A member asked:
The head of my uncut penis is very sensitive to touch, is there anything i can do to desensitize it?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gradual Exposure: The glans or head is designed to be sensitive. Foreskins help protect this sensitivity. After circumcision, the glans becomes desensitized. In some cases, uncircumcised men have extreme pain with exposure of the glans (usually during sex). In these cases, on a regular/daily basis, they are shown how to retract their foreskin and slowly desensitize their glans thru increased stimulation.
