Hi, I am a 33 year male. My health situation is okay but I suffer from clinical depression. I have not got the intimacy with a woman for almost a decade. I have not had sex in last 8 years. All this while I have only indulged in masturbation. I am now in state of craving for female intimacy. What should I do?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Why are you not doing sex? If there is any problem in having sex then that could be due to anxiety or psychological reasons. This might also occur due to depression.
Kindly elaborate your symptoms for making a provisional diagnosis.
Thanks and Take care
