to take measures, what options do you have?

First, have a conversation with your doctor to ensure that there are no potential medical issues that require immediate treatment, and to obtain advice that is suitable for your unique situation.

Then, consider the following options; however, please note that you may need to try multiple options before finding the one that suits you.

Changing condoms

Replacing regular condoms with thicker ones might be the quickest and easiest way to immediately reduce penile sensitivity.

Thicker condoms are usually labeled with "super strong" or "super safe". You might also consider the condoms specially designed for men with premature ejaculation. These condoms usually come with anesthetic gel.

Some men have achieved the results they desired by using these types of condoms and are very satisfied.

However, others may find that these integrated condoms cause excessive numbness in that area, thereby creating the opposite problem: making it extremely difficult to reach orgasm.
