This hypersensitivity is a very common response after ejaculation whether via masturbation or sexual activity and, though quite variable in occurrence and severity both between individuals and within a given individual, is more the norm than the exception. The cause is the increased stimulation of the many nerve endings in the head of the penis brought on by the intensity of foreplay and orgasm.

Psychiatry: This sounds like you probably need to see a psychiatrist to be treated for a possible addiction to masturbation to help you stop harming yourself.
