Aa
Is my VAGINA broken? (no libido and barely any sexual sensation)
Sorry for the click bait there folks, just trying to get your attention.
So first things first. Background info:
I'm a 19 year old female. I started taking prozac (up to 60mg per day) when i was 14 until about last summer where i switched to celexa (up to 30mg per day). i had mental health issues and still do but not nearly as bad. i have not taken any antidepressants for almost 2 months to see if it was the cause of my basically non existent libido and inability to have an orgasm. but I'm also taking birth control which i know could potentially have impact on it as well.
okay i am aware that i am still young and exploring my sexuality and so on but i don't believe that is causing the difficulties. i know sex (penetration) doesn't always have the best chance at achieving orgasm especially if you're not as experienced but i have tried a bunch of different positions and have not felt basically any sexual pleasure. which then comes to masturbation. i've tried everything the internet has to offer without using sex toys. and yes i am comfortable with my body and in my enironment. lets picture the path to achieving an orgasm is like going up a flight of 50 stairs. 50 being orgasm. for me its like i go up 5 stairs and then i go back 1 stair then i go up 3 stairs then i go back down 2 stairs so much so that i only have ever made it to stair 30 after an hour of trying then giving up due to being physically exhausted. i also rarely ever get horny (like maybe once a month whereas my boyfriend is like 3 times a day) and if i do i can generally turn it off. ive never experienced a orgasm and its not cool if its the best feeling in life and I'm unable to experience it. im just frustrated and sad because its not like I'm old. I'm supposed to be in my prime right now. if anyone could share insight on this issue that would be amazing. thanks

Hi,
Birth control can put a damper on libido for many women, but there are other factors that can also play a role. Any illness, depression, medications, psychological issues, hormone levels, and low thyroid function or thyroid disease can have a direct negative affect on sex drive. Have you ever spoke with your doctor about this? If not, consider making an appointment to speak with your doctor about having your hormone levels and thyroid checked (by blood tests), to see if these have anything to do with it. You might also want to research female sexual dysfunction (primary anorgasmia or orgasmic dysfunction) for more information. I hope you find an answer soon :) Good Luck!
