annon,
you are right. I am suffering from penile insensitivity for 8 years. If I will ever recover it would be a miracle.
When i smoke pot my penile sensitivity is normal, its great. Its out to lunch when not high though. 
Cannabis makes sex/ masturbation extremely pleasurable for me also.
This doesn’t make any sense. Maybe you think its pleasurable because you’re high.
Cannabis affects the neural and cannaboid system in the body, so it’s probable that it’s helping the nerves function. Heightened sensitivity with low doses of cannabis is common and logical if it’s promoting blood flow to the genitalia.
Cannabis is used by Parkinson’s, MS, and other neurodegenerative disorders to abate the effects of these diseases.
for those of you who use marijuana, do you know what strain specifically caused to help you get better? states where it’s legal you can choose specific strains, so i know not many places are, but it was worth a try.
can you guys who smoked marijuana take a look at this?
it has many different strains and many different reported effects, if you could look at the different words to describe the effects that you felt, that may be able for us to possibly narrow down a specific group of strains that may be more able to help in our situation.
My penus felt disconnected when on fin and for a while afterwords. Now it feels connected by there is no zing in it because I have low libido. When my libido recovered I had full sensitivity in my penis perhaps more than ever. I remember there was an intense zing feeling in my penis when I was really horny at one stage. I only took fin for 8. In my case I doubt there is any damage down there.
So I assume you mean you felt back 100%? How long did this last? Did you do blood tests to see what hormones changed? Did you take something that caused this short-term recovery?
Arimidex, in total about 4 - 5 days. The horniness was not constant but when it came it was very strong and I felt that old buzzing in my penis i used to get. At one point I remember beeing really horney. I was drooling at the girl next to me at the traffic lights and was thinking about going to a gentlemans club which I have never been.
The recovery did not last. But it showed me that things do work fine.
Its a shame people haven’t gotten blood tests during these short recoveries. That may shed a lot of light on hormones and ratios etc.
I am not sure if it was just a hormone ratio thing as I have never been able to reproduce it even after taking a break. Also I live in Thailand so detailed blood tests are not possible.
What if pornography caused insensibility ?
Take a look at this website :
Stanley, you are so far off base and clearly have not done enough research or have no concept of the importance of androgens to healthy penile tissue structure and function.
Possible reasons for this issue have already been postulated:
This problem has NOTHING to do with “porn”.
Whay would so many YOUNG and HEALTHY men developped ED after a regular use of porn ? This website is full of member stories. Men as young as 19 or 21 ; totally fucked up by porn.
Do you have statistics about porn consumption of the users of this forum ? I dont think so. I would say it’s high.
I’m not saying it’s all the CAUSES ; and I’m sorry if this is cleary not what caused your symptoms, but it may be what caused ED in some men in this forum. Men that continue to be hooked on some nasty drug.
Go to the webside. Penile insensibility is among symptoms described by people suffering from porn-induced-ED.
And why haven’t you let me post my thread in the general section ? It is absolutely relevant. Some people would win to drop their porn addiction.
ummm, I stopped looking at porn when my libido disappeared after 2 weeks on finasteride. Your idea does not apply to us. We lost our libido as a result of taking a drug… Not looking at porn… You are on the wrong tack. Kind of like if I chopped your balls off and told you that you are no longer horny because you watched too much porn.
You mean guys who never took a 5AR2 inhibitor like Fin? Who knows.
On the other hand, this forum is full of guys who took Fin and developed ED within days, weeks or months of using the drug. ED and loss of libido are listed side effects of the medication due to drug’s inhibition of DHT. It was also a statistically significant adverse event as identified in the FDA Clinical Trials. That means our cause of the ED is due to Fin, NOT porn. Blaming your issues on “porn” is to eliminate Finasteride as the cause or contributor, and I’m not sure why you are questioning this despite all medical/scientific studies published about the drug causing ED.
Nobody here is still “hooked” on some nasty drug (Finasteride), if that is what you are implying.
Just because it’s described doesn’t mean it’s due to same mechanism of action. Overwatching porn is a lot different than chemically castrating yourself via androgen deprivation therapy (Finasteride) and structurally altering penile tissue function as a result
.
Your other post on this topic was merged to a respective thread on porn-induced sexual dysfunction, since it already correlates with the exact topic of that thread. Multiple threads across the forum makes it difficult to find information in one spot.
You are comparing apples to oranges again. Guys with “porn addiction” probably have extremely high libidos and thus cannot give up their addiction. Guys on this forum that have been decimated by Finasteride have lost all libido. Looking at porn doesn’t even interest or turn us on anymore, for the most part. Complete loss of sex drive is a MAJOR problem for many guys who have taken/quit Finasteride.
Reviewing your post history, I’m not sure why this concept is lost on you.
The previous time this was posted about I searched the reference and found that this affliction is 100% curable through abstention. PFS is not.
i’ve seen people say abstinence from masturbation helps with PFS.
