Boyfriend’s Sex Drive

My boyfriend just told me that his sex drive has been significantly down here lately. He told me he still finds me attractive and still wants me, but my anxiety tells me otherwise. I can’t help but feel like I’m not attractive enough for him and that he does not want me as much anymore.

He and I used to have sex all the time when we first got together. We have always been very respectful to each other’s bodies, respects when the other is not in the mood, and is always asking for consent because I have been taken advantage of sexually in the past. Even after we have sex sometimes, I get very anxious and cry because I am terrified he will leave me. I know deep down that he will not, and he reassures me and is very patient with me. All this comes from the sexual abuse I have experienced in my past.

I find him extremely attractive, and despite me being on birth control, my sex drive is very high.

I love him very much, and we are in a very serious and strong relationship. What should I do to help both of our sex drives and help me not be so anxious?
