There's a whole bunch of questions here, that you may wish to consider, some of which might seem a bit pointless, new age, or touchy feely, but bear with me:
1. You say 'should be' - how do you know?
- Are you measuring against, film, porn, your mates, your partner (m or f), or your own masturbation?
2. Intercourse is a subtle act, despite the Rambo style porn out there.
- every person is different
- despite the common perception that 'tight' is good, it's what feels good, is good, and that might be any number of things:
- physical, emotional, situational, psychological
3. If sex is bland, why bother? Worse, if you're bothering, to not upset your partner, what's in it for you?
- you're absolutely right, sex can be a stairway to heaven, for some people, but then so can religion, charity work,
scoring a touhdown, or whatever
- if it isn't, for you, then it isn't
4. Watch 'Everything you always wanted to know about sex' - Woody Allen
- the scene with the wife that is frigid, until they discover that she gets her hots doing it in public places
- if you've ever had thrilling, mind exploding, genitals exploding sex, then you've found that trigger
- if you haven't, then maybe it isn't such a big deal for you, or maybe you just haven't found the trigger
5. Sex is emotional.
- you say 'my partner and I'
- if you really wanted sex, it would be a big issue for you
- the way you say it, makes it sound more of an issue for your partner
- if you 'love' him/her, but they don't turn you on, that isn't wrong about you, or them, either or both of you, but it is just so
6. Sex is psychological
- if you get majorly turned on by the idea of sex, or by your partner, to the tune of rip their clothes off, or is it just a thing?
- if it's rip your clothes off, but only the ejaculation, orgasm that is weak, that's another issue
- it's a catch 22, if you're not focused on what's happening to your penis, you're not goin to notice when the sensations build
- if you focus, measure, monitor your penis, that's hardly a turn on either
- orgasm is a form of feedback cycle - stimulation, noticing the stimulation, appreciating it, which feeds back because the more you notice how good it feels, the more your genitals respond, and the better it feels ...
- kill the loop with disinterest, distraction, or just not being there, and you can have an entire cheerleader team there to no effect
7. Bottom line, I'd go with your first statement:
- you're a 24yr old male, in great health.
- you can explore all you like, emotionally, physically, psychologically, and you'll learn more about yourself
- self-knowledge is both a tool, and a passion, that is another feedback loop, driving your life forward
- honour yourself, honour your partner, and honour your relationship, and that includes not forcing any of those into a mould
Hint: I'm old enough to have experienced just about every possible range of orgasm in myself, and in my partner, and I can tell you among other things, that there are some people that you can't turn off, and some you can't turn on, and most of us live somewhere in the middle. More to the point, there are many reasons to be with someone, and sexual compatibility, while important, is only one aspect.
Last thought: if you make this an issue, or make a mountain out of it, this will kill your passion, on top of whatever else you may discover or decide. You might try to have a chat with your partner (and yourself) along these lines:
'you know, I think we've both noticed that I'm not exactly a fire hydrant waiting to explode, and you know what, thinking back, it's never been a big deal for me, but I do enjoy what we do together, and I do enjoy the pleasure that you take from it, even if we're different.'
And be prepared to assert your own identity: mismatched is not wrong, until it's wrong to be mismatched. A partner saying 'I want you to come with me' to prove that you're 'together' is just adding pressure. We're all built differently. Appreciate it an dwork with it.
Take care,
Andrew

I am in the same position as you (except I am 21).. but I haven't ever really had a pleasurable ejaculation. I have something called a varicocele and I thought that was the problem, but since an op., apparently not. I am never really turned on anymore. No one seems to know anything

what an idiotic statement that guy with all the points gave. my lack of feeling is caused by a brain injury and it is awful. i cna't get erections except through manual stimulation and then i cant feel anything except the contractions when i orgasm. it sucks.
