Why does my boyfriends Penis get sensitive during sex?

Hello,
So ive noticed recently that whenever me and my boyfriend have sex he gets really sensitive. It’s usually before he comes and he is uncircumcised. We get really into it and then he has to stop for a few minutes to let the sensitivity go away.
He feels embarrassed about it, so I tell him it’s okay but it would be nice to know what it is that’s causing him to become so sensitive!

I’ve googles stuff but I don’t know what to do to help him. We’ve even tried different positions but every time he becomes sensitive. He’s sensitive too after he comes but what does before mean???
In need of help please!!??

Every man enters a refractory period after sex when he cannot continue.

If I am understanding your description, this sounds normal.  A stimulated erect penis will get more sensitive as it nears the point of ejaculation.

Meaning???
So I googled your answer and it’s talking about after an orgasm. That doesn’t make sense in my case considering it’s before he ejaculates.

Do you mean pain sensitive, or just overwhelmingly sensitive?

Overwhelmingly sensitive. Like he will just freeze why he’s doing and  He says it doesn’t hurt but it’s just super sensitive.
