Question:
I'm a virgin, and have been masturbating externally (clitorally) for years now, with perfectly satisfying orgasms. Recently, though (since just about over a month), I have been having problems reaching orgasm, which has just left me unsatisfied. Nothing's really changed in my life since this happened, so it's not a reaction to something in my life. I'm looking for a frank answer as to why you think that I might be having problems reaching orgasm. Thanks.

It may be difficult to know for sure what it is but it is very possible that you may need more erotic stimulation, and as you said yourself on your form that your mind and body may just be getting bored. Sex is no different than any other behavior that we repeat frequently. It can get boring or routine-like. It may not be that you need to change the physical stimulation of the clitoris but you may need to enhance your erotic fantasy within your mind. Maybe you need to create new fantasies, or find yourself new places in which to masturbate. Also you may want to change your rituals like bathing or showering, music, candles and anything else you do to enhance the atmosphere for yourself. With a little bit of change and excitement you will probably have fulfilling orgasms soon! Please feel free to write back and talk about this again if you would like.
