Thanks for writing in with your question and concern. What you are experiencing is not terribly uncommon for young men. Masturbating as frequently and regularly as you describe, it makes sense that you are experiencing less sensation and reach orgasm more rapidly. The body works on basic principles of conditioning. That means that your body will get used to things you do regularly and over long periods of time. Part of this conditioning for you might also be the sense that your body is just releasing and it gets it over with quickly. Another way to look at it is this: if you ate Snickers bars as often as you masturbated, they wouldn't be anything special; certainly not what you would consider a treat... You might even say that your body developed a tolerance for your orgasms; certainly a tolerance for the stimulating effects of the adult material you're watching. Tolerance also means that as your body becomes used to something, it requires more and more in order to achieve the same effects. Try giving yourself a rest and pleasure yourself less frequently for the next few weeks (or not at all). You can also try to pleasure yourself but withold ejaculation. After doing this a few times, you should experience an increase in both force and sensation of your ejaculation. If you find that it is difficult for you to stop masturbating for while, especially for a few days, you might want to consider speaking with a qualified sex therapist that can help you look at this. In all liklihood, there is no physical problem (ie, uneven blood flow in your penis)that is behind this. It would more likley be something behavioral and emotional.
I hope this was of some help to you and I wish you well in moving through this. Please feel free to write in again if you would like additional information. Take care and be well.
