Depression
I am a 29 year old male who has noticed a significant decrease in penis sensation over the years. In fact, I really do not feel anything until about 30 seconds before I ejaculate. In order to get that far I need lots of oral sex with a strong hand grip going up and down from the female.
It has lessened my desire for sex and has destroyed some of my relationships. I wonder if there is a problem or if what I am experiencing is normal sexual sensations. If so, I can't even understand why...

I am happily married, however my husband has no interest. We have been married for six years, and haven't had sex in over a year. I have done a psych self exam about my weight, attitude, and sought advice of many others. I am in my forty's and am really very interested in sex. However-- my husband, who is 45 seems less than interested. Please advise--

Depression
I am much more interested in sex than my husband. It causes problems in our marriage because I feel he doesn't love me as much because he rejects my advances more often than not.
To compensate, I masterbate fairly frequently. We have been married 14 years and have a 4 year old and a 9 month old. I get less sleep by far than he does and yet he still uses the too tired excuse, among others, on a regular basis.
If it weren't for the kids and the fact that he is truly a good man, I'd...

Hi Dr. Turndorf,
First I will give you a little background of my life. I suffer from OCD and Anxiety Disorders. I am 27 years old, and have only been on medication for about 4 years. However, while the medication has been effective, my symptoms have been 95% stopped for only the last 6 months. I have had a couple of girlfriends, but nothing that has lasted. It took several years to find a medication combination that worked this well.
So, I am not very experienced with dating. I am...

Depression
I'm not so happy with what's happening between me and my gf (girlfriend), and kinda stuck, and don't know whose fault it is, or is it normal between us.
But I guess I'll just lay it out here so you might be able to help me with a suitable solution. Here goes:
I've been in love with my girlfriend for a year. We both live and work in Australia. Her family is in the US. I care a lot about my gf, and I suppose that's what people do when they are in love. I'm...

Depression
Dr. Love- 13. 5 years ago I fell in love with a girl. After 6 months, she ended the relationship abruptly. I spent a month begging and pleading to try and get her back. I spent the next 3 months in the worst state of depression I've ever felt. Since that break-up 13 years ago, there have been a couple times where she has come back to my mind and in both cases the result was a depression that lasted a couple days to a week. Recently, the 3rd such instance has occurred and has left me in a state...

Depression
As a child, I had no problems falling asleep. Now, I become exhausted after 3 days because of the inability to fall asleep. I have suffered with insomnia for at least 20 years. I have no stamina to speak of and would feel so much better if I could get away from benzodiazepines to fall to sleep. Even with the pills, I wake up 2-3 times each night. I also have Degenerative Disk Disease and have prayed for several years for healing for both problems. I've also been told that there are 'faith-...
