I wish my parents hadn't mutilated my genitals.

I didn't realize the head was supposed to be sensitive until my late twenties.

    I spent years regrowing my own foreskin. I was thrilled when, during a physical, the doctor noted I was uncircumcised. 'Only' took seven years of discomfort to be mostly whole again.

    That's great! I fear it would not help in my case. I suspect the loss of sensation is due to nerve damage. Maybe I'll ask a doctor about it next time I have health insurance.

    One way to be sure is keep it covered for a week and see if there's any change in sensitivity. You can use micropore tape, or wear a condom - just any method to keep your clothes from continuing the keritinization of the glans.
