I think you're going to have to just wait things out. The penis is the most sensitive part of a man's body, obviously, and once again, obviously, the head is the most sensitive part. The foreskin is the most sensitive part of the head, so when it is removed you'll probably have issues for a while, considering how recent the circumcision was.
So, in other words, you just had the most sensitive part of your body removed by way of cutting it off, why shouldn't it be sensitive?
I know this will sound crazy, but if it is swelling, take some Midol. The reason it works for women is because it is an anti-inflammatory and it calms the uterine muscles. It is also sometimes prescribed for dental surgery and tongue piercings, and as someone who has had both, I can tell you it works wonders even for that.

First, relax. Then grit your teeth and remove the plaster. I think you are spot on with the friction theory. It will take a few more days to heal, add on one or two from the band-aid. Since you are circumcized, you may not be aware that the head of the penis is not skin, but rather is mucus membrane (like the skin inside your mouth). When you are cut, the membranes dry out and become what is basically scar tissue. Either way, it is very thin and it is easy to tear and abrade the surface, causing the exact situation you describe. The plus side of this is a quick recovery (unless you have a chronic condition that interferes with healing). An antibiotic cream or even just some vaseline will speed things along. Because the membrane is so thin, the plaster will also tear and abrade, and you may even develop a rash from the glue or latex. If you have any clean, white cotton briefs--that would be my first choice. Otherwise clean fabric is fine. You may have trouble keeping your hands (or your girl) off of your penis until it heals. If you will use lots of lube--and tell her to play nice--you should be okay. Now, about rubbing your dick on jeans...ow! Enjoy

Sorry dude. That's what happens. In about six weeks it will be a little easier. In a few months it will be a lot better. There is really nothing to help it. Your penis has to get used to not having the skin over the head to protect it. The head will get a more rough feeling and will become less sensative. This is one of the bad side effects of geting circumsized.

I know your not telling...but I heard dudes get circumcised because it's more sexually satisfying for a man/guy. So at least by the 'sensitivity' your feeling is a good sign. And look on the bright side, how good sex will be when your better or older(if your too young for sex). When my fiance's "boys" are bugging him he usually wears boxer shorts, lets them breath. What did the doc say to do?
Surely he wouldn't have cut off your foreskin and sent you out the door on your merry way?
He must have given you some painkillers or advise on what to do when your experiencing discomfort? If not I'd be calling him A.S.A.P. to get the info you need!

Sorry to say but thats what you get when you mess with nature. A guy at work got it done when he was 18 and he said it hurt for about 2 months. Sex still isn't as good as before when he was natural. The head will stop being so sensitive after about 3 months he said because the nerves in the glans start to die and the skin gets hard so you aren't as sensitive.

It's going to take time for the head to become de-sensitized. I mean your hood was removed, protective cover gone. Just hang in there, you'll get used to it. (and really there was no pun intended, I only meant it as a figure of speech)

Guys talk about wearing a bandage and keeping it constrained in briefs or something so it doesn't move against clothing. It will be uncomfortable for a few weeks at least. Don't be tempted to try and masturbate or have sex for at least six weeks, maybe two months. Swelling can last six months.

Be happy thats all you are suffering from. Some men have serious problems when this is done later in life.
Wash w/ warm water, no soap. Applying petroleum jelly (such as Vaseline) liberally to raw areas. Dont wear anything tight. And take some Tylenol or motrin

This is totally normal. Get yourself a penis health creme called Man1 Man Oil and use it every day. Not only will it help keep the area extra-clean (this is very important when recovering from a circumcision), but it will condition and moisturize your penis skin, which will lead to desensitization. Tons of guys use this creme for this exact reason. You can get it online. Hope this helps and good luck.

There is antibiotic cream with pain relief available - Neosporin or store brands. If you don't wear briefs, you might buy a pair to behave like a jock strap for a few days. didn't anybody bother to tell you recovery time and behavior like they do with vasectomy??
