Penis health > Penis enlargement, how to 'resensitise' penis after years of chronic porn addiction?
Hi guys, so I'm currently in the process of quitting porn and it's actually going decently. I've worked myself down from hardcore -> softcore -> solo -> pics -> clothed pics -> imagination. I occasionally relapse, but it's nowhere near as frequent as it used to be (2 weeks no porn). So that's the mental aspect.
However, I've noticed that my penis is often in a shriveled up and rubbery state when flaccid + erections and masturbation isn't as pleasurable due to reduced sensitivity.
This does have an affect on size, I'm 7.2 x 5.7 at max EQ with no prior PE, but I know for a fact I'm smaller than before and that's due to reduced erection quality.
Some factors that I suspect:
- chronic stress from mental illness (I have a generalized anxiety disorder and depression) + major exams coming up (I'm a med student) -> negative affect on hormones and erectile quality
- I'm constantly studying and I admit I've neglected nutrition and I'm taking a lot of caffeine
- overmasturbation
- suboptimal masturbation technique/position?
I've noticed that when I masturbate, my penis takes like 7 days to recover from it. I feel like I've been a chronic gooner for so long that I haven't actually given my dick the chance to heal. According to google, death-grip syndrome might require 2-4+ weeks to fully heal.
A full soft flaccid and my max erections (hard, sensitive and firm) is all I want in regards to my penis, as when my eq is actually good I'm satisfied with my size, which is well above average. The insecurity is slowly fading away and I won't let it define my life and neither should you :)
