Hormone imbalance: Some birth control medication decrease libidos or sexual arousal. Adjusting the concentration ogf the medication can be an effective fix. Additional hormone levels may need to be evaluated. See your primary or ob/gyn and discuss it with them.

Sex at 17: Your info indicates you're only 17 years old. Sex at that age is likely to be accompanied by all kinds of anxieties which can affect how you experience intercourse. For instance, it can be hard to become naturally lubricated enough to enjoy intercourse, and if not it can be painful -- certainly interfering with pleasure. Please talk with your doctor about this, and about sex in general.

Try to determine why: There are many reasons
why sex may not be enjoyable. 1 reason may be that a female simply is not yet emotionally ready for sexual activity. 2nd reason could be that one feels dirty or guilty (this may be especially so if one has religious prohibitions). 3rd reason is STRESS. If your mind is on other things it can be hard to relax & to be spontaneous. A 4th (& really BIG reason) is a relationship
