Not Aroused

Unread post by everpresent »

This is a bit of a stupid question, but is it normal to not feel really aroused when you masturbate? I don't know if it's a mental or physical block, but I never seem to feel what people have told me I should feel when I attempt to masturbate.

The intensity of arousal can vary for one person from day to day, depending on a bunch of factors. But: when you try to masturbate, are you first feeling mentally aroused, strongly wanting to be sexual in some way? The brain is actually one of the most important sexual organs, and if you aren't in a mindset of very much wanting to masturbate, then physically, it isn't likely to feel good or even like much at all.

If you're not sure what arousal generally feels like, this piece should help clear that up: Sexual Response & Orgasm: A Users Guide
