is this unhealthy?
could there be something wrong?
how can i learn to masturbate?
You haven't given me enough information. You say you're "sexually active"; however, I don't know what you mean by this, nor what you mean by "I perform just fine sexually." I'm going to take stab at and guess that you're referring to penis-vagina sex with a partner. So you can have orgasms with p-v sex, but not with self-pleasuring or other forms of stimulation. Why is this a problem for you? Are you happy, or are you trying to fit into some stereotype of what you think you "should" be?
Perhaps self-pleasuring isn't comfortable for you. After all, many people receive negative messages about touching themselves. And perhaps the intimacy of oral sex is also problematic? I don't know the answers--only you do.
Think about whether you get anxious being sexual in any other way besides p-v and what you think contributes to that. This will help you to further understand yourself. Dr. J
