Short answer
Some people notice temporary numbness after a long or very intense session, and sensation typically returns after a rest. This isn't generally considered a cause of lasting harm. Varying intensity, starting on lower settings and taking breaks can help. If numbness is persistent, appears without toy use, or comes with other symptoms, check in with a clinician.
