Hi there!

When you talk about not feeling anything, do you mean it doesn't feel pleasurable or turn you on? If so, then I wonder what you're thinking or feeling when you try masturbating. That's because pleasure is actually less about what's going on with your genitals and more about what's going on in your mind than most people think.

If you're wanting to make masturbation a more pleasurable experience, a lot of that is about slowing down and tuning into your own desires and how different things feel for you, rather than touching yourself in a specific way. For example, a lot of people with vulvas assume that what feels good is going to be playing with insertion into their vagina, but actually it's far more common to get a lot of pleasure from external stimulation.
