So, what makes a healthy penis? There are myriad factors for optimal penile health, and everyone is different. But basically, a healthy penis is taken care of by its owner.
A healthy penis is properly moisturized, has an even color, and no cracking skin or visible lesions. A healthy penis has lots and lots of sensation, and the skin on the glans is healthy with soft, supple skin that’s always growing and generating new nerves to bring back sensation that may be waning or lost.
Loss of penis sensitivity is, unfortunately, not uncommon.There are lots of external factors, medical conditions, medical procedures like circumcision, and medications that affect how your penis functions and ultimately determine the health and sensitivity of your penis.
A healthy penis is:
- Clean
- Nourished
- Protected from unwanted pregnancy and STDs
- Protected from rough activities like sports
- Checked regularly
- Free of chafing, tenderness, burning, or itching
- SENSITIVE
