Any suggestions for healing "death grip syndrome" ?

I'm struggling with the same thing, I haven't tried the new masturbation techniques, I'm just abstaining from PMO. I don't know if a fleshlight works since it's not the same as a real vagina, you could try it though and see if it works.

 

Im pretty sure the deathgrip is part of my problem as well as Porn however its not really discussed on this forum, Personally I do think the fleshlight will help the penis get used to the lighter touch similar to that of a V. If you want to masturbate, either use plenty of lube with a soft grip or a fleshlight.

Ive given up porn for good and the use of the deathgrip. Im not really thinking about what im allowed to do after my 90 days of no M or O as i know my mindset will be in a different place.

 

My two bits. Go 90 days first. That's going to be a huge boost since you'll experience increased sensation having abstained from any excessive M and O. Not viewing P will do good to the brain. Take this first step which is no small feat then you can perhaps think of the next one but this in itself should help a lot.

 

Ive just touched 5 weeks now without any Deathgrip or any form of M and i have far more sensations now via touch.Then again this could be linked to higher libido and testosterone due to nofap. hard to tell

 

It feels softer and the slightest touch feels good, better than i can ever remember, so im trying to limit its touch. haha

 

I think the cure to death grip is to stop masturbating. Thats what I am trying.

 

Go without masturbating for a while.
When you do it, use just a finger to stroke.
If you can cum with that kind of stimulation, your death grip problem is sorted.

 

find something else to do with your hands whenever you get an urge

 

No masturbation, no porn, no psubs, nothing. No touching, that's how. I could only orgasm from a vibrator and could barely feel anything and it took hours. I've been abstinent from pmo for over 120 days and I can orgasm from my partner using one finger. I refuse to orgasm alone, it's instant gratification and would lead back into addiction. No thanks. I'd rather focus on my life rather that thinking about playing with myself. I'd rather be physically intimate with someone who cares about me than an empty one night stand or my hand. Just my two cents, stay strong!!

 

I think before investing into a sextoy just to cure deathgrip, you should try and do a few weeks of no masturbation at all

 

I didn't even know what this "death grip" was until now.
From Urban Dictionary:
A non-medical condition, where a male who excessively masturbates develops callouses on his penis. The penis callouses begin to numb the penis head and causes the penis to become less sensitive to touch via genitals, mouth or hand.

The only known cure of this condition is to stop masturbating as often, to let the callouses face away on the penis.

Yikes. That must not be a very nice condition to have.

 

This is a porn and masturbation recovery site, so why are you guys talking about using lube or buying flesh lights to masturbate with?

The truth is that death grip causes desensitisation of the nerve endings in the penis, meaning nothing but your hand can give you the stimulation you require to orgasm, or even stay erect. Continuing to masturbate will not help you solve this problem. For best results, stop masturbating entirely, and allow sensitivity to return in the penis. This is a slow and gradual process but it is worth it. I doubt your sensitivity would return to a great extent if you were to change your masturbation technique.

I used to masturbate with the death grip as well. I would always masturbate dry and I would often get callouses and cuts on the skin of the penis. Since stopping masturbation entirely (for reasons other than the lack of sensitivity), my sensitivity has returned greatly. In fact even having an erection is enough to make it difficult not to touch it.

 

Jeepers! I used the death grip sometimes, but I don't think I would do it as long or as often as you because I never got the callouses and cuts you mentioned. Or maybe my death grip wasn't really that deadly - thankfully!

Anyway, I agree that this forum is not the place to discuss effective masturbation techniques. Even for those who decide to masturbate a little later on, talking about fleshlights etc is not helpful to those who are trying to abstain.

 

Well i found this thread to be helpful, Many of us struggle with Pied related to porn addiction and masturbation especially the deathgrip. For those of us who want to discuss the issue of the deathgrip and its relationship with porn its very helpful.

Many of the issues we have are different from person to person for many reasons, you may not agree with this thread but for some of us its helpful in our long term recovery.

Im here to discuss all areas of the effects of porn and masturbation. and to help each other in our recovery of individual effects.

Its so simplistic to say to put everyone in the same bucket. if we arnt here to discuss difference of opinions and techniques to stop porn being an issue in our lives. We may as well just get a book and use it as a bible.
I for one am abstaining from all forms of masturbation but many may choose not to.

If this is the wrong place to talk about PIED and the effects of masturbation then i do apologize

 

I disagree, many of us suffer from death grip and a thread about it is necesary. I healed my death grip by abstaining from masturbation however we can't all abstain for ever and if we decide to masturbate it's better to do it in a way it won't reduce your sensitivity. For example by using condoms,lubricant and a very light grip.
