It is really important for you to have a full medical check up. If there is no reason for this physically, it would be very wise for you to talk to a therapist about why you think this is happening. Please do not despair. I have seen again and again that the "talking cure" --- some really sound conversation in a therapist's office can be so helpful. I wish you so well and know that this can be solved. Make that first step --- a doctor's appointment.

Not knowing the specifics, it is difficult to say. Do you have diabetes? Heart disease? Are you taking anti-depressants? Do you smoke a lot of marijuana? Do you drink a lot? All of these effect your body's ability to create blood flow to your genitals.

But please keep in mind that orgasms can be created simply by breathing. So no matter what your health or ability, you can enjoy a rich and rewarding sex life . . . if you are willing to explore your mental and emotional realities.

So the next question is of course, were you ever sexually abused or raped? Have you had negative sexual experiences? If not, then how about your religious background? Is there sexual shame at work?

Since I don't know if you are masturbating or having partnered sex, I can't shed much light on your question but I hope my questions have helped you to explore the topics which will bring you closer to an answer.

Of course if you care to expand your query with more details I will be able to assist you further.
