Loss of interest or something more?
For the past year or so I've noticed a huge drop in my sex drive. Im 21 so this really shouldnt be happening. I dont know if distraction is to blame or if there is an underlying issue. Im not even sure if its so much a loss of interest, I'm always on the prowl but when I get intimate with someone Ill be like a rock, lose focus and then not be hard enough to get it in. Ive noticed a slight loss of sensitivity, so its generally harder to keep it up, and my balls are probably nowhere near as sensitive as the next guys. however Im uber sensitive after I ***. Had some pain in my balls/groin area but havent noticed any strange bumps. It isnt unbearable, almost a slight discomfort. My insurance just expired due to it being military so I dont really want to see a doctor without that coverage when they normally dont have an answer to my issues the first time around... Anyone in the medical field out there have some advice?
basically it comes down to this
Loss of interest in someone I find attractive
Find it hard to reach a climax when I want to
discomfort in groin/testicular area, no bumps, can sometimes feel a fleeting spasm
cant keep it up when I really need it
I will masterbate frequently on my own, at least twice a day.

Comparatively it seems strange that many of those men in the other forum stated watching porn for hours up on hours when I spend as little as ten minutes watching it per day. So I dont necessarily think porn is the cause here, however anxiety does seem more like a critical factor as social anxiety has always been an issue. Although nothing seems exciting lately, reaching a climax through porn seems to be a longer process than normal, theres no concentration, no stimulation rather.
Is there a medical diagnosis for sexual anxiety? If thats what it comes down to. Like I said Im currently without insurance so seeking medical help would be a last resort especially if there is nothing they can do or prescribe to help with the issue.
Everything was fine up until a few weeks ago when some testicular discomfort started to coincide with these issues.

Now I cant see any refrence to porn for a start?
But if I was you cut out the masterbating for the next 2 months, but also in this get layed if you can and let that be your only sexual outlet, forget playing with yourself and just let somebody else do it, but be patient, it will be a time for things to get better and they will, if you cant do that get yourself some boxing gloves to go to bed with, and try anthing that keeps your hands away from your ****.
Good luck.

Except for the pain, all your other symptoms align perfectly with porn-induced sexual dysfunction.
At age 21, if you don't have a serious medical condition, the causes of your copulatory ED are almost certainly anxiety or porn—or a combination of the two. Here's a simple comparison test to check for porn-induced ED:
1. Masturbate to your favorite porn.
2. Try to masturbate using no porn and no fantasy - only sensations. Masturbate with same speed and pressure as you would during intercourse.
Compare one and two. How erect was your penis? How long did it take you to reach orgasm? What was your level of excitement? A healthy young man should have no trouble attaining a full erection and masturbating to orgasm without porn or fantasy.
1. If you have a strong erection on #1, but problems on #2, then you have porn-induced ED.
2. If #2 is strong and solid, but you have trouble with a real partner, then you have anxiety induced ED
3. If you have problems during both 1 & 2, you may have severe porn-induced ED, or an organic problem. When in doubt, see a good urologist.
