Help with pleasure i guess..?

So uhm this is a bit weird for me to be writing about. But I just got fake nails, which means I really can’t y’know (masturbate) and I tried using safe objects (like a rounded tip of a makeup brush which isn’t used) but I felt no pleasure at all, and it even hurt. I was wet enough but I don’t know what’s wrong with me. Maybe it was too thick, but I don’t know what to do. I’m also a virgin and my bf and I really both aren’t ready to take that step. I’m WAY too scared to bring this up to my mom..does anyone have any advice...?
