Hello, thank you for messaging! I'm sorry to hear that you've been having trouble enjoying masturbation. The thing is, sexual pleasure has more to do with your what's going on with your brain, rather than with your body. That includes emotions, feelings, thoughts, etc., and it works differently for different people. If you're stressed during masturbation, or if you don't have privacy and are worried about someone walking in on you/interrupting, it can be hard to make it feel good. Also--you may just be accidentally putting pressure on yourself to feel pleasure/to climax, which definitely makes it harder to relax and let your body feel good. Do you relate to any of these points, or do you think something else may be causing the problem?

i think it is fear of being interupted possibly but i also think it might be technique
