I have been with my boyfriend a little over a year (5 year age difference. I'm 24. He's 29). We became sexually active a couple months into the relationship. At the start we were having a LOT of sex. Which is good because I have a pretty strong sex drive. We were doing it every chance we got.

Last December he had a medical issue where he went to stand from the couch and the motion knocked three vertebrae out of his spine and popped a joint on his neck and shoulder out of place. To date he has stated he's not 100% but a good 85-90 though he doesn't think his shoulder will be the same. Anyway, due to the injury we weren't having sex for quite some time; about a month. Once he healed up enough we went back at it. Things were about the same but slowly over time sex became less and less frequent.

I'm talking about going from having sex every other day at least to once or twice a week only on weekends if I'm lucky. We both agreed early on that we can demand sex from each other when we want it. However 9/10 when I ask for it I get rejected and the other times he can't get serious enough to have sex.

I've tried the sexy lingerie to entice him which only works for a little while before it's not as appealing anymore.

We were both virgins upon meeting and we know we have a lot to learn and he admits sex isn't something he's good at but I'm getting tired of doing it solo. Since early spring I've slowly become to rely on masturbation to get off and even then I feel icky and frustrated and yes I have told him this and nothing has changed.

I'm just wondering if there's anything more I can do to get him to want me more. To get the engines going more and more. I just really want to feel wanted more. Any advice ladies?
