Boyfriend has a seriously low sex drive, any tips?
Okay so I’ve been with my man around a year and at the very start we were obviously having sex a lot like most new couples. He had a tough year last year between jobs and stressed out about money a lot so his sex drive took a dive which I can fully understand - I know it’s really common for men to want nothing less than sex when they’re really stressed and anxious. Anyway, he then got a really good job that he basically worked the whole of last year to get. Things were going a lot better for him but still he just was not interested.
I’m not sure if he maybe just got so into a habit of not craving sex that he can’t shift it or if it’s something to do with me as well or what? Basically, it’s always me that initiates sex and I have to either almost “convince” him or he just shuts it down completely. I’m wildly attracted to him so sometimes just looking at him I’m like “damnnnn take me now hun” 😂 but he never, ever is like that with me. I’ve had a couple horrible ex’s in the past that used to withhold sex as almost a weapon and tell me it was my fault - because I was “ugly” or “fat” or whatever other shit (did not last long with them I ain’t got no time for that). My current boyfriend would never, ever say anything like that to me but I can’t seem to help have the thoughts of “well maybe I am the problem” creep into my head as a result of previous experiences. Also would just like to make it clear - I’m in no way, shape or form ugly or fat and I know that - but sometimes that wee voice in your head just won’t shut up 🤷🏽♀️
Honestly in all other aspects the relationship is amazing and he’s 1000% not up to anything with anyone else or anything like that, he’s my best friend and we love each other a lot but I’m just wondering if there’s maybe more I could do to please him/turn him on/change his mindset etc. Any tips or anyone with similar experiences would be really appreciated!
