Loss of sensation

[Simbarn]

I must admit I didn't look at the dates of those posts! Link still worked however.
I have had improvement with sexual sensation since being on the daily Tadalafil at 5mg, which I have been taking for about 14 months. I believe this may be due to improved blood flow on a consistent basis for a reasonable amount of time. It also could be due to what some of the research has been discussing: chronic low dose use of PDE5 inhibitors may reverse some of the deterioration in the erectile tissues and nerves.

There is a plethora of discussion on this topic in the DE (Delayed Orgasm)/Anorgasmia folder. viewforum.php?f=22 There are a number of suspected causes and few reliable treatments. One is just aging nerves and peripheral neuropathy.

My first vaginal DE (non-ejaculation) was 4/2018, after nearly 1 1/2 years of injections, and within a year it worsened and I could not achieve a vaginal ejaculation/orgasm, nor have I since (2 1/2 years). The compensating news is that now the wife gets as much for as long as she likes and can tolerate without melting down.

I suspect but cannot prove that higher level injections have contributed and am working on penile PT rehab to restore as much natural function as possible to reduce the amount of injected drug. See this: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=15485 Using more of a drug that causes a burn and ache just can't be good. I now use a smaller dose just as a "chaser" for a strong hard finish (lasting 30-40 min).

Notably after a 5 year lay-off of oral ED drugs, I now have a pleasant reaction to low doses of them again. Even at 5 mg/dy Cialis (a PT dose) I am getting raging and distracting nocturnal tumescence and enough morning wood to ride.

PS adder: Alpha Lipoic Acid is supposed to be good for treating PN and nerve damage. Since I have it setting in in my feet (saw a neurologist) for several years now, that will be my next line of inquiry.

PSS: I am also using a "neuro methylaton" cream recommended by my PCP for my foot PN on the penis.

+1. Doing this for 2 months now and have had a very positive effect. Also dong many other things to improve base penile function. Morning wood has returned with a distracting vengence at just 5 mg a day.

@Admin - might consider moving this to the DE/Anorgasmia folder.

I used Paxil, SSRI, for a couple of months long ago and my Uro said that could have contributed to my anorgasmia now. I know it did delay orgasm at the time, I damn near couldn't buy an orgasm and effed the wife to death trying. But it has not 30 years since until recently. It escapes me medically how taking Paxil for 2 months 30 years ago could contribute to anorgasmia now, but that's what the Uro suggested. I've ruled out a bunch of other potential causes and think it comes down - for me - to advancing age and advancing peripheral neuropathy. But as pointed out by many, the benefit is a much prolonged session that the wife is more than good with. She actually said, "Where was this the past 50 years." and has gotten comfortable with me working things out later (with increasing difficulty (even with Wellbutrin) later every 2 weeks or so. We do what we can.

As described in a previous post at the bottom of this stream (made in 2017), I, too, had sky-high Prolactine levels for a number of years. So high, in fact that my ED urologist twice ordered MRIs, over a 2-3 year period; to see what was happening with my pituitary gland. Since the MRI didn't show any issues with my pituitary gland (e.g., a tumor, which was the doctor's primary concern) nothing was done to reduce my prolatin level. However, after reading that 2017 posting ... which I previously cited ... I asked my ED urologist to prescribe cabergoline. The doctor was hesitant; but I conveyed the info contained in that 2017 posting. So, on a "let's see what happens" agreement, I began taking cabergoline; a little over a month, ago. The sensitivity of my penis has increased more and more ... to the point where I can ejaculate while using a vibrator under the head of my flaccid penis ... while watch porn. I'm anxious to see how thing go; when I'm able to play with my regular partner, who, unfortunately, lives out-of-state and has yet to travel (Covid-19 concerns). I'm 73 years old, diabetic (generally, under control) and have numerous lower back surgeries.

I don't know if this will make any of you guys feel better or worse but just the facts...
I've had extreme difficulty with sensitivity leading to orgasm/ejaculation since getting my penile implant almost 11 months ago. My prolactin level was checked recently and was undetectable while my testosterone level was off the charts high at 885! I don't smoke or drink alcohol and I'm in good physical condition. My wife is still sexy to me and very talented. I've tried every remedy suggested by doctors and members of FT, including cabergoline and currently apomorphine sublingual troches. Nothing has worked. Go figure!

I had my implant in May and Aug 10 will be 3 months. Your post DID make me feel better as I have the same issue as you described. I had ED and Peyronie. In the period of 12 months my length diminished to the point of having difficulty grasping my penis to urinate. I had no clue what was happening until I finally saw a urologist. In doing some research on the internet it's as if there is no possible way that reduced sensation can occur. To the extent that the implant has made urination almost normal, I am happy. The problem with sensation makes me apprehensive. I guess time will tell. To date I feel some sensation but just can't get there. Thanks again for your post. I thought I was the proverbial one in a million.

I got some clit sensitizer for me and wife from Adam and Eve
and later MOJO penis sensitizer which also works for us. It
can be ordered for several places, often less expensive than
Adam and Eve. Just a little helps.

Ok Growinjim - I have ordered what I believe is the same cream you mentioned from Adam and Eve, unfortunately delivery is in 30 days!! wtf I'm waiting as long for this delivery as I do for my orgasm
