The penis is very sensitive because it has a lot of nerve endings. But for example, you sit in the same position for a long time, you could not feel anything in your penis anymore, it means your penis has become numb.

The numbness is caused by many reasons such as health issues, an injury or even the low testosterone levels.

So what types of injury making your penis become numb?

Cycling

Riding a bike could put a lot of pressure on the penis, especially on the nerve endings and blood vessels inside. If this happens for a long time, it might cause the numbness of the penis.

Sitting in a certain position for a long time

When sitting, if you do not change your position regularly, the pressure on the penis and perineum would increases leading to the injury of this area.

Sexual activity

When having sex, the erect penis does not have the flexibility at all. So your penis might be fractured making you feel pain and leading to the numbness of the penis.

Low testosterone level

Testosterone is known as one of the most important hormones for men. It plays a role in regulating muscle mass and sex drive.

Testosterone would become lower with age, the older you are, the lower this hormone becomes.

But this could also happen to younger people. When testosterones becomes lower, it could lead to many sexual problems, and the man would feel it clearly, especially when doing sexual activity. But do not misunderstand that the penis is numb.

In fact, the low level of testosterone would result in the numbness of the penis but sometimes, it would not.

When the testosterone level drops, the man’s mood would always change, he might not feel comfortable doing that thing and might feel exhausted all the time, as well.
