Hi just#me,

While plenty of people orgasm during masturbation, plenty of people do not (in fact, if you take a peek at some other sections of the boards you'll see other people asking why masturbation isn't leading to orgasm for them). It can help to think of orgasm as one possible outcome, rather than the goal, of masturbation. When you say you feel nothing when you masturbate, do you mean you feel no pleasure at all? Or that you don't experience the sensations you think indicate an orgasm?
