Hello,

To prevent desensitization, be gentle with yourself. Too much friction, or dry masturbation or using a very tight grip can reduce sensitivity over time. Avoid doing all of these. Porn overuse causes psychological desensitization. Avoid watching porn. Avoid over-washing as it dries out the skin and irritates. Just use warm water or gentle unscented soap.

Wear loose, breathable cotton underwear. Trim pubic hair carefully to reduce friction. If irritation continues, take a break from masturbation for a few days. Get clinically examined by a urologist to detect or rule out fungal or bacterial infection.

For a healthy and responsive penis, exercise regularly and improve circulation. Stay hydrated and eat heart-healthy foods as it is good for blood flow. Avoid smoking and excessive alcohol – both reduce sensitivity and performance. Manage stress, as it can affect libido and function.

I hope I have answered your question. Take care.
