Does masturbating make you less sensitive to sex?

[Anonymous]

Weird question. Ik. Does masturbating make you less sensitive to sex in the future? I'm asking because since I've turned 16 I've been doing it kinda a lot lately and I heard that it can make you less sensitive to sex in the future. I need to know if there is any truth to this, I'm not planning to have sex until after I'm married which could easily be a good 10 plus years and I don't want to wait that long and feel nothing so I really need to know. Lol. Thanks.

Masturbation in itself is unharmful; however, excessive masturbation (i. e. daily or weekly) can cause delayed ejaculation or inability to orgasm during penile-viginal sex.

For guys, the brain becomes conditioned to achieve orgasm via ones hand. For girls, the brain becomes conditioned to a vibrator-induced orgasm.

I gave up masturbation 10 months ago after coming to terms with excessive masturbation was the cause of my inability to climax quickly during penile-vaginal sex for the relationships I had between 2007 and 2015.

My delayed ejaculation condition got worst between Jan 2015 and July 2015 when I could not climax inside a vagina despite more than 60 mins of hard pounding. 🖱

Since giving up masturbation, I can now easily achieve orgasm from viginal penetration as my dick has regained its natural sensitivity and my brain has unlearned the old rules of cumming via handjob.

Well I don't use a vibrator, just my fingers so could that still affect me later on? I mean, I would hope that sex would feel better than me just rubbing myself.

Of course you can masturbate with your hands. You are less likely to have clitoral numbness with hand-masturbation than with vibrator-masturbation. Clitoral numbness is the condition where the clitoris loses its pleasurable sensation during normal stimulation, such as during vaginal sex, oral sex, or normal hand touch. It is perfectly OK to use your hands to masturbate. However, hand masturbation can also cause clitoral numbness, and can condition your brain to always climax with hands. To avoid these problems, masturbate with your hands less often. Sometimes masturbate with your pants on. You are stroking your clit outside your pants. Sometimes masturbate by pillow humping or hand-shower water. These techniques could avoid your brain being conditioned to one method of masturbation, and reduce the risk of clitoral numbness.

Thanks for the tips.

It depends how you masturbate. If you just play with yourself and see what you like then no. It might even help make your honeymoon sex better because you know what you want him to do with your body. If you use a vibrator then yes it most definitely can and usually does make you less sensitive because the human body can't even come close to replicating the sensation of a vibrator has on you. Good luck waiting Anonymous. I'm also waiting and often it is not easy doing so just from the teasing alone. However if you know that your proud to be waiting your friends will stop teasing you and some might even support you in it. God bless

[Asker]

Thanks, good luck to you too. It's nice to see a guy your age waiting, especially nowadays.

[Dim_121]

Gee thanks that is nice to hear especially from someone as young as you are.

Of course each women has different experiences, but I have never heard of a women desensitizing herself. In fact masturbation can make you more sensitive. If you can learn what you like by yourself then you can share that information with your future husband and make your wedding night WAY better. The only thing I can think of is that you Could develop a preference to being pleasured a specific way, but with a good partner there should be no issue.
Waiting till marriage is hard, but good masturbation should help you not fall in to marriage as a sexual release. It wasn't the right choice for me, but I wish you luck!

It doesn't make you less sensitive but there's a lot more to sex and you don't learn it from masturbating or watching porn.

Learn to make connections with guys and honestly don't wait until marriage. Just use birth control and condoms.

[Asker]

Ok, thanks for the info. Why do you think it's important to not wait until marriage and just have sex?

[Aloneyloneloner]

What if your partner is into something too kinky that you don't like? Sex is a big part of marriage and if you don't feel comfortable satisfying them completely then you could face marital problems. For example, when you go to a shoe store, do you try on shoes before you buy them? Yes, you want to see if they fit, if they are comfortable, if they don't hurt when you walk, if they look good on you and so on. Same with marriage. That is why people date before getting married. To see if the shoe fits.

[Asker]

Yea, that makes sense. I mean I don't even really want to wait but I'm a Christian and we're suppose to wait until marriage, so yea I'm kinda worried about that happening.

[Aloneyloneloner]

You won't be worried if you're well equipped with information. Inform yourself on contraception and be wise about the guys you choose.

[Xfitchick]

No, not at all. It even helps you finding your sensitive spots and the best way to stimulate them. Then you can steer your partner to get the maximum pleasure.

I agree with the other opinions on here. Masturbating will do nothing to make you less sensitive. What it will do is help you to know your body and know what feels good for you. This is likely to make sex better for you in the future.
There are probably lots of girls who are afraid to try to masturbate and therefore have sex without knowing what works for them.

[KattFeesh]

Absolutely positively incorrect. If anything it makes you more aware how you want to do it and where you want to go

[summiter]

It is normal and healthy. It never made me less sensitive. Enjoy the great orgasms in the meantime.

As you know over 95% of young guys your age masturbate frequently although most will never admit it!

[AlwaysAGoodDay]

I dont know I think for a woman it might be a healthy thing to do. I mean when you do have sex I think you should sort of know what to expect ahead of time especially a woman considering they can feel pain during sex sometimes.

[NYkid27]

I don't think it makes you less sensitive unless you use a toy like a vibrator and masturbate multiple times every day

[NYkid27]

by the way you can message me anytime if you have any other questions or you want to talk

[Asker]

Cool, thanks for the open invitation.

[NYkid27]

You're welcome. I had surgery on my back and I have to take it easy until it's fully healed so I have plenty of time to talk to and try to help people on here

[Asker]

Oh I'm sorry to hear that but at least you're helping others in the process. Get well soon😊

[NYkid27]

Thanks

[Asker]

I think I do have one quick question. If I'm using just my finger to rub (not finger) myself do you think I could become desensitized, since I do it the same way every time?

[NYkid27]

I don't think so. The clitoris is basically there just to be simulated like that so I doubt you can desensitize it just by doing that

[Asker]

Ok😅 cool, thanks again.

[NYkid27]

You're welcome. by the way masturbating is completely normal for a girl your age so I don't think you have anything to worry about

[Asker]

👍👍👍😊

[NYkid27]

You can message me now if you want to lol. I'm so bored and I can't sleep

[Asker]

Sorry, I would any other time but it's 4:30 am here and I really need to log off and get some sleep, plus my phones about to die. Lol.

[NYkid27]

No problem. It's the same time here so I understand. Night

[Decentguy]

maybe, not sure tho. but its ok to masturbate a lot when your near the age of 16

[anonman32]

i think that if you stop masturbating for a week you regain sensitvity.

[Asadi]

its fine if u do it once or twice a week

[Zack1994]

Send me a message I got some advice

[Anonymous]

It can if you do it too much or even cause tears

[Anonymous]

Lol, no. Trust me.

[Anonymous]

Everybody's wrong. The act itself isn't desensitizing. What would be desensitizing is constantly using an object or vibrator to do it. Basically, as long as you're not ramming a cucumber up there every day, you'll be fine.
