Hello
Thanks for query .
Decreased sensation in penis with Erectile dysfunction and retention of urine strongly suggest pressure over sacral nerve due to Prolapsed Inter vertebral Disc that you have .
I would suggest you to consult qualified Neurosurgeon and to explore need for surgical decompression (Discoidectomy) to release the pressure over Sacral nerve.
This will help to get relief from symptoms .
