The urology site where I was reading about neuralgia, which was a research link through my medical school, said sometimes the pudendal neuralgia could cause pain and sometimes low sensitivity. Sometimes even extraordinarily high sensitivity. Just depends on the person and the way he responds to the inflammation. That's not a real common problem, apparently. Similarly, pudendal nerve damage might cause pain and it might simply cause insensitivity. People can have differing degrees of nerve damage causing different symptoms.

I don't necessarily think that it's your posture that's putting pressure on your back or even on the nerve that runs under your perineum to your "boys." If that caused such problems, there'd be a lot more complaints from men about decreased sensation or complaints of nerve pain from simply sitting than there are, and really the only such problems I've read about are connected to bicycle seats, which angle up and support the man's body weight right smack under that area.

Chances are a change in your posture won't necessarily make a difference. If it's related to something that's happening in your back, which of course we don't really know is the case, it's more likely that you might have a bulging disk in the lumbar region that's putting pressure on one of your spinal nerves (which in turn supplies that area). Or something of that nature. I figure there are probably myriad other urological or neurological causes for such symptoms, too. You might simply run it past your GP to see if he thought it was something worth talking to a urologist about or whether a neurologist would be the one to consult.
birdgirl73 Reviewed by birdgirl73 on . Sexual Sensation I've been having this problem recently. Whenever I'm doing something involving sex, whether its by myself or with someone else, there's almost no sensation in my penis. I can feel it, but its like over night some weeks ago it suddenly lost some of its feeling and I don't get nearly as satisfatory pleasure from having sex. For a while I put it down to smoking, I had some seriously bad colds and random nose bleeds, 'infection ?', and I smoked throughout and ever since then, it sounds odd, but its Rating: 5
