Is it true and is it normal enough that the sensitivity of the glans decreases (slightly) with age, especially when the glans becomes accustomed to external stimuli (water, hands, underwear, vagina during sex etc.) ? I refer above all to the difference between the average sensitivity during puberty/adolescence and later, when one becomes an adult. I do not know if it is natural or even necessary that this happens, but I ask because I noticed this and in fact I feel little/less discomfort in rubbing the glans on some "surfaces" or objects, such as sheet or pillow (for example see the following photo: "https://ibb.co/bENauH" )...

This is true for me. In my teens, my cock head was super sensitive so JO was soft touch and even water hitting my uncovered head (I'm uncut) could almost feel "too much". I also had leg shaking/weakening orgasms almost all the time and was also super sensitive after cumming.
This has gradually changed. Today I can touch my head without it getting too much stimulation and I can treat it a little "ruffer". :)

Enjoyed it the and enjoy it now. Just different.

am 72 years old and masturbate since my 9th year regularly d. H. Every day. That's 63 years. During this time I masturbated for about 27 532 times. Even now I masturbate on average 1.4 times a week. I can not say that it's still a lot of fun. It's still fun.
Since I am 55 years old, I notice that the sensitivity of the glans (glans) decreases.
Each organ responds to stress.
Examples:
Hands are chafing through heavy work.
The soles of the feet become thicker and less sensitive due to Bahrfußlaufen.
The glans (glans) becomes less sensitive by pruning because the skin gets thicker.
Etc.
When masturbating at a mean masturbation frequency of about 12 Hz and a medium masturbation time of 2 min, 27 532 times, the foreskin has been opened about 39646080 times. I think the Glans reacts too.
I still remember how sensitive the glans was at the beginning of masturbation at around 9 years old. The thrill was almost unbearable so that I had to interrupt the masturbation.
This has normalized over time so that I could always masturbate with pleasure.
It was not until the age of 50 that sensibility declined noticeably.
But even now, at 72, I still manage to masturbate with pleasure.
I start with the 3 finger method, i. Middle and index finger on the bottom of the penis and thumb up. If then the excitement potential increases I take as before the whole hand.
As a lubricant, butter has been found to be best over time.

From about 45 years, the masturbation frequency begins to decline. Therefore, I have the exact numbers because I have out of interest a sex diary. So I'm already of the opinion that masturbation is an important and beautiful sexual activity.
However, I now have exactly the same problem, the GM of the Reitz is apparently not sufficient and the penis occurs to me often together. Also, I can get an ejaculation only by subsequent masturbation. Does anyone have similar problems?
The electric masturbation I run about 1-2 times through the month.
To optimally to masturbate could I recommend to remove the frenulum prepuce.
The advantages are:
1 The foreskin can move backwards, thus has a larger stroke during masturbation possible and the foreskin is moving.
2 The penis looks better, because the foreskin folds almost pull back.
3 The penis is easy to keep clean much better.

I'll say I agree with that. My interpretation was 'it takes more to get me off as I get older'. I'm sure some is sensitivity & some is mental.
Agree, need more than just rubbing to get off now that i am over 60

I am 67, masturbate more than have sex with wife. As I’ve gotten older, lost sensitivity in penis. During ejaculation, feel prostate tighten and start orgasm but no sensation in glans. Just the deep pelvis part, not the feeling as cum blasts through urethra as i cum. I miss being 20. Ejaculate is noticeably smaller. Used to hit the ceiling of my car if i got a blow job. Now, just dribbles out. Feels best when i tell my wife during a blow job that I’m getting ready and she sucks hard as i cum in her mouth. My advice, don’t get older Cialis and viagra, meh.....

A couple years ago was at the local nudist beach. Started to talk to a guy whom I wasn't sure f cut or uncut with foreskin retracted. (eventually saw a circ line but wasn't 100% sure). Eventually got to ask him and he was flattered that I thought he could be uncut with skin retracted. Turns out he was cut after all and restored. A biut later, when he got dressed, he pushed his foreskin over and it covered about 3/4 or 2"3 of glans and looked very natural. (and I complimented him on that)

Many "restored" images on the net have unnatural looking foreskin, often because it is all puffy from the stretching. But this guty had a foreskin that looked healthy, thin and natural. (and since it didn't cover all, no artificial overhang where it starts to oook unnatural).

This is the very reason I started wearing the senslip that covers your penis. I can tell you from experience that is does make a difference. I have been wearing this everyday for about a year now and I can tell a difference in the sensitivity and well as the color of my glans has slowly changed. Highly recommend it!
Noticed through restoration. I purposely moisturize and keep sensitive. When I get a hand job and it’s done correctly, my whole body arch’s and shakes. It’s intense.

Not everyone needs to have frenulum removed. Some/many have a frenulum which allows full retraction, and many allow it to go back enough for skin to be smooth on shaft.

With regards to losing sensitivity, you feet get used to being in socks and you walking on shoes and once they are used to it, they don't grow thicker skin. And if you remove shoes and try to walk barefot on rocks, you see how sensitive they still are. Yet, someone who is used to walking barefoot will be able to walk on same rocks without problem.

Translating this to the penis: if you wear underwear that causes a lot of rubbing, your penis will have thicker skin than if you wear tighter underwear with smoother fabric. And once your pneis is used to your normal underwear, it doesn't thicknen any more. (and your brain learns to ignore sensations while wearing your normal underwear as they are deemed normal, but wear different underwear and you are much more awar eof your naked glans. (thati is my experience anyways)

What does change over the years is libido and sex drive. This also dictates how much you feel your penis.

One thing to keep in mind: when you reach orgasm, your glans doesn't develop a gazillion new ner endings that disapear 5 minutes later. It is your brain which takes the normal signals and amplifies them. Simularly, when you are at work and walk up stairs, it is your brain which tones down the sensatiosn of your glans moving in underwear.


So what one perceives as a decrease in sensitivity may come from the brain instead of the actual nerves on glans. (or a combination).

I've been jerking-off daily for over 55 years, and never objectively noticed any glans sensitivity loss. My glans automatically expands as my foreskin is retracted, and it becomes exposed to the air. It takes much more time to achieve a firm erection, but I'm not sure that is due to any sensitivity issues:confused: ...
First stop is the prostate bud. The damn thing tends to get bigger with age. And even a little swelling is a lot of change in the hard cock we all know and love. I been there and will forget to take supplements and try keeping cranberry tabs and those ageless males work ok. Remember that your not looking to do anything but keep it healthy not take a horny goat and or viagra if you don't have to. Otherwise, there is a thing called dependence.

Seeing I'm here I'll tell you how I find the sensitivity of my glans. When I first started wanking around 11 years of age my glans was really sensitive. If I took my cock out it was hard instantly and when I rolled my foreskin back it became super hard and my cock head felt like it was going to burst! As soon as I started wanking the sensation was divine and I could have orgasmed very quickly. Not now fifty something years later. The exquisite sensitivity is no longer present and the ability to cum and stay hard afterwards is gone too. My wife tells me her clitoris is the same. Very much less sensitive. The days of wearing tight jeans making her cum are gone and her orgasms are very very less intense. I'm in no doubt sex and orgasms at 60 something are only a poor substitute of what they were like in teens and twenties. Age affects every part of the body including the cock and clitoris. Unfortunately!

When young everything was new, responsibilities were easily compartmentalized & orgasm was a foremost priority.
As age & consequences of missed responsibilities increase, as sexual novelty becomes familiar it's all just less exciting
Physical health issues aside, I find the mind is the biggest factor. My mind is always several steps ahead of whatever is happening & if I know what's coming I a) become familiar & only mildly excited & b) my body will only be as aroused as it must be. If my mind finds a situation familiar it will multitask, attentions divided. Gone are the days of full arousal at the slightest possibility since I now know that is not required. For me reduced arousal begets reduced sensitivity in mind & of organs. Keeping fit & always searching for ways to keep things new, unknown & fresh are the best remedies I have found to reduced sensitivity & pleasure.

… after further consideration, and reading everyone's thoughts on the topic … perhaps, we should be discussing the evolution of our pleasurable glans sensations over the years. My masturbation techniques are constantly evolving, and I've observed other guys jerking-off utilizing various techniques.

In conclusion, many anecdotes exist that assume my foreskin-covered glans assures that my glans is more sensitive to touch than a circumcised cock. Many men and women have questioned me about this "fact", and it can become an interesting discussion. They assume that I should reach orgasm and ejaculate sooner due to "the heightened sensitivity" of my glans while they are giving me hand jobs.
I agree. Your sensitivity doesn’t necessarily make you a quick shot. You kind of learn how to use it. Unless I took what you said incorrectly? Compared to how I used to be, I’m ridiculously sensitive but I operate myself differently due to that.

Oh yes, I agree with all the above. When I started wanking (masturbating) around 10 or 11 years my cock was super sensitive and also became erect if I just took it out and pushed the skin back. My orgasms were very intense and I often wanked off 3 times in a day. It's a very different story now. How I wish I was young again!
