Glad to hear you're still in the gene pool buddy. :)

First year med student here. It indeed seems you are really lucky! There are basically two big sets of nerves that innervate the penis; one of them is responsible for erection (parasympathetic division of nervous system), and the other is responsible for BOTH touch sensation and ejaculation (various branches of the pudendal nerve). So it seems really lucky that you lost touch sensation but can still ejaculate! I have two questions:

  1. Have you taken a fertility test? I ask because the nerves that innervate the scrotum (posterior scrotal nerves) are also a branch of the pudendal nerve and may have been damaged. I'm totally unsure of whether this can lead to infertility, but I'm curious to know.

  2. Can someone with more medical knowledge than I possess tell us how the sensory division of the pudendal nerve could be damaged but the ability to ejaculate remains?

I knew all there was to know about the penis BEFORE I started medical school, especially when it comes to...practical applications. ;)
