I used to take ssris for three months at the start of 2011.
Thankyou for your advice. I will book a therapist.

Given that it was back in 2011 I doubt the SSRI's are the problem then. Usually any anorgasmia is over as soon as you stop taking them. So I'm leaning in the direction of masturbation. You don't have to stop completely, just back down. Also, I hadn't really thought about it, but stress might be playing into it as well, talking to the therapist might help with this, but you might be developing anxiety and that could be holding you back.
I think the reason the majority of people are classified into a category is just because of polls, lists and, to be honest, people not being completely honest. For example; I fall neatly into the straight category, no bisexual interests at all, but my wife, she's a little more complicated.
My wife likes to watch two women have sex and thinks it's hot. But she would never be interested in trying it herself. Incidentally, she doesn't like watching two men together.
So if we drew a line with gay on one end, bisexual in the middle and straight on the other end, I would be dead on the straight end, but my wife would be moved a little toward the bisexual middle ... but not very far. Our neighbor on the other hand would actually be a little moved from the bisexual toward the gay end, but not enough to be gay, just leaning a little more toward being a lesbian.
It's all very individual and not so neatly categorized as those polls and lists would make it seem. In my opinion, the key is to be comfortable with yourself. As you work through this, then fitting into any category won't matter, you're just you and that's good enough for anyone.
