Some describe coating gauze in Vaseline, padding cricket cups, or even screaming in frustration at the sheer sensitivity of the glans. Others recount numbing gels prescribed by doctors, dropped from a height just to avoid direct contact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>These aren\u2019t exaggerations.

By 6\u20138 weeks, sensitivity often decreases, and by a year, many describe comfort and even renewed confidence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But the path there is unnecessarily harsh.
