As an answer to: Ultra-sensitive glans questions, pre/post operation written by Nathan at 07 Apr 2004 03:57:14:

>Hi, I've had an extremely sensitive head ever since I was a child, when I touch it even slightly it hurts very very badly. I'm 23 and decided to have a circumcision done, but before the op I need to apply some cream to the head since it hadn't been cleaned properly. The problem is my foreskin is very tight, and paired up with the ultra sensitiviness, it is extremely hard to apply the cream at all. The cream in itself is not very "soft", so to apply it correctly I have to press on the head and rub it, which is agony for me. :( I tried using a q-tip gently but it hurts just as much. Is there a better way to do this? The doctor wouldn't listen when I said I'd have one hell of a time applying it.
>Post operation: Sine my head is so damn sensitive, what kind of time am I looking at AFTER the op for it to stop hurting so bad? I've heard one week, or 2 weeks. I am really worried about this, because it really really hurts to touch it. I'm a grown man and it's the worst pain I've ever experienced. Also how long after can I expect to be able to have sex again?

Well, first thing first. You have a tight foreskin, which most usually does NOT require a circumcision. You have a sensitive glans with can be trained without a circumcision. Getting your foreskin chopped off WILL solve both problems, but until your glans becomes accustomed to rubbing (a couple weeks, from there it’ll continue losing response to rubbing gradually) it WILL be painful, because you can’t go and hide it back inside the protective skin.

My question, why expose yourself (pun not intended) to such agony?

Unrelated to my shock that you would do such a thing seemingly uninformed, to yourself, I would like to ask what cream it is.

As for post op, AJ would be most likely to be able to tell you what to expect, but as far as I know, it takes a couple weeks for the stitches to dissolve, and then you have to spend another good couple weeks with accustoming to your new penis and all. People differ, I don’t and can’t know how long it takes for your sensitivity to go down enough that it’s handleable, let alone pleasureable.

Again, both problems can be solved without cutting, the sensitivity one definitely can. — Plus you’d have the ability to hide it once you get stressed out by the rubbing, something which you can’t with a circumcised penis.
