From the time most males become sexually active, the biggest concern during sex is not being able to stay the course – to keep going until their partner is satisfied. But being able to keep going for hours at a time is not all it’s cracked up to be either, even though men who have the ability to keep hammering away may feel this gives them some degree of bragging rights. The truth is, no one wants to keep at it for that long before finally reaching a climax – it can cause serious irritation and soreness for both partners and serious boredom for the one who is on the receiving end of the non-stop jackrabbit action.

For men who find that this scenario sounds all too familiar, there is help. Treating reduced penis sensitivity through the use of penis-specific vitamins and minerals can help things to reach a natural conclusion within a more reasonable amount of time, resulting in greater enjoyment for both partners.

How the penis becomes desensitized

Some degree of penis sensitivity loss can be expected in all men; in fact, over 85% of all men report losing a substantial amount of penis sensation. The following issues can cause mild to significant loss of sensation, especially if the penis skin does not receive adequate nutrient support:

• Circumcision – Not all men who are circumcised lose penis sensitivity. However, a significant percentage of men of all ages do experience a lesser degree of sensation than their uncircumcised counterparts. This is believed to be caused by thickening of the skin of the glans due to the increased friction in this sensitive area.

• Overuse – Too much masturbation or sex can make it harder to experience that “special” feeling and achieve climax easily. Giving it a rest between rounds and supporting skin and nerve health with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants may help to bring back a pleasurable amount of sensation.

• Circulatory issues – Circulatory health is important to penis sensation; the cells of the penile skin and nerve tissue receive their oxygen from the blood that flows through the penis, and decreased circulation can interfere with cellular function. Maintaining healthy blood flow is important to both sensual pleasure and erectile function.

Restoring penis sensation

By following these tips, men who have trouble getting over the top due to sensitivity issues may find that they are able to orgasm more easily and enjoy sex more.

• Gentle stroking – Instead of going right at it, having a partner stimulate the skin of the penis and surrounding area through light touch – using the fingers, a feather, or another similar toy – can awaken a whole new range of sensations and make sexual encounters a more sensual experience.

• Holding off – The more often a man ejaculates, the more time it takes to achieve the next orgasm. Laying off masturbating or constant sex for a while can help to refill the tanks, so to speak, and increase the hormones that are related to ejaculation.

• Use a penis health crème to maintain skin and nerve health – Skin-nourishing crèmes containing vitamins, minerals, antioxidants and other vital nutrients needed for dermal and nerve health can help to restore erotic sensation and improve the ability to achieve an orgasm within a normal span of time.

Choosing a penis health crème

The most effective penis health formulas (such as Man 1 Man Oil) generally contain the vitamins A, B5, C, D and E, which work to keep the skin healthy, boost its natural healing properties, and protect it from environmental contaminants. Amino acids such as acetyl L carnitine and L arginine help to support cell metabolism and nerve health, while natural moisturizers keep the skin supple and responsive to touch.
