Worried about masturbation
Posted: Fri Apr 02, 2021 6:00 am
Im 17 years old and ive been on an SSRI medication since i was 11 years old. I have never felt sexually aroused and im kind of worried about it.
I have tried to masturbate but I can't get aroused, i've tried watching porn and reading stuff but it doesnt really do much for me. I think im mentally aroused but i can't get my body to match up with that. I have tried touching myself and it doesnt really feel like anything or sometimes clitoral stimulation feels uncomfortable and unpleasant.
I am hoping to get off my medication in about a month but im kind of worried that my problems are not caused by the medication. Ive researched it alot and i think around 90% of women on this medication experience some sort of sexual side effect but i was off the medication for about 2 months and I didnt notice any changes but i didnt really try anything during that time.
Im also not really sure how to get aroused physically or what it feels like. And im worried that my clitoris isnt as sensitive as it should be. Is clitoral stimulation supposed to feel good even when youre not aroused and how sensitive is it when youre not aroused.
Ive also seen things about long term sexual side effects after stopping SSRI's and I know that it is rare and unlikely but i am concerned about it.
I definitely have an interest in having sex and masturbating i just cant get aroused and i dont really have an interest in porn, it feels uncomfortable and wrong to watch.
Sorry this is kind of all over the place I just have alot of things im worried about.
