Is it normal for the head of the penis to be sensitive when not erect? -

The head of my penis is sensitive when not erect. It isn t as sensitive as it is when erect, but it is still sensitive enough to notice. Is this normal? I m 16 going on 17 years old and circumsized.

I am sorry that you were mutilated.Yes the glans are always sensitive,and apart from being mutilated you are normal. Edit.......One mans circumision is another mans mutilation.When it is the female type,it is regarded as mutilation,it is the same for boys.They are mutilated.

There will always be some sensitivity in the glans whether flaccid or erect, circumcised or uncircumcised. Uncircumcised men usually have hyper sensitivity to simple touch, making it uncomfortable to allow clothing, a washcloth, or even a partner s hand to come into contact. Circumcision ensures that the glans is in contact with clothing as you grow up and develop. This doesn t significantly reduce actual sensitivity but the brain learns to tune out normal contact here just as we are not particularly aware of our clothes touching other parts of the body and washing isn t painful. You are perfectly normal and your parents gave you the life-long benefits by way of health that circumcision brings. Enjoy!

Hi Justin Yes this is normal. The head is much more sensitive than the remainder of your penis. I don t think it makes any difference whether or not you are circumcised. Don t worry about it - just make the most of any opportunities which you find. Otherwise just do what you need to do to ease the pressure. All the best.

your fine... backpain above me here is commenting on your being circumsized. it s a common thing in america to be circumsized, don t worry about it, there is nothing you did...

Yes, it s normal, especially around the edges and around the urethra opening. No problems here -
