Dr. Robert Killian answered

Specializes in General Practice

Penis Sensitivity: I believe you may need to see a good urologist. This does not sound like the normal experience for a man. Frequent or past sexual activity should not lead to a loss of penile sensitivity. I'd be curious to hear what the urologist who evaluates you has to say.

Dr Fowler and another doctor agreed
