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.

I think many people find themselves in your situation - where something that was perfectly fine doesn't seem to get us to orgasm anymore - or at least right now. You say nothing has changed, and that may be true - you may just be so used to the "same 'ol same 'ol" that your body wants a break. I would not panic or be deeply concerned, but being looking for other ways to turn yourself on - maybe take a break and see what happens, or add sexual images to your sex play. Enjoy!
