How to reduce the sensitivity of the glans

Generally, methods to reduce glans sensitivity include using condoms, behavioral training, local cold compresses, glans massage, and medication. Details are as follows:

1. Use of condoms: Condoms can reduce direct friction between the glans and vaginal wall to some extent. Their material provides a certain degree of insulation and cushioning, reducing the transmission of sexual stimulation, thereby helping to decrease glans sensitivity.

2. Behavioral training: Through specific sexual behavioral training methods, such as slow stimulation and distraction techniques, the brain can gradually adapt to sexual stimulation, thus reducing the glans' excessive sensitivity to stimulation.

3. Local cold compress: Cold compress can cause vasoconstriction in the glans area, thereby reducing its sensitivity. Prior to sexual activity, a clean towel wrapped around an ice pack or ice bag can be gently applied to the glans. Each cold compress should not last too long—approximately 1-2 minutes—to avoid frostbite.

4. Glans massage: Appropriate massage can help the nerves in the glans gradually adapt to stimulation. Additionally, massage can improve local blood circulation in the glans, thereby reducing sensitivity to some extent.

5. Medication: Certain topical medications contain local anesthetic ingredients, such as lincomycin lidocaine gel, dapoxetine hydrochloride, and paroxetine hydrochloride tablets. These medications can desensitize the nerve endings on the glans surface, reducing its responsiveness to stimulation and thus prolonging sexual intercourse. However, these medications should be used under the guidance of a physician.

Methods for reducing glans sensitivity vary among individuals and should be approached with caution. If excessive glans sensitivity affects sexual life, it is recommended to seek medical advice to obtain a treatment suitable for the individual's condition.
