It is difficult to say if there is any damage to your penis. Clearly you need to see a urologist to have things checked out. usually the loss of interest and sometimes the difficulty getting an erection is because you are having the lack of sensation. When that problem is solved the desire usually comes back. It's a good idea to be careful during masturbation and not rub your penis on a hard surface or bend it too roughly. These can cause some problems. Usually these situations can be treated so it's important to see a urologist and get their opinion. Good luck. Hope that answers your question. Dr. Stan Ducharme
