For the last 2 - 3 years, Iīvee been suffering from CPPS (Chronic pelvic pain syndrome). It has symptoms similar to prostatitis, but it is non-bacterial. Basically it means that my pelvis is almost always tense or in slight pain (feels like burning and needles). It also means I have practically no sex drive, numb penis and painful erections. Sex and masturbation often hurts and the feeling of orgasm is drastically reduced. Ejaculation often hurts a lot and my pelvis might be extra sore for a day or two after it.
Doctors have no idea whatīs going on, but Iīm pretty sure itīs an issue of muscle tension/soreness. When I get anxious the symptoms get a lot worse. Also, the symptoms tend to cause stress and anxiety on their own. When I try to have sex/masturbate I notice my pelvic muscles start to klench involuntary (I guess you could call it a kegel) and after 5 minutes it starts to burn, like overworked or sore muscles. There is mostly no pleasure, only numbness and pain. As much as I try, I have not been able to stop the klenching, it is such an automatic reaction.
So, I think that Iīm starting to become a pretty much asexual person because of this. I might think about masturbation, but remember that it mostly just hurts or stop because I donīt feel anything after 20 minutes. I donīt mind it that much, but sometimes I remember what it was like to feel a strong sex drive and that is rather depressing.
Anyone have similar experiences?
