I don't know what to do about this. I'm a virgin, due to some mental health issues I have preventing me from talking to people, especially romantically. And honestly, I would prefer to do it with someone I really like anyways, not just some one night stand.
I want to put it out there that there is no way I can have sex right now. I'm just in no condition mentally to even socialize properly. It's off the table.
But my body is completely rejecting this idea, as if I could really do anything about it. I masturbate regularly, daily if not more, to satiate my urges. But it barely even brings me actual pleasure anymore. I feel like I've tried every trick in the book (toys, edging, erotic literature...). It does not work.
It's getting to the point I keep having dreams about sex, usually with the same themes. They aren't wet dreams yet but I feel like they're very close. And honestly, when they're one after another, it is annoying to clean up.
Making it a goal to address your mental health issues such that you can have an intimate relationship may be your most direct path here. And consider that plenty of people get into relationships while having mental issues. Doesn't mean its a great idea, but its been done plenty of times and may be worth scratching the itch despite the other negative consequences.
Try masturbating less frequently, you're giving yourself too much of a good thing and becoming desensitized. More infrequent stimulation will be more satisfying. I would also recommend cutting out pornography if possible.
Channel your frustration into exercise, art, some hobby or activity, business idea etc. Your sex drive will stabilize over time and you'll be productive along the way.

I'm sorry to hear that. Seems beyond the internets ability to assist with then.
