Why Doesn't my boyfriend want to have sex with me anymore?

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?

I'm sorry if this is too forward but i want to ask if you masturbate, do you look at porn? Because I don;t understand how my boyfriend can say he's not into sex, yet I have walked in on him masturbating to porn on the internet & now I'm even suspicious that it wasn't live chat.
Maybe you can help us girls understand this a little better, because this is a painful thing to go through feeling unwanted, my self esteem has gone down so much I am always crying, & I don't know what to do any more.

Hello everyone, I don't know what to say. I thought I was the only one with this problem. I met my boyfriend on December, everything happened so fast and we moved together on February.And since february until today June 5th we have been together (sexually speaking) four times. At the beginning our sexual life was fine, but when we moved together he just doesn't want to touch, sometimes not even kiss me. He tells me that he is tired, that he has headache, excuses and excuses.We have talked about the problem and he tells me he doesn't even think about that with all the work problems he has, he promise me that he is going to try, and we talk and talk and nothing happens here. I'm about to quit here and cheat too. This is the first time in my entire life that a guy does not want to have sex with me. I'm not bad looking and I understand all the women with the same problem. And I don't understand what it is, I have been thinking probably he is cheating ( but he doesn't go out that much) probably he is gay or just probably has a medical problem. Any advice out there??? I have red pretty much all the posts and is amazing what is happening here!!!! Good luck ladies and remember we deserve the best :)

I have the same problem my boyfriend & i live together but he says he doesn't like sex yet I have walked in on him masturbating to the internet, i don't know wut to do any more sex & the intimacy it shares is something needed in a relationship. It's a connection two people share. I'm ready to give up Maybe it's just us together that doesn't work maybe he would be fine with another woman, either way we both deserve to feel wanted & loved.

It means you suck in bed.. Flat out.. Sometimes guys that love their gf's get bored of the same old boring ass sex so they either cheat on you or jack off so much that he never gets in the mood for you.. I'm and guy and I know these things. If your on the internet asking random ass people about your problems your more than likely are indeed a boring person by nature. Look up new sex positions and look a little more slutty and show your cleavage..

Well me and my boyfriend have been together for 5 mouths apart 3 and for some reason doesn't want to have sex he says its not me but

I am going through that also the love making dropped in half. Not sure why. It might be job stress also proformance thinking he is not good. My guy is wonderful he takes his time. But he got upset because I said something about him not desiring me as much as he did. Maybe this is something guys go through. I very open to try new positions with him. So it can not be he is bored.

I know he would not cheat on me we both had partners that cheated on each of us. I am hoping this blows over. So hang in there.

Wow....such great advice from so many strong empowered women. Tragically like all of you I am in the same situation. 2 yrs together, 27 & 34 (him) healthy everywhere else in our relationship, but the dwindling sex has been for almost 6 months.
After reading all of this, it seems like a lot of the posters are young. Mentally young and actually YOUNG. I mean the misspellings, improper grammar, and the "cheating posts" from men are gross misrepresentations of men as a whole.
However the thread has been very helpful. I know now that I need to move on, because nothing will change.
Personally I know he's not cheating on me, except for that HJ he told me about from the "massage" parlor while I was at the grocery store. I love him, but I will love again.
My requests for logical explanations are just coming off as "Nagging" requests for sex.
I get a nasty responses as if I were challenging his manhood whenever I feel unattractive and undesired and want REASONS for why he hides his erections from me or whacks when I leave the house for 20 mins.
Whatever, this is natural. Soulmates, true love....marriage....fairy tales I should have left long ago with all the rest of the SOCIAL LIE to keep humans "good".
However it hurts so much, because I love him and just like all girls, I WANT to be wanted by what I WANT, which is him.
I'm sure his dwindling libido has a lot to do with the fact that he's over-weight, an alcoholic, an ex ROID abuser, and probably just not interested in me, despite what he says.
I’m no dummy, I know that stuff’s not going to change. However I’ve put off my career to appease his desires, to try to reignite our passion, and to make this work. What a waste....it’s only now that the passion’s dead and the love is still lingering that I can almost see clearly enough to realize this is just like everything else: getting OLD.
Next relationship I’m in, as soon as the sex dwindles I’ll be OUT like shout.

If you only get ONE thing from this whole thread, it’s that there’s 1081 posts and 75% of them are similar stories, so leave. Look for NEW, better, happier, and from within. ALSO NEVER PUT OFF YOUR CAREER FOR A MAN! EVER!!!!!
