Penile Bumps And Sex

Living with penile bumps can be emotionally uncomfortable, especially when engaging in sexual activity. While having these skin growths does not necessarily mean that one is infected with a sexually transmitted disease, it does leave a partner to wonder what may be causing the growths if they are noticed. Also, many who have the mysterious bumps may also wonder how sex may be different or if the sensation will be altered. Many of these men will be satisfied in knowing that this skin disorder is benign and will not cause any ongoing health problems.

How Sex is Affected

Sexual activity will most likely remain the same. Satisfaction is more dependent on the ability for two people to connect, so keeping an open dialogue between partners will help to enhance the sexual experience for both parties. When both partners understand that these papules are not contagious and do not mean that a sexual disease is present, sex can remain a pleasant and necessary part of a relationship.

Depending on the degree to which the penile head is affected, some men may experienced heightened sensation around the area. This may become uncomfortable, especially after forceful and repeated thrusting. If the area becomes sore, it is best to discontinue penetration to avoid further pain or injury.

Will the Papules be Felt By My Partner During Sex?

Because most men who have this skin issue have papules that are small, most women will not have a sensitive enough vaginal lining to sense the raised tissue around the head of the penis. If manual stimulation to the penis is practiced between partners, it is possible that the sensation of raised skin will be felt, but unless one is directly interested in rubbing the raised areas, it most likely will not be noticed.

What Causes This Skin Issue?

Pearly penile papules have an unknown etiology, meaning that physicians and researchers are not sure what the underlying cause is. While it is widely accepted that those with uncircumcised penises will be more prone than those that have gone through circumcision, understanding the root cause is still under investigation.

Suggestions for Treatment

For those men that are concerned that their penile bumps are causing a rift in their sex lives, a trip to a licensed medical care provider can help. Many physicians can offer ways to approach the subject with sexual partners or offer treatment options that can remove the papules. While it isn’t a necessity to have the skin growth removed, oftentimes this may be the best way to help men deal with their condition.
