Does Depression Have Any Effect On Masturbation?

Does depression have any effect on masturbation? I am 20 and I've been feeling lonely since I can remember. That being said, I've never had a normal masturbation. I start feeling numbness or itching, generally it doesn't feel good and I never ejaculate. After about half an hour I simply give up. Ejaculation only happens in my sleep and it happens roughly once per week. Could this be a psychological problem that may disappear if I get a partner or should I visit a doctor?
