We've been dating for over a yer now but in the last few months our sex has drastically decreased at first started to go down from at least 1-2 times a day for at least 5 months and then it went down to 1-2 times a week and then to 1-2 times a month and now it's been a month and a half since we've had sex. I've read a few articles about this allready, but none seem to fit my problem exactly. I was worried for a while that it might be me that was the problem and but he told me it wasn't and i know he wouldn't lie to me. I've asked him about it but he says theres nothing wrong. I just don't know what to do anymore. He's only a year older than me and he's suppose to be in hes prime. Is there anything I can do? I Haven't pressured him or anything because I dont want him to do it just to shut me up. I want him to want to. and I'm just not satistied anymore and im not asking for everyday, at this point once or twice a week would be nice. A far as I know there's nothing he's stressed about at work or school, could it be a cobination of the 2? or something else going on that I don't know about? and please keep in mind that im am searching for help and advice and I don't want to hear find a new boyfriend. I love him and im not leaving him, even if it means were not going to have sex anymore. But it's frustration for the time being as I find it a tad odd that I want it more than he does. and I don't really want to talk to any of my friends abotu it because I live in a small town and this is personal and I don't need everyone talking about it. and the last thing I want him to feel is embarassed. I havn't told anyone of my friends but I'm in need of some advice. Any Ideas?

Oh my lord I feel u! I have been stuggeling too :( such a bad feelin.
June 3, 2014 - 4:55amI been telling myself it is normal, at the first when 2 dating, guys always make the approach ,cuz you are "fresh"and "want to b discovered" , then by the times goes, the cursity gone less n less , he know everything abt u,I kno it sounds sad! Well at least to me..cuz to me , I think for most girls sex goes with the heart... But the reality is that most guys(ppl r different I mean) gets tired or lazy with the girl been together for a while , they just bein too comfortable , and at the same time, it doesn't mean that he doesn't love you. ... Simple, guys go hard watching porn , even without the looking.sigh guess we just need to face the truth.. And live with it :( ! Okie, here is Wat I do when this got me emotional, I go to bathroom , hav couple cigarettes, while tearing . N i walked pretend nth happen, well he won't b even notice anything , cuz he always snoring ...:(

i have been with my boyfriend for a year and a half and we haven't had sex. At first i thought that he was just waiting to see if i was the right one but now i do not know what to think. i openly tell him that i want to but he always uses the excuse that he doesnt have a condom. when i ask him to get, he doesnt, when i tell him that i am going to get some, he says that thats a guy thing and i shouldnt. i love him and so i give him oral sex when ever we are together, he doesnt do me. he will play with me, and do other things and thats ok with him. im starting to get frustrated, because i love sex and i do not want to cheat on him. what should i do?

it means he doesn't want you anymore. my fiancé does the same thing. he uses the line its you, not me saying. and being in debt. I was told to watch him and make sure hes not having an affair. I think he wants these goodlooking women. and the thing is im not ugly.

This might sound completely shallow at first, but it isn't:
Most probably, you're not physically attractive anymore. He loves you, so he doesn't leave you. But sex is a different thing. Sexual attraction is very, very physical. Maybe you've changed your appearance in a way he doesn't like (which includes growing fat)... or he sees your non-spruced-up at-home-look a little too often - that's something a lot of women seem to completely overlook.
So the other commenter's statement that "...there are so many guys who wants to have a relationship with me and people even strangers compliment me everyday. So that mean Is not me" is BS, really. Hardly anyone sees you the way your life partner does. Make sure he sees a hot version of yours most of the time (I could bet he doesn't at the moment). If he loves you, it's almost impossible for him to say "babe, you just don't look sexy most of the time" - but it's also hard to 'ignore' it.
Good luck.

I'm getting tired of my boyfriend acting like this as well. When we started dating I told him I didn't want to have sex for a while until I was ready. After 7 month dating we had sex for the first time. We been together for 2 years now and he never initiate it I am the one who does it. Most of the time when I start flirting with him and touch him he gets an actitudes, like he doesn't want it. At first I thought I was the peoblem, I felt so untractive and unwanted it was frustrating me! But there are so many guys who wants to have a relationship with me and people even strangers compliment me everyday. So that mean Is not me. I am a very sexual person like if it was for me I'll do it everyday all the time. I don't know what to do, I don't know if I should break up with him or not cause I don't plan on marrying someone that's not so sexually active. I know sex is not important but damn.

To the guy with the "make him chase you" advice... Seriously? How is that an adult relationship? Guys who think this is the answer are asking to be abused, in a way. Regular good women are not manipulative like that and it's really not a healthy relationship pattern. A partnership is about unconditional love. If the guy can't get it up because it's too "available" or she's cozying up to him in sweat pants vs. stilettos - the GUY has a problem. If you're a gal who's looking for someone to grow old with, that kind of guy is going to make you feel bad about yourself always... just sayin.

I am in the exact same place! we have been togather 2 yrs and will be getting married in april. At the beginning of our relationship i always had to initiate sex between us. I always thought that maybe he was shy or something. But i asked him and he told me the relationship right before me and him he was very sexually active. I have a very high sex drive and i often feel like im nagging him to make love to me. Today he told me (after i jokingly asked) that he masturbates about 1 or 2 times a day. I DONT have a problem with masturbation but it is a problem when u openly tell me you mastubate but you always push me away when i try to be intimate. He could be fully aroused .. and when i try to initiate sex he will turn me down and tell me not right now or hell tell me his not in the mood.. but he will be perfectly erect...when i asked him about it he said hes just lazy. It kinda makes me feel bad.. alot because i dont know what i can do i dont want to nag him

sex is very complicated activity. A child recognizes sex at the age of three once it finds difference in urinating behavior and becomes curious. This curiosity remains for rest of the life. At the age of 15 the urge begins and occupies utmost activity in ay to day issues. A partner with similar urge joins. First experience(s) is marvelous and enduring, long standing. Gradually it reduces first in a female partner then in male. some men have sexual urge even after 80 plus, though not getting goo erection. sex is not merely intercourse. couple should feel, understand good companionship of sharing and caring is also part of sex.

People are like sand in your hand. If you have sand in your hand, the tighter you close your hand, the more the sand will seep out from the sides!
His attraction for you is probably at a low. The first thing I would do is to stop pressuring him or persuading him to sleep with you. Guys DO NOT like to be pressured because it starts to feel like nagging.
Now I know I may get some hate comments for this, but as a man I will tell you how it is. Try to make yourself more desirable and attractive. Men love to chase. When something is too easy, we lose our attraction for it. At the moment you are making it FAR too easy for him, which is why his attraction for you has decreased and he isn't bothered about sleeping with you.
Start going out with your friends more, let him see very clearly that he is not the only thing in your life - men are incredibly attracted to strong confident women who have a life of their own.
Work-out, if you think you're not in shape or you think you haven't been paying as much attention to your physical appearance or personal hygiene lately (don't take it the wrong way, some people really do let themselves go and don't even realize), try to work on that.
Men and women both have different needs. Personal needs, but also needs in terms of our gender. Women love to be made to feel special by their man, chased, and above all, DESIRED. Men on the other hand, love to chase and love a challenge. Up your attitude a bit, make the best out of your appearance, make an effort to look and smell good - let him see you going out looking beautiful with your friends - and tease him sometimes. ABSOLUTELY DON'T be too available all the time, it KILLS the attraction.
The way you communicate with him is also absolutely critical. How you speak, what you say, HOW exactly you create sexual tension and anticipation and how you do this in such a way to make him desire you. Be a challenge, a flirt, a tease. But don't over do it. Mix it up.
Best of Luck
