Hello, I've noticed less sensitivity in my penis and was wondering what type
of underwear (boxers or briefs) would be recommended? Thanks.

Along these lines, I would like to add a request for information about
any thoughts on why a man would continue to have a reasonable libido,
ability to achieve normal erections, but over time, become take longer
and longer to ejaculate until finally reaching the point that both
spouses are tired of intercourse (in excess of 1 hour of intercourse)
without the male ejaculating. This "dilemma" was presented to me by a
man in his mid 40's with a normal testosterone level (his doc checked)
and no known neuropathy or conditions like diabetes that might
predispose him to neuropathy. He said that he can still climax with
assistance from a vibrator, which raises the question of his sensation
being diminished, or that he simply becomes too tired during intercourse
to ejaculate.
I know that I, as well as other men, have noted that we take longer to
climax as we get older, but this sounds unusual.
Any thoughts? By the way, he denies shortness of breath, muscle
fatigue, discomfort, or distracting thoughts during intercourse. He
reports that he still enjoys it, but that he would like to complete the
act inside his wife, not next to her.
Thanks for any comments

Certain medications are known to affect the ability to reach
orgasm. The SSRI class of antidepressants does this, and I
believe tranquilzers of the benzodiazipine class, such as
valium and xanax. In theory, blood pressure medications
such as beta blockers, diuretics and centrally-acting meds
could also have this effect, but I think they would be more
likely to cause erectile failure along with it. And then
finally, our friends viagra, cialis and levitra delay orgasm
in many men, for unknown reasons.

So if he is on any medications, he might want to get on
Google and see whether known side effects include
anorgasmia.

Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. I take a lot
longer myself, but I think it's due to cialis. Please let
us know if uncover anything interesting on this.

I should add that I'm not at all convinced that this has anything to
do with sensitivity in the penis. I think orgasms mainly occur in
the brain in what is probably a very complicated process. Or at
least the brain is heavily involved. Unless there is some kind of
known nerve impairment involved, I just doubt that sensitivity is
involved. Of course I'm not a doctor, so this is just my two cents'
worth.

When I'm having trouble getting there, I find that it is thinking
about something particularly exciting that gets me over the top, not
doing anything physically different.

For most guys I would think that anything that helps
to delay orgasm is a plus. Premature ejaculation is to be a more of a
widespread problem than does the inability to achieve orgasm. In fact PE.
has probably caused me more anxiety than ED.
