I have never Masturbated (is it normal)

[bloatedsnake37]

I have been sexually aroused by females. I have even had dreams of such. However, I have never had the inclination to masturbate. When I try to do so, I never succeed. I just can't get in the mood. Also worth noting, when a female would start to get close to me, in terms of wanting a relationship potentially, my stomach would start to hurt. I tend to feel bloated and have to burp up a lot of air. I don't know if it is nerves or what not. Before you ask, I have never had sexual interest in those of the same sex (males). Maybe (subconsciously) I am not comfortable being in relations with others. I've been trying to figure myself out.
I always hear/read how many people masturbate all the time to any picture/semblance of attractive members of the opposite sex. Yet, here I am, never having dated a female nor having masturbated. I feel weird because of it, like I'm not normal. It could be mental issues too (not being good at socializing, going on tangents, etc.) I'm not sure. Could it be a matter of intelligence? Does intelligence level correlate to the capacity to feel such arousal? Maybe the smarter you are, the less interested (and maybe more disgusted) you are with sexual activity?
What would you say about this? Is this the right forum to ask this question?

Don't judge yourself.  People are different.  I'm kind of the opposite of you, I'm surprised by how many people on the internet seem to have such a focus on their masturbation life and so little on actual relationships with real people.  People have very different sex drives, and are aroused by different things.  I'm guessing you're pretty young, so being nervous about approaching a woman is the norm.  Women are nervous too.  Even with all the changes we've been through in my life with romance, it still appears that most of the time for young people the guy is still the one expected to make the first move, so there's some pressure there.  But once you get going, hey, it stays hard.  Nobody likes rejection.  But you'll do it when it's your time to do it.  I can tell you, I never masturbated or thought about it until my first sexual relationship broke up, and I don't remember anyone back in those days ever talking about masturbation.  Some people never do it.  Some can't stop doing it.  We're just different, and your only job is to be the best you possible, not to be what somebody else thinks is the way to be.  Peace.
