You probably can't be intimate with somebody because you're afraid of being rejected. Feelings like this often (but not always) stem from early childhood. Maybe your mum or dad didn't fully accept you, for whatever reason. Or maybe you were humiliated by a girlfriend in the past.
It's likely that your fear of rejection isn't purely related to sex. Am I correct in thinking that you find it hard to open up to friends and family as well? That you find it hard to ever really be yourself?
Whatever the cause, this fear of intimacy is clearly making you very unhappy and I'd strongly recommend that you go see a good counselor. My thoughts are with you. Get in touch with me if you want to talk some more.
Thanks. You are totally correct, and I am already seeing a counsellor. Even so, its not easy to deal with the issue, and I kind of just have to wait until it unravellls itself...
