He doesn’t want to have sex? Please help!!

So me and my boyfriend have been having some sex problems where we’ve been rarely having sex anymore. It’s been a little over a week when usually we do it about twice a week.

I’ve been bringing it up lately just because usually when it’s been a while he tends to get more touchy and suggest things but he hasn’t been doing that so it’s been worrying me.

So I asked him about it today and he just said he was trying to be less needy about it when he never was needy in the first place about sex. I always was. I was the one who wanted to have sex 4 or more times a week (which is crazy I know) and toned it down for him to like 2 times a week. So that can’t be the reason.

I tried not to push it further so I didn’t upset him but what do you think I should do?

I need him to know that I need more sex because masturbating doesn’t work for me and I have sexual needs but I don’t want him to get upset and sound needy.
