Why do you care?: If you do care, it may be relevant to the answer. Caring (not pointless) but not being excited, might be low libido (physical). I don't mean to hold you to your words, but they are all I have to work with. The pain part might be addressed by an obgyn (or sex therapist). The boredom by a sex therapist. The pointless by a psychotherapist. If you are asexual i'd think you just might not care.

Sex: Sexual desire can be affected by certain medications, sleep deprivation, certain medical conditions, poor nutrition, depression, anxiety and stress. Consult with a mental health professional who can help you uncover the source of your low desire and can help you work through whatever is troubling you. Best wishes.

Libido: Factors involved in the libido change include biological, psychological or social, or combination of those. First step is to rule out physical attributes by physical exam and workup by your pcp.
