cant finish during masturbation (girls)

Title basically says it allI've found what feels good, and turns me on, but after about 5 mins nothing happens and any built-up tension goes away (I sorta get bored when although it feels good down there nothing else changes)I figured I'd try to figure out what I like before attempting that stuff with someone elseany advice

Maybe you're doing it too often, so it takes more effort to release that same climactic dose of dopamine in your body as it did the first time.
You'd be really quick if you finished in five minutes, and it sounds like you're pressuring yourself which can affect it as well. The average time to reach orgasm for women is about twenty minutes, maybe try going longer.

Yeah that's the thing, I usually go for about 30 minutes, and it's good for the first 5-10, then after that, it's sorta tedious

Yeah but I've never reached it at all, ever. And I only do it 2x a week max
i think maybe you should try finding a different method that you find enjoyable, maybe try your clit or your g spot and give it a go, mix and match to se what works, maybe involve your nipples too that could also help with pleasure
Some people do have that experience of masturbation, and it can be normal - I wouldn't force yourself to keep going if you're not enjoying it. Being super stressed about not orgasming or not "doing it right" is often a recipe for not having a good time, too.
There's some good advice here https://www.scarleteen.com/article/sexuality/sexual_response_orgasm_a_users_guide and here https://www.scarleteen.com/article/bodies_sexuality/how_to_have_your_first_orgasm_a_primer_for_cisgender_women :smile:
