Diminished penile sensitivity

Can you please guide me on how should I use iodine (Iosol) on penis foreskin? It's really a delicate area and don't want to make things worse (How much should I dilute it, how many applications, dosage, area...).

This is interesting.

Biffy, I have, and am currently, experiencing almost identical symptoms as you (although maybe not currently the same complete lack of hot/cold, water, etc. Mine is greatly greatly diminished though.) I can get erections but my sensitivity is like 60% less than what it was. Sex just doesnt feel like sex anymore, just friction basically. Rather nightmarish like you mentioned. And Im not taking beta-sis. I have been like this for 5 years now and have been DESPERATELY trying to find a solution.

My long history condensed: I went through a 4 year period of extreme depression. During this time I was drinking heavily, almost daily, and masturbating 3-4 times/day. Vigorous/dry masturbation. I remember pretty precisely when I lost my sensitivity, but I was so overwhelmed with depression, I couldont stop my bad habits. I gave it no time to heal, which I hope hasn't destroyed any chance of me healing. In late 2010 I convinced myself to cold turkey everything and take on a path of healing. I was sober for 1 1/2 years, and I have essentially 100% cut out masturbation. I have tried suplementing with high dose b12, was on lipoic for over a year, am now on benfotiamine (heard it helps with neuropathy), am taking lechitin (re-mylenation of nerves).

I have also done extensive Pelvic floor therapy, trigger point release work, and am seeing a PF therapist. Like Complexx mentioned, I was thinking it could be a symptom of a tight/dysfunctional pelvic floor (which I have not abandoned completely), but to this day I have Not had any significant improvement. One more thing I want to try to be consistent with is regular bikram yoga, to help reallign my body and pelvic floor. There is still a possibility it is from dysfunctional/inflammed muscles putting pressure on the pudendal/dorsal nerves of the penis @ some position in the pelvic floor.

But like you, I am seeking answers FROM ANYONE that has ANY idea how I can solve this problem. It's really quite quite disturbing to live with.

i'm wondering if this has a lasting effect, or this is more one of those thigns that will give you a boost for a little, then it will wean off. it does seem to effectively increase T by painting directly to the testicles, i'm thinking it may be good long term.. not sure though.

Will give iodine painting a try...Still I am puzzled why would such a low dosage of beta sitosterol (113mg ED) cause my penile sensation to vanish? I more and more think it's possible, cuz even with my terrible masturbation habits my sensations prior to taking beta sitosterol was better, now even without any masturbation for 2 months I still just feel numb. I then wonder what happens to all propecia/dutasteride users, how in the world can they enjoy sex?

Is there a chance the iodine painting could compromise the level of current sensation?
