Red, Irritated Penis Skin After Sex Can Result in Loss of Penis Feeling

Posted On : Jul-07-2011 | seen (214) times | Article Word Count : 1002 |

Masturbation or prolonged sex can result in irritated penis skin and, ultimately, diminished penis sensitivity.
The skin of the penis is delicate and sensitive as it is classified as erogenous skin, which contains many more nerve endings and capillaries than skin located in other areas on the human body. Therefore, erogenous skin is receptive to touch and other stimulus, increasing sexual excitement and pleasure. However, when not cared for and poorly treated the nerve endings and capillaries can become damaged and this can reduce sensitivity, which, in turn, reduces sexual excitement. Aggressive masturbation or prolonged sex can, therefore, result in irritated penis skin and, ultimately, diminished penis sensitivity.

Damage to Penis Skin Resulting from Sex

Cuts, abrasions, inflamed and irritated penis skin, dry patches, and diminished penis sensitivity are some of the most common complaints discussed in male sexual health forums. Almost all men, in these forums, confessed to having very active sex lives, and, at times, not using enough lubricant while having sex, and all said that the damage to their penis has been long-lasting. Some have even complained of cuts, abrasions and inflammation taking several months to heal, and when they thought that it was safe to recommence having sex the same problem reoccurred.

Diminished Penis Sensation Due to Irritated Penis Skin

Irritated penis skin and diminished penis sensitivity go hand-in-hand, especially after aggressive masturbation or prolonged sex. This is attributed to the fact that the sensitive erogenous skin cells, nerve endings, and capillaries have been damaged, and are no longer as receptive.

It also takes a great deal of time for erogenous skin to heal. This is because this type of skin has fewer layers and, is therefore, thinner and more fragile than other skin found on the body. Due to its delicate nature, it is also prone to developing scar tissue, which when put under stress and pressure will tear and become inflamed.

Therefore, a great deal of patience is required to allow irritated penis skin to heal and diminished penis sensitivity to disappear. Abstaining from all sexual activity and using a moisturizer on a daily basis should allow penis skin to rejuvenate and repair itself. However, if no change is noted in the condition of the penis skin after several weeks, then it is advised that medical attention be sought.

Moisturize Penis to Prevent Sensation Loss

Moisturizing the penis, regularly, reduces the likelihood of irritated penis skin, especially after masturbation or prolonged sex. In addition, the moisturizer will aid in skin cell rejuvenation and prevent the erogenous skin of penis from becoming desensitized. This enables the skin to retain its elasticity and reduces the chances of diminished penis sensitivity becoming a problem in the future.

A penis moisturizer should contain three or more of the following ingredients:

Vitamin A – an antioxidant that maintains skin and cellular health, and contributes to the function of the immune systems. This protects the penis from harmful bacteria that could cause infection and helps repair any damage to the skin of the penis.

Vitamin B5 – also known as Panothenic Acid, reduces the chances of testicular torsion, or twisting of the spermatic cord, and also increases cell activity, which heals penis wounds faster.

Vitamin C – also known as L-Ascorbic Acid or L-Ascorbate is a nutrient that prevents the body from feeling the effects of oxidative stress and stimulates the metabolic process. This, in turn, stimulates collagen production, which aids in wound healing and prevents capillary damage.

Vitamin D – a secosteriod that boosts the immune system, reduces inflammation, and aids in cell function. All, of which, create a healthy environment for the skin of the penis.

Vitamin E – a group of fat-soluble antioxidant compounds that aid in immune response and protects cell membranes from oxidization. This, in turn, reduces moisture loss and aids in cell rejuvenation, which prevents penis skin cells from being damaged.

Acetyl L Carnitine – is a powerful antioxidant that is known to reduce nerve damage and increase sperm mobility. In addition, this ingredient is also used to treat curvature of the penis, as it increases cell activity, stimulates fiber growth, and aids in cell rejuvenation.

Alpha Lipoic Acid – is an orthomolecular nutrient that accelerates chronic wound healing, reduces premature aging of skin cells and inflammation, and prevents erectile dysfunction.

L-Arginine – also known as Arginine is a natural amino acid that decreases blood pressure, aids in the repair of damaged tissue, and speeds up the healing process of injuries. In addition, Arginine plays an important function in cell division and the function of the immune system and reduces capillary damage in the penis.

Shea Butter – a natural form of vitamin A, this product aids in cell recovery and rejuvenation, and protects the penis from harmful bacteria.

Some suggested penis moisturizers to use after masturbation or prolonged sex are as follows:

1. Cocoa Butter – Deriving from the fat of the cocoa bean, this product is natural and has healing properties, which treat dry, itchy skin and reduce inflammation.

2. Olive Oil – Produced by the olive, this natural substance soothes irritated skin and aids in the regeneration of skin cells. It also has unique softening properties. Extra virgin olive oil is believed to be the best grade of olive oil to use as a moisturizer as it is the purest.

3. Shea Butter – A natural fat extract from the nut of the African Shea Tree. This product is edible in its purest form and has anti-inflammatory, moisturizing and healing properties. It is also suitable to use on the delicate skin of the penis as it is a form of vitamin A.

4. Man1 Man Oil - A penis health creme moisturizer (recommended by health professionals), as this moisturizer contains all of the essential vitamins, minerals, and amino acids mentioned, and is formulated for the delicate erogenous skin of the penis.
