Due to the effects ehlers-danlos syndrome can have on someone's skin, can that affect the sensitivity of penile skin as well? i have been dealing with an unusual and distracting amount of sexual thoughts and thought this might be a cause?

: I wouldn't attribute your thought obsessions' to EDS. This is a connective tissue disorder where some of the underlying tissues are not bound as strongly to other layers. There is a tendency toward looser skin, but the syndrome does not affect how your brain works.
