I did a improper hanging technique w/ the bib hanger about 9 months ago. I had about 8lbs hanging, and stopped right at about 25min when I realized I couldn't feel my penis. My glans went white. I've seen three urologists now. "There's nothing we can do for you" "It's probably nerve damage". Tonight, I look down at my penis head and see scars on top of scars, patchy, and pale. My penis head used to be bright red and I was extremely sensitive. Now, there's parts of my head that I cant feel. I realize this is nerve damage. I'm depressed as fuck. Why did I do this to myself? Some days it'll feel like I'm getting better (more color, feeling. And then, days like today, it gets worse again. I will say that on the hole, sensitivity and color have slightly improved over the course of 9months. I have found a correlation to masterbation and haulting my improvement. When I masterbate too much, I'll get worse. I'll even feel pain deep at the base of my dick. Some of you might be thinking, why the fuck would you masterbate if you're injured. To that I say, blood flow. I am just guessing though. Who really knows what's going on with me? I realize I'm a fool, you don't have to reiterate that

OHH man I'm sorry to hear that!
I can understand how painful is this.
c'mon Doctors I respect them, they're more than needed, but they are humans they don't know anything. You definitely can fix it.

Blood flow is great, but don't jerk it for pleasure, get erect wear a cock ring (very light one).
Plus+ you should sleep and rest, your whole body goes under maintenance while you sleep,sleep at least 8 hours and on your biological clock hours!
Eat right bro, don't expect your dick to heal itself if what your body absorbs to function and heal is trash! Do some research for specifically foods,minerals, vitamins etc for Nerve Tissue

-Dont masturbate
-Eat healthy
-sleep properly
-Research what your body needs in order to heal itself from nerve damage, and what other tissue are involved in your dick!


Wish you the best bro ;) you'll be ok in a few months, jUST TAKE ACTION NOW! WALK towards that outcome.

Stay away from hanging for now. I think a cockring will help with blood flow by trapping the erect penis at the base with a cockring instead of masturbating too much.

I am absolutely certain he shouldn't be using any clamping device, cock ring inclusive.
You want to assist blood flow not constrict it even further. I think that is what led to this issue in the first place.
My advice would be to inculcate these in your healing routine, take nitric oxide, some vitamins, hot water therapy, and then take things slow, its been 9 months already . . . well, you can wait some more months.

Only time can heal nerve damage. You should never hang longer than 20 minutes.

Agreed.

I agree too haha dont get me wrong.
only "time"! so give time to the time.

But i think somebody who has healthy lifestyle heals waay faster and way stronger than somebody that does not.
 
Thanks guys for your encouraging words. It's been a rough year, on top of all this I got chlamydia about a month ago from this girl I was seeing. I have to go into the doc tomorrow to make sure I'm clean now. I haven't masterbated for four days, which is a feat personally. I seem to be a chronic masterbator. Whenever I masterbate too much now, I'll get a set back (weak erections/pale head/numbness). I'm taking some supplements, eating right, working out, and sleeping enough. I hope you guys don't mind me posting here again in the near future, might need reassurance.

Update: I took about 8 days off from cumming (I still masterbated here and there). After 8 days, my penis was getting rock hard again. It almost returned to its redish original color, and sensitivity was at about 90% back to normal. For the first time in 9 months, this is the best improvement I've seen. On top of that, my head and some of my shaft was dry and flakey. This has never happened to me before. I believe this means regeneration is happening. Anyways, I decide to masterbate and cum a few times. Welp, part of my head is pale again and I lost some sensitivity again. I'm supposed to see a neurologist soon. Mind you I used to jack it every single day, sometimes several times a day. So this is kinda driving me crazy!
 
Be patient I'm sure it's hard we are rooting for you. I would abstain from jacking a bunch maybe try slow jelqs and maybe even short sets with a [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words] to bring healthy blood flow

So stop masturbating. It seems like a tough thing but after a few weeks it becomes easy.

Try 2 weeks without masturbation

That is a good chunk of time and I bet after two weeks he will have broken the habit.

It usually does take 2-3 weeks to start something and get it going. That's how I started working out.
 
Hey guys just got back from the neurologist. He confirmed I have a dorsal nerve injury. He said this injury should clear itself up over time. The biggest thing I'm dealing with is this glove feeling every time I ejaculate. He prescribed Alpha Lipoic Acid to stop that busy feeling. As for the lack of sensitivity, he said it's a waiting game. He said I should be able to masterbate occasionally. What do you guys think?

Only time will tell if the prescription is any helpful or not. We're not professionals when it comes to this stuff so its best to stay on top of research and see if what your doctor prescribed as helped other people with similar problems.

I suggest strongly trying to break the habit. I've pretty much broke it and honestly it's been the best thing for me and my wife's sex life. Yes for you single guys married men still deal with this shit haha. Also if you can't break it and are going to continue I'd suggest getting something like a flashlight or similar as it's more natural then your hand and you may possibly be gripping to hard and injuring yourself when masterbating. I'm sure your thinking you'd know if you were doing that but believe it or not a lot of men grip to hard and this does cause injury it's common with chronic masterbation so just some different choices. I'll say after quitting the first 30 days which I know seems like forever your dick will never feel so great.

Not sure how long it has been for me, I will find the confessional thread to see. I know that it rarely enters my mind anymore, I feel such freedom from adult entertainment and masturbation!

When you think about it though 2-3 weeks isnt that long. Anyone can do it to break or make a habit :)
 
So I masterbated consecutively for the past three days. The paleness and numbness have returned. I'm so fucking confused. Every doctor that I have seen has said masterbation is fine. I don't get it. I use cocoa butter and lightly masterbate. If I abstain from masterbation, how long? A month? A year? That just sounds ridiculous to me. The doctors say I am not injuring myself thru masterbation, but the paleness and numbness tell me otherwise. I'm so confused. Dealing with a lot of sadness because of this; feel very alone. I keep scaring myself, reading countless forums on men dealing with nerve injuries for many years with little to no improvement. Why did I have to do this to myself
 
How do you jerk off when your cock hurts? Thats like doing sprints with a fractured foot or toe. Its not going to heal without complete rest. Good luck though.

It's not that it hurts. I'll return to normal sensation, jack off a few times, and the symptoms arise again (pale, numb, can't get a strong erection). I have no problem taking time off, it's just a little confusing when literally every doctor says masterbation is fine, you know?

I would abstain for a month and see where you are from there. If the doctors are telling you one thing and that is not working I suggest taking our advice. A break will teach you much about yourself too, it is quite liberating.

Try abstaining at first for 1 week. Then release. Then try 2 weeks and repeat this process to see how long you can go for with comfort. 3 days in a row usually isn't best for me, for others it works. Learn how your body responds and adapt to changes you need in order to stay at a good erection quality and healthy penis state. I personally masturbate once a month. I may reduce this to ejaculating once every 3 weeks since I'm with someone now.

Are you currently having sex also? If so does this occur after Sex or just when you jack off?
 
smitty2590;718728 said:

I am curious as well, maybe abstain from jacking off for 2+ weeks and try getting laid.

Good luck neat dude, like everybody is saying you really need to be patient and let yourself heal. This will take time
 
Thanks guys. I haven't been having any sex recently, just masterbation. Also, tomorrow I set myself up w/ an appt w/ an ED doctor. I'm gunna try to get a penile Doppler scan done. Maybe the scar on the head of my dick means something. Ugh, this means they're gunna inject something into my dick with a needle

Well if at all possible I suggest you do as acro suggest and try to refrain from jacking off and possibly try getting laid a bit and see if the same thing happens. If this is a possible route that is.

If you fall do not be hard on yourself, this is a tough thing you are undertaking. 30 days will bring much into focus and show you places in your life that may be lacking. It is like fasting to cleanse the body, in this sense it is abstinence to cleans the mind.

Agreed. Was a very hard task for myself and I still occasionally revert for one day then back to months without just take it one step at a time.
 
So I saw the ED doc, I fear this might be a venous leak or a blockage in the penile arteries. I do think the nerves have healed a lot, but I'm still dealing with partial impotence some days. Trying to hold back tears during Christmas is going to be tough. Still waiting to hear back from the ED doc so I can go back and get an ultrasound done. Please god let me be okay, I'm only 25

You are going to be just fine and I will be sure of this as I will make a special request from Jesus to heal you quickly and bring security back to your mind. First, these issues can be dealt with and completely corrected, your doctor will prescribe and/or perform a basic procedure to correct this. After this is put in place you will find relief in about 3-4 weeks. It is Christmas, the only tears should be ones of joy! Be happy, enjoy Christmas and let you fears be on me, let me take this suffering and you relax! I will continually pray for you until your health is restored.

I would try to deal with it naturally as long as possible. try try try not to masterbate. dont take this the wrong way but you should talk to a professional about your issue and maybe they can give you some tips/perspective. we all want you to be better so try to be patient. I would take natural herbs to bring blood flow to that area like horny goat weed, white willow bark, curcumin. maybe do some research on your own. good luck dude try to stay positive you are young so you still have a lot of living to do.

Solid advice your being given. Please keep us updated and make sure to keep your member healthy. If you set your mind to it you will overcome the urge to masterbate. This will be one of the most difficult things for you but should help your situation.
 
So today after edging today (masterbating without cumming) I started to feel sharp shooting pains from my shaft to my glans. I almost drove myself down to the ER until it stopped. Tuesday cannot come any fucking faster. Now I'm thinking something is blocking the bloodflow to the head of my dick. This is turning into a bigger deal than I originally thought. After 9 months, these "episodes" are getting longer with shorter breaks of normality in between. Quick note to anyone that ever goes through this bullshit, if you tell a doctor you have ED problems due to nerve damage, the doctor will show you the door. But if you claim that a vascular problem is the root of your ED, all the doors open. I had to figure it out on my own that this really is a vascular problem. Probably an artery blockage. I'm thinking I'll have to have surgery now. Great.
 
Bro no offense but I think you should speak to a therapist about masterbating all the time. You are talking about getting surgery because you edged too much? Slow down and don't make any crazy decisions. What happens if you get a surgery and then hurt yourself again? Because at this point it sounds possible. Be careful and try to get counceling + read my earlier post about natural herbs.

I agree with acro, we have tried to advise against masterbating so much but not being rude he seems to brush it off and I believe he is not allowing enough time for his dick to heal properly. I hope he takes our advise from this post and somehow combats his urge and will allow some time to see if heading can take place. Hope to hear good update eventually brother.
 
STOP Masturbating! Gain some discipline and STOP! Nothing should master us but God.
 
ok I've stopped fapping. I'm partially upset because I just found this perfect pornstar that I can't fap to lol Lucy Tyler. Someone fap to her for me since my dick might fall off any day now
 
No but seriously, thank you guys for your support. I'm honestly scared shitless that I've permanently damaged myself. I have an appt w/ the urologist on Thurs where I will ask for an ultrasound to be done. I hope whatever has been damaged can be fixed. Looking up info on trauma induced ED can be very disheartening.
