It is normal for a man to lose his touch or erection down there. But losing your erection at a younger age can be frustrating and embarrassing. We listed five tips for resurrecting a desensitized male organ.
- Take better care of heart health
More men need to know that penis health actually has a lot to do with heart health.
One reason?amongst many others?that a man begins to lose sensations on his penis as he grows older, is that his blood circulation has turned for the worse.
This is mainly due to the decrease in heart health, in which the heart now becomes less able to vigorously pump blood towards the penis.
That then results in fewer sensations on the penis due to lack of blood.
Anything that is good for the heart will be good for your penis as well, so you need to take care of it from now on.
The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the significance of recognizing that making lifestyle changes to improve heart health can also have positive effects on penis health. It is recommended to integrate a variety of beneficial practices into your daily routine. These practices include participating in regular physical activity, maintaining a healthy weight, quitting smoking entirely, and consuming alcohol in moderation or abstaining from it entirely. By embracing these measures, you can effectively enhance the well-being of both your heart and your penis.
Eat foods that are known to benefit the heart and quit unhealthy habits that are known to damage it.
Some foods that are good for the heart, usually come in the colors red and purple.
- Consume multivitamins for penis health
Your body may not be able to receive all the good nutrients needed to maintain penis health just from the foods you eat. After all, the modern man’s diet is usually very limited in variation.
With that said, it is a good idea to source your vitamins and minerals from multivitamin supplements.
There are many dietary supplements that contain essential vitamins and minerals that are beneficial for the improvement of penis health; some of them are vitamins B and D, magnesium, potassium, and L-arginine.
These also happen to be commonly lacking in most people. Vitamin C is also a good one to have regularly as it promotes better blood circulation.
According to a Medical News Today article, there is a significant association between vitamin D deficiency and severe erectile dysfunction (ED), as indicated by a 2020 review and meta-analysis. Another study involving young males with low vitamin D levels discovered that those with a deficiency had lower scores in terms of erectile function. Vitamin D has shown potential in reducing oxidative stress, regulating blood pressure, and stimulating nitric oxide production, all of which can contribute to an improved erectile response.
Although dietary supplements are great for their usefulness and convenience, if you can, try your best to also source your vitamins and minerals from actual fresh foods—namely, fruits and vegs. Real foods still have a lot more to offer than supplements.
- Don’t forget to regularly moisturise the penis skin
Hey, moisturisation is not just a girl’s thing, and also, it is not just something you do to the skin of the face. Did you know that your penis skin can also experience drying and become brittle?
The longer you let the skin on the penis remain dry, the worse the loss of sensations can get. The logic goes like that.
So, if you never moisturise it since a young age and now you have reached your mid-age, it is possible you will feel a great loss of sensations on the penis. This is why you need to take better care of it.
Even if you are already in your mid-50s, you can still nurture your penis skin back to health by applying cream or lotion regularly.
Good creams for such a sensitive part of the body would include natural shea butter as well as vitamin E. These two creams are known to be the best in maintaining skin hydration.
- Wear loose-fitting underwear
You have probably heard that loose-fitting underwear like the boxers is better for the penis.
But did you know why? The logic behind that goes beyond just allowing your penis room to breathe, but it has a lot to do with skin rubbing as well.
Very tight-fitting underwear can usually allow minimal room for the penis skin to breathe, making it ultra-vulnerable from added heat, moreover, the skin then gets in contact with the fabric too much that it creates friction.
Over time, constant friction on the penis skin like this can damage the never cells and leave the penis sensationless once you reach your mid-50s.
If you can, limit your usage of tight-fitting underwear and clothing, and opt instead for loose-fitting ones for the sake of your penis.
Boxer type of underwear is usually the best. If it fits you, you can also sleep naked for the best maintenance.
As stated on the ForMen Health website, wearing tight underwear can result in reduced blood circulation due to the tight elastic. This reduction in blood flow can affect the penis, testicles, and even the thighs. Insufficient blood flow to the penis may contribute to erectile dysfunction (ED), while compromised blood flow to the testicles can also have negative effects.
- Pay attention to blood circulation
Have you ever thought about the health of your blood circulation? Hardly anyone ever thinks of that, but it’s actually super important, especially for men in terms of their penis performance.
As you know, the penis does not have any other support system aside from the blood flow that fills the penis cells. This is essentially what enables the penis to get hard and get up.
If you have poor blood circulation, the penis can have a hard time receiving blood, which then means fewer sensations on the penis skin even when you are sexually stimulated.
If you want to return sensations to your penis, you would do well to start paying attention to your blood circulation and begin to engage in healthy habits that can improve it.
Foods for blood, regular activities, and drinking plenty of water on a daily basis are a good place to start.

- Train your lower body
You should know by now that physical exercises are good for the body. In fact, regular exercise is recommended for people of all ages as part of the daily maintenance of health.
Now, if you have some issues with your penis health and how it has become rather less sensitive, this may indicate a lower body part as well.
So, you would do well to train your lower body part—yes, even exercises that involve the legs can significantly make a difference.
The lower body—including the legs—are immediately connected to your reproductive area.
If you strengthen your butt and thighs you can significantly gain power there and at the same time, blood circulation to this area becomes improved. This effectively brings back sensations to your penis and its surrounding area.
With that said, try to do squatting or stretchings of the legs every morning. It’s okay to start slowly. Everybody needs to start somewhere.
- Try to consume a lot of watermelons
Yup, that red fleshy fruit we all eat during summer. Watermelons are secretly called natural Viagra due to their ability to really rejuvenate your penis and its ability to get hard.
Watermelons contain a natural compound called citrulline. Citrulline is an amino acid that is often mimicked by many male enhancement supplements to make them effective in treating male sexual dysfunctions.
What citrulline does is open up blood vessels in your body, automatically allowing blood to run its course towards the penis area when you are sexually aroused.
This is why including watermelons in your regular diet may be a good idea. If you live in some tropical country, watermelons may be easier to get, so this is your chance to get high on them (figuratively, please).
As with everything in life, try to use discernment and not overconsume even good things.
