Delayed ejaculation

[funceval]

I am not able to achieve an orgasm or ejaculate for the last 5 weeks. I masturbate for about 1-2min before I give up. Before this I used to orgasm within 5 minutes of starting masturbation sometimes even early. I masturbate prone. I dont know if I have delayed ejaculation problem. So my question is - How do you keep yourself motivated to keep masturbating even though there is no pleasure coming out of it? Also, does delayed ejaculation mean that you dont get any pleasure while you are masturbating and after sometime you get it and then orgasm?

Considering the change in how long it takes you to reach orgasm, I would say that you've decreased your sensitivity somewhat.

I don't have any experience with prone masturbation, but I'll operate under the assumption that it follows the same rules as "normal" masturbation.

Now time for a clarification: For men, orgasm and ejaculation normally occur at the same time, but that is not always the case. Can you still ejaculate? Sometimes you can masturbate and have a weak ejaculation, but no orgasm. Make sure you can distinguish between the two.

For starters, I'd say don't even try it until you're really charged up. This may take a few days, even a week or so. Doesn't matter. Don't try it just for the sake of trying, if you're not ready. Even for men, there is a psychological component to this (it's not just women), so pick an erotic book or have an erotic fantasy first.

Your definition of delayed ejaculation is correct: reduced pleasure and an increase in the time it takes to finish (or sometimes the inability to finish at all).

Any physical or psychological changes (like decreased libido) that you didn't post about?

No I am not able to ejaculate at all. I dont know if thats because I am not trying long enough as I give up after 1-2min. I just dont feel motivated to keep going. I have good libido because I have the urge to masturbate most of the time.

This could be a mental hang up since it's been 5 weeks and it's bothering you.

If the masturbation itself isn't generating any pleasure for you, it could be slight desensitization. How long have you been masturbating prone?

Outside of that, I am honestly stumped by your dilemma. Delayed ejaculation is usually caused by a physical loss of sensation or sometimes by a mental hang-up (ex. performance anxiety with a partner), but you didn't cite either. That's why I'm stuck, but someone with more experience with this kind of stuff may be able to help you further.

[funceval]

Performance anxiety is definitely there! I am very much worried if I will be able to perform with my partner. I havent had sex yet. I have been masturbating prone since 17 years.

I was thinking of performance anxiety in reference to delayed ejaculation during sex (not masturbation), but I guess it's possible that it's in the back of your head.

Considering how long you've been masturbating prone, I'd say that the problem is very recent.
