Does masturbation causes hypersensitivity in penis? If not than what causes it? No I don't have phimosis but still it's very sensitive.

Question

Masturbation does not cause hypersensitivity in penis, but it may cause decreased sensitivity if done too frequently or with a very tight grip. This is because of the friction and hyperstimulation that can desensitize the nerve endings in the penis. Some possible causes of hypersensitivity in penis are phimosis, urinary tract infection, or trauma to the penis. If you have any of these conditions, you should see a doctor for diagnosis and treatment. The current web page context does not provide any relevant information for your question.

As the foreskin is too restricted to move, it definitely causes trouble in masturbating. Sometimes, when the case of phimosis is mild, lubricants make it easier to masturbate. There are ointments or creams that help in dealing with phimosis so that a male can retract his foreskin easily. The level of discomfort and pain while masturbating depends on the seriousness of phimosis. Some males are unable to retract their foreskin at all, while others face problems in pulling it back from the glans only. Not just masturbation, phimosis also causes pain during sexual intercourse also.
