Brief Answer:
Too much sensitivity of glans as per age or due to balanitis

Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Noted the history and understood the concerns.
As per the history you have provided you are 21 years, very young and hence very active.
In young the sensitivity of penis, particularly the glans increases a lot hence even touch will cause extra sensation whether you touch it or someone else touches it.
During intercourse you are mentally involved into different world, there may be good lubrication hence you do not feel the pain.
Yes, I would like to to the actual clear and focused photo of your penis and glans to see if there is any problem like balanitis or so.
Please post photos attached with this query.
Also provide any other relevant information like since when have you been having such a pain, since when are you active sexually, do you use condom and anything else you remember about things related to present problems.
Awaiting for photos and additional information.

Brief Answer:
Glans looks normal

Detailed Answer:
Thanks for photo and feedback.
Glans looks normal.
Folding of prepuce skin gives the appearance as in the photo.
Please post one more photo, clear and focused with prepuce pulled to cover the glans.
Do you have any symptoms at the moment ?
