Penis sensitivity issue

[sammmy]

The majority of people with real sleep issues will never find the "root cause of their insomnia" - contemporary medicine is simply not that advanced.

Taking Ambien in the usual doses to sleep has nothing to do with the "dangerous side effects" that people who have never taken it talk about - read the reviews that I posted above of people like me using Ambien. Yes, few idiots may snort it or inject it (I absolutely have no idea why, the drug does not make one feel good) but did you know that Benadryl also has an "addictive potential", according to websites and "studies" and yet is sold over the counter? That shows you how reliable such "addictive potential" claims really are ...

That shows you how reliable such "addictive potential" claims really are ...

once again, sleep issues are rooted in neurotransmission. Various neurosteroids have huge implications in sleep. Hormones control the majority of these chemical pathways.

I would not advocate for Benadryl use as well. I spoke nothing to the fact of addiction. I would want to correct the underlying issue. Like any other thing, I do not view things like this in isolation. It’s tied to certain functioning of our metabolism like most other symptom people ail over.

which is why I would opt to not stop pursuing a metabolic state where I would have such a glaring symptom such as constant and prolonging insomnia. It’s not part of a normal healthy metabolism.

if you are beyond repair and will just settle on ambien possibly for the rest of your life, you possibly will suffer other issues down the road because the underlying issue with your health is not resolved.

so for the sake of hundreds or thousands of others that will read this, I’m encouraging them to do the same. To keep Looking for answers and don’t feel so assured and comfortable to commit to a drug long term that acts on these neurosteroids to do the work for them. But to seek a resolution of the underlying cause to their greater health benefit.

Pregnenolone, progesterone, dihydrotestosterone all act upon this gabanergic system for starters. GABA puts the breaks on your catecholamine release. It allows for suppression of your sympathetic nervous system functioning. There are many things to consider.

I’m not sure of your protocol or the extent of blood work you have received or who has interpreted your blood work. but if one needs ambien, I’m certain there are at least bread crumbs of evidence on your labwork to substantiate a possible underlying health issue that could be causing this.

Do you actually think these patients didn't "keep looking for answers", some of them for decades? The answers weren't found and then they got on Ambien, which allowed them to at least sleep. Some of the Ambien Reviews describe exactly that.

I encourage people to try Ambien while their doctor is "looking for answers". When Ambien works, it is with far less side effects than hijacking "solutions" like antidepressants, anti-psychotics, anti-histamines, and hormones. Ambien has nothing to do with the horror stories on ill informed sites and claims by some medics. The negative reviews of it are mostly that it didn't work for them.

Maybe some did, maybe some didn’t. I’d just worry that the Ambien would allow for people to think the situation is resolved. But the underlying issue wasn’t. And they forget, and just rely on the Ambien. Obviously this can happen. And that I’d say is less than desirable for most peoples long term health outcomes.

I’ve never said Ambien is bad. The situation that leads to the need to use Ambien is what I’m labeling as less than ideal. And that sucks. But if one does choose to use Ambien, forgetting the underlying issues would also have to be labeled as bad.

I guess for the average person you are right. I’ve never viewed my doctor as anything more than one particular source for drugs I want for my next health pursuit/experimentation. The forum here exists because doctors are in no way able to get to the bottom of everyone’s problems. That is why self education pertaining to the human metabolism has gotten many men further than they were getting with their doctor. For me and countless others here, this is true. it seams like a huge responsibility that I would want to be in charge of. Not someone else, when there are literally 27,000,000 medical articles on pubmed.

How did this thread go from penis sensitivity issues to an Ambien argument... lol

Since I have posted here, my good doc suggested I try Cialis... Oh well, to make a long story short... WTF! This is a poweful drug... Now I will be speculating here...

Penis sensitivity is enhanced with a full (I mean rock hard) erection... I don't know the exact mechanism but with Cialis, my erections are full and (I remember those when I was 20... )... and my penis much more sensitive and I can finally get to the end and orgasm much easier... So I think part of the key here in sensitivity, at least for me, is fullness of erection... I find it much easier to get aroused when I am not worried about loosing my erection in the middle of the act... so maybe it's the new found confidence...

In my case, I was functional in the sense I could get and maintain an erection (althoug the erection was intermittent... it came and went but came again with a little work)... So 2.5mg of cialis is just the boost I need ... darn, I take half a 5mg pill and I can get rock hard for 2 days... that drug is amazing... I also enjoy the Cialis warm glow when it kicks in... you can feel it throughout your body..

Try it, the experience is worth it...

My 2 cents...

I've experienced the same thing, sensitivity and all. It's remarkable… it makes me wonder if it's somehow restoring dormant pathways in my brain.

Back before Cialis went generic I only used it sparingly because it was so expensive, but it always worked great. I then started using Empower's compounded version of tadalafil, which was more affordable, but it never worked as well.

Just last week I finally thought to ask for a new script from my doc for the new generic version of the 5 mg daily tadalafil, which is like $13 for a month's supply from my local pharmacy. Amazing.

A week later and I mean WOW it's like night and day. Like, oh yeah I remember what this feels like! Sensations I'd forgotten I was missing. It's great stuff. I'm so thrilled that I can actually afford it now.

Tadalafil (Cialis) minimum effective dose...

Excuse my enthusiasm, I just had my first Cialis experience... I am like a kid this morning... darn... TLDR: I only took 2 to 2.5 mg of Cialis at 1pm, made love at 11pm and had a hell of a stiffie and great orgasm... Any one else get by with such a small dose... Now the full story: But...

My reply to Sergel:

Of course, you can!

Although most would look at sildenafil as the on-demand pde5i believe it or not when taking tadalafil blood levels will reach the Tmax 0.8-1.2 hrs after you take it.

Top it off that the effects can last for 36 hrs.

Daily is the way to go and you will notice stronger/firmer/longer-lasting erections when erect and the penis will be fuller/plumper when flaccid let alone sensitivity/orgasms will increase due to improved blood flow and top it off that you will notice an increase in the quality of erections achieved during sleep NPT (nocturnal penile tumescence).

When you wake up in the middle of the night during NPT you will know what I mean.

Ones underlying vascular health will play a strong role in how well you respond to a said dose.

2.5-5 mg is the dose used when taking daily.

Many are using 5 mg/day but others may experience the beneficial effects when using a dose on the lower end of 2.5 mg/day.

Actually, I am one of the lucky ones that 2.5mg works on demand... I take a single half of a 5mg tablet and I get full (almost painful) erections for 2 days... Naturally, I was able to get erect and maintain (on and off) before hand... so I guess I just need a little boost... and I am in pretty good shape... From the forums I am not the only one that gets hard with the minimal dose... I guess, like you say, it all depends where you start off cardio vasicular health wise...

It's like it just tops off the little bit I was missing... This is a very powerful molecule! ... I am in awe at what it does to me...

What negatives can daily cialis of 2.5-5mg potentially cause, a doctor I know mentioned me it can decrease seamen volume?

 

[Whereicomefrom]

When I smoke marijuana my penile sensitivity is extremely more sensitive. I don't know why, maybe it's effects on acetylcholine???

I'm not a big weed smoker but I do enjoy it before sex. For me it makes sensitivity and erections better which also helps with delayed ejaculation.

Maybe someone here knows the medical reasons behind it.

Clear and simple: Dopamine.

I've got another update. Although my situation improved when simplifying my protocol, I knew things weren't quite the same as they were pre-trt. I had a consult with Defy some weeks back and my estradiol being on the high side was a concern. So I started on .125mg Anastrozole twice a week and it's made a huge improvement in the quality of my erections. I've noticed my energy during the day isn't quite as good when I wasn't taking it but that could be diet related as well, not sure. My sensitivity has improved quite a bit as well. I'm concerned about the long term effects of an AI, as I have been to a doc that gave me a dexa scan years back when I was taking them before and it detected osteopenia. Plus AIs aren't generally popular here due to lack of studies and other side effects. I'm curious if estradiol is my problem, which I'm suspecting is the case, what alternatives do I have? I'm low SHBG and taking .2mL EOD test cyp (I was doing ED but seem to feel better on EOD) I've seen others manage estradiol using creams instead... curious what others think here

 

[VacationMan]

I seem to feel my best when my E2 is in close range of SHBG. It took me a long, long time to finally get my AI dose and frequency "right". Anastrazole is a powerful AI, so best to start very low and titrate up based on labs and how you feel.

As long as you do not drive your estradiol too low I would not be too concerned with long-term use.

More importantly, you need to look at where your trough FT level sits on your current protocol .2 mL (40 mgT) EOD.

Chances are seeing that you have low SHBG that your trough FT level is too high which would drive up your estradiol.

You may very well have room to bring down your FT which would bring down your e2 let alone possibly drop the AI.

Post labs?

Hope you had your FT tested using an accurate assay (Equilibrium Dialysis or Ultrafiltration).

What’s ur ai dose and frequency? Sorry if u already mentioned it

 

[M.J]

from what I have seen sensitivity issues is related to low libido I have the same thing but when libido goes high I can easily finish the job, so back again to how can we increase libido,, at least for me.

I think it’s the same deal with me. I’ve been at the same middle of the road libido for a while now, with also subpar sensitivity, but from what I remember about when my libido was higher in the past, my sensitivity usually followed suit
