So I’ve got a question about cocks and sexual sensitivity.

One of the limitations of heterosexuality or, of course, homosexuality, is that however experienced one might be with the responsiveness of different individuals of one’s preferred gender one is necessarily going to have more limited experience with whichever gender isn’t the one you prefer. That means an opposite-side data point of one if you’re straight, or none if not.

In my case I’ve got pretty much a data point of me and for the question I’ve got that’s not enough so I’m going to ask those of you with more sexual experience with cocks other than mine.

So!

Pretty much every sex education book introduces the penis as functionally blah-blah this, and la-la that (usually without mentioning that whatever else it’s good for one of its functions is caressing one’s partner.) After the functional formalities there’s mention that the “head, or ‘glans’” has the most nerve endings and is most sensitive to touch.

So…

I gotta admit that the head, “or glans,” of my cock has the most nerve endings and is most sensitive to the touch. I also, however, gotta admit that all those sensitive nerve endings aren’t really very erotically sensitive. They’re extraordinarily good at, say, helping me locate just the right part of a partners vulva without me having to look, of being able to tell… quite a lot really… about how she’s feeling about penetration: how wet she is, how warm she is, how engorged and open her lips are, where the verge of her vagina is, and whether I should try to enter her at all or if I should first dip shallowly and slowly for lubrication or whether she’d be into me deepening my strokes. It’s even good (and, it seems to me, almost exactly the right shape) for telling when it’s touching her cervix so that, if I know she’s enjoying it (which some partners do) I can continue or if she doesn’t care for it at all (which some partners really don’t) then I can steer clear.

What all those sensitive nerve endings are not good for, however, is…

...pretty much anything to do with arousal or orgasm!

Anybody else have experience with that, either as a cock owner or as partners with cock owners?

Now that doesn’t mean my glans never feels erotic sensation, but if it does at all it only does so way, way, way far into extended arousal and even then it feels good only with the lightest sensations and tons of lubrication.

Instead what’s most sensitive to erotic touch for me is the skin an inch or two below the glans, the wrinkly, oak-y, tattered remnants of my foreskin, especially along the sides and underside (underside when if I’m standing up, anyway.) The surface there is instantly and erogenously sensitive to warmth, moisture, and touch. The lightest contact from tongue, or labia, or a slickened finger feels marvelous there, and somewhere below the surface, close to the slippery-hard core, especially near the spongy ridge along the bottom, there are deeper nerve endings that respond very nicely to firmer pressure from tongue or the roof of the mouth, from thumb or fingers, and from the slippery/hard corrugations right over the G-spot just inside and under the pubic bone.

Oh, where was I?

Oh yeah, textbooks and sex manuals. They tend to go on about nerve endings in the glans (as they do about the glans of the clitoris, by the way) as if raw numbers told the whole story. At least if you asked me but I could be mistaken so I’m instead asking you.
