Can repeated use of a dildo cause nerve damage?
January 20, 2008
Are there nerves within the walls of your anus that you can damage? I use a nicely sized dildo almost daily (if not more) on myself, I don't put in very deep, maybe 3"-4" 5" at the very most. For sometime now I have had this numbing kinda tingly feeling in my left leg after I use the dildo and also get the feeling sometimes on my side just above my hip. Is this a serious problem? I still continue to use the dildo because I love it, it's an addiction almost but I am kind of worried about the numbness, am I safe to continue or should I have it checked out?
There are nerves in the outer parts of your rectum, but once you're inside there are no nerves. It doesn't sound like you have any sort of nerve damage in any case. I find that idea to be unlikely. I asked Doc Goldstone about it, and he suggested that you may have a slipped or herniated disc in your spine. See your doctor about it, and see what he suggests. Your dildo is not likely aggravating your condition, but you'd hate your back to go out on you when you're not expecting it.
