Why can't I feel my orgasm? Why do my testies hang lower than normal?

I am a 24y/o male and for about the last 5 to 10 years I have been sufforing from orgasmic anhedonia. I still find sex and masturbation pleasurable, I just don't feel the spectacular ending.

About 10 years ago I started to have weak orgasms and sometimes couldn't feel them at all.

In the last 5 years I have completely stopped feeling my orgasms but I can still feel my muscles in my pelvis pulsating with what should be a strong orgasm. I assume my brain is simply not getting the signals.

Originally I put it down to daily masturbation. I often had to resort to this to help curb chronic insomnia and it was also an outlet while battling depression. In the last year I've gone days and even a week without sex or masturbation however the problem does not disappear. I can't go longer in a dry spell because my sex drive is too high.

In the past few months I've also felt a light throbbing pain in my testies and notice my scrotum enlarged more than usual (eg. more than just being in a hot tub). The scrotum rarely retracts even when I'm cold.

These symptoms developed before I took anti depressants which only made them worse. I was on the AD's for only a month before quitting as a result of the increased symptoms.

I'm too embarrassed to see a doctor. Can someone give me an idea as to how to fix this or what I could possibly be suffering from?

Sorry, I'm afraid I can't give you a definite answer to this. Just my opinion, but I think whatever's causing the pain in your testicle could be contributing to this issue. But I think ultimately, you're going to need to see a Dr. who can examine you in person, determine if anything feels abnormal about the testicle, etc. You could start with your regular Dr. & then see a Urologist if it needs further follow-up. I know it's prbly gonna be a little embarrassing to discuss sexual matters w/ a Dr., but believe me, they know just about ALL guys at age 24 are going to have frequent sexual activity, including masturbation, which they regard as normal & healthy. They've heard just about everything, so there's very little chance they'd be embarrassed or judgmental about it. But you don't necessarily have to be specific about masturbation, just say "This is what happens whenever I'm involved in sexual activity" & leave it at that. This issue is of a sexual nature so there's no getting around it, so go ahead & make the appointment. I don't think you'll be able to get to the bottom of this without an actual Dr's exam, so just bite the bullet & do it - you'll be glad you did, I'm sure...
