A member asked:

Can prostatitis or seminal vesiculitis cause penile numbness?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not likely: Numbness of the penis can occur with low testosterone levels, nerve injury, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis or scar tissue within the penis. If you have this symptom, I think you should start with an exam by a urologist. Depending upon findings you may then be referred to a neurologist.
