>>i am in late teen age, w/o my glans exposed, the penis just didn't feel
right inside, but everytime i exposed the glans outside, it became very sensitive
inside my underwear, and it's too sensitive that i can't even sit or sleep
cos it really hurts when i moved my legs, what r good ways to make it less
sensitive when i am trying to sleep? is the baby powder method efficient??
R there any more ways to decrease sensitivity faster? PLZ HELP

>You might try keeping it exposed ("skinned back") at all times and, before
you go to bed, soaking it for 10 or 15 minutes in very cold water (to help
de-sensitize it--you could even use cold tea!), then gently drying it and
heavily covering it with baby powder or something similar. Baby powder is
fairly efficient in insulating the bare penis head from surrounding clothing,
etc.,and helping to dry it out. Just put it on thick, and often (after it
wears thin). It seems to be a matter of letting air get to the naked glans
long enough to dry it and slightly thicken the mucous membrane that covers
the glans and so make it less sensitive to the touch. This may happen slowly,
but if you can keep at it, forcing yourself to ignore the pain that contact
with the glans gives you, the pain should become less until it's just a "funny
feeling" and then gradually turns into a natural, normal feeling. The secret
of solving this problem probably involves a certain conscious effort on your
part to ignore the distress signals your naked glans is sending to your brain
until these signals slacken off. It's fairly normal for a newly circumcised
guy to feel naked and distressed for a few days after the operation heals,
but in a short time it begins to feel perfectly normal, so that he forgets
any discomfort which he had felt. (I know this from personal experience.)
The first step for you would be to make up your mind that you will master
the problem, not vice-versa, and before long you should be able to leave it
bare at all times and have it feel perfectly ok. (At least if my experience
is typical, that should do it.) How about keeping us informed of any progress,
since there may be others in your situation. Good luck! RJK.

Excellent advice. This "skinned back" alternative has served me well for
over 60yrs. It is cleaner, resists disease and provides, if you will an added
sturdiness to the penis. it is a worthy objective.
