Re: no sensation when masturbating
How about when you exercise? One tool used for kids with hyposensitivity is "heavy work" - anything that involves moving with or against resistance. As you get older, different kinds of exercise or physical work can provide additional sensory input - and lots of people get a kind of rush from exercise.

Re: no sensation when masturbating
I really only go on runs for excercise, I don't like how anything else makes me feel. (other than swimming but I haven't been able to go swim for a few years.)

Re: no sensation when masturbating
What a bummer about the swimming!
Would it be helpful for us to try and brainstorm other kinds of "heavy work" that you could try?

Re: no sensation when masturbating
Maybe? Wouldn't hurt to try, though my options for what I can actually do are limited, so there's no guarantee I'll be able to do any of it.

Re: no sensation when masturbating
Hey again Crow -- can you clarify what you mean by that? Do you have any limitations of your physical mobility, or are you not sure what kind of physical activity you have space/equipment/etc to do? This will help us brainstorm some ideas with you.

Re: no sensation when masturbating
It's mostly an issue of space and equipment, though while I don't have an mobility issues I do get very exhausted quite easily at times which sometimes leads to fainting, so I wouldn't want to do anything that would push me too much.

Re: no sensation when masturbating
Hey there, Crow. I'm popping in to see if I can help here. I am all too familiar with mobility and fatigue challenges.
While I recognize some things might not be a good fit per overstimulation, I'm wondering if you might have access to sex toys or anyone who could access them for you?

Re: no sensation when masturbating
no unfortunately, I already discussed the idea with some others but I just wouldn't have a way to access them currently.

Hi Crow,
Heather likely has additional thoughts to share, but I was wondering if you've ever had the chance to look into exercise or movement resources designed for folks specifically with mobility or fatigue challenges?

Re: no sensation when masturbating
Not really, it hasn't been something that has interested me enough previously to look into it.

Re: no sensation when masturbating
Got it. Here are two that you could look into and see if they offer things that are workable in your situation: https://accessibleyoga.org/, https://sworkit.com/. The second one comes recommended by other folks with mobility challenges, so hopefully you could customize it to work for you.
