21 and no libido?

I'm 21 years old, and I have a problem. Before I explain - I know doctors and psychologists can help me a lot more than you can. Doctors are out of the question at the moment, and my psychiatric life is filled with other matters at the moment. I figure I'd vent and see if anyone else has dealt with this.

For reasons I'm trying to find, my ability to feel "horny" is gone. I can't think of a better way to explain it other than that. I masturbate about as regularly as I ever have.. on average it's about 5 times a week. Since January, I have been under a lot of stress that has also taken away my interest in many things. I'm really hoping this problem is due to the stress, because it's starting to bother me a lot. Whenever I see a provocative video or female image, I'm hardly phased. That is, I mentally don't get anything from it, but I can still work myself up to an erection and, ultimately, orgasm. When I take a week off from masturbating, I physically feel horny, but I still am not mentally attracted. Watching good porn used to get me going immediately.. even thinking about it or past girlfriends. Now, nothing works. I've tried all sorts of porn to see if something would get me going, and it's not doing anything.

I haven't felt any sharp pains in my groin area, though I have felt a little discomfort coming from my testicle area. It's not enough to get myself to a doctor, but I've noticed it. I also have noticed that I will frequently go to the bathroom. There are times when (I drink a ton of water) I will go to the bathroom 10+ times a day, though it's not always like that. I was considering that maybe my prostate is enlarged, so that's something I should talk to a doctor about.

Regardless, I'm so confused.. I feel like nothing turns me on.. if a girl walked in here and started flirting with me, I would get an erection and be able to have sex. But, the feeling is definitely not the same, anymore. The whole thing feels dulled.. much like with the rest of my life. I have been severely depressed before, however, and this was never an issue. This only became a problem a month ago, so I need to figure out what's up.

Does anyone have an opinion or advice? I struggle to go without masturbating longer than a week, so I'm not sure if that's considered an addiction or what. By the time I stretch it out that long, I become very physically horny, though the sexual images hardly turn me on.
