Remember that rumor that was going around on social media? It said that using a vibrator or masturbating a lot can make the clitoris less sensitive. No, that's not right. It is safe to use a vibrator on your genitalia. But it is possible to feel numb or even sore for a short time during or after sex. It is called sexual overstimulation or sometimes clit overstimulation. It can happen during internal (vaginal) sex, oral sex, or ongoing genital contact.
If you have ever had too much overstimulation, it can be frustrating to stop having sex in the middle of a good time. It can be a little scary at times. But there are ways to avoid too much stimulation, and the first step is understanding how it happens. What you need to know is listed below.
Sexual Overstimulation: Explanation
Marla Renee Stewart, MA, a sexologist and expert for the sexual wellness brand 'Lovers,' says that overstimulation kink happens when genital contact goes from feeling great to make you feel uncomfortable or numb.
Stewart says, "Overstimulation happens when a person is very excited and does the same thing over and over again." This happens either right before or after an orgasm (usually more than one), and Stewart says that most people's genitals feel "numb and even sore." Even though the numbness can be annoying, many people go through it at some point in their lives.
Some people are more sensitive than others, and if they have more sex than usual, they might feel too excited. But if sex is always painful, you should see a doctor. It could be a sign of vaginismus, hormonal changes (like those that happen during menopause, childbirth, or menstruation), or an infection (including a vaginal yeast infection or an STI).
Men Dealing With Sexual Overstimulation
Men experience overstimulation when they have too many orgasms or repeatedly urinate. When you touch yourself too much, your penis gets dry and itchy, which hurts and irritates you without giving you any time to cool down. Your body gets too excited to have a sexual activity, which can lead to erectile dysfunction or a loss of libido. Even though dysfunction of the penis is a normal part of getting older, it is more of a choice for younger men.
Sexual Overstimulation Affecting Erectile Dysfunction
If you are facing an overstimulation kink, the orgasms or morning erections that were giving you so much pleasure will start to make you uncomfortable, or you might not even reach the climax at all. As frustrating as it sounds, these things can mess up your sexual relationship with your partner.
Men between the ages of 23 and 32 can have too much sexual overstimulation of the body and mind if they live an unhealthy lifestyle. So, drinking too many beers and too much alcohol is the main reason why your sexual needs aren't being met or why you've lost your libido. When you were in your 20s, you went to clubs, got high, and had morning erections that caused you to jerk off too many times. You can't even get a firm penis to jerk off now.
Having a hard penis isn't the only embarrassing thing about having a hard penis. The constant irritation and mild pain while you do your everyday tasks, are also quite embarrassing. Many urologists and therapists say that a mind suffering from sexual overstimulation as a result of watching pornography or taking drugs can become temporarily unable to perform sexual acts.
Sex therapist Dr. Morgan Francis cites an increase in pornography viewing – watching porn three to five times a week can cause a loss of appetite for real-life sexual interaction because the brain's dopamine reserves are consistently depleted by overstimulation. But there is a way to make things better. It is possible to treat overstimulation. All that needs to be done is follow the doctor's instructions, and everything will be pleasurable again.
Treatments of Sexual Overstimulation
Even though it is a common problem, you should not put it off for too long. Because of your illness, your partner also has a hard time. After all, it's up to us to get our partner excited, and repeating ourselves will only make things harder.
We think that you and your partner would both be better off if you didn't take it as a personal slight since that could lead to some very bad things. When getting treatment, think about the things that led to this condition. As we've talked about, many things can cause sexual overstimulation symptoms. If you want to find a solution, you have to be open and honest with your doctor about it.
Most of the time, a therapist or urologist will tell you to avoid penetrating sex for a few weeks and get back together through non-intimate touches, like taking a bath. And if you want to treat yourself too much, you can keep your hands off your pants and do some productive work or try meditation.
Conclusion
It is very upsetting to feel stuck in a no-sex phase or to have sexual overstimulation symptoms in general, but you should remember that it is just a phase. We put a lot of effort into this article, and you should do the same. Talk to your partner or see a urologist as soon as you can. You are just missing an appointment for all that steamy sex, endless pleasure, and fulfilling your sex bucket list. Don't worry, and see a doctor as soon as you feel indications of sexual overstimulation. We appreciate you staying until the end.
