How can I stop being sexual?

So I’m a very sexual person, always have been.

My boyfriend isn’t really at all.

We have been together 6 months and he’s brought up a few times he hates when he wakes up to something sexual and when I get sexual at night, especially if it’s before he goes to bed, but he never tells me when he’s going to bed, sometimes it’s like 8, sometimes it’s 1 am.

I’ve been working hard to not be sexual, but sometimes it just slips through.

A few day’s ago I told him that I might send him booty pics later that night and never heard back from him till the next day, to which he ignored it. I always ask before I send.

I did take some so I decided to ask him today, around 12:30, if he’d like some tonight.

He got kinda mad at me:

“No I’m fine thank you. And I honestly am kinda tired of waking up or going to bed and seeing text messages about sex all the time. I work all day then go home and work more I’m tired I’d just like to relax or have a normal conversation.”

I apologized profusely and told him I’d try harder.

I truthfully am not sure what to do. I’m not even allowed to make dirty jokes or anything. By “normal conversation” he means him talking about cars while I listen. I never really get a chance to tell him about my day or anything.

How can I try to be less sexual? He knew I was like this when we started dating, and he didn’t seem to mind at all. he’s only had this job for about two weeks.

And when I say I’m “sexual” I mean I’m just really casual talking about sex and stuff. I’m known by everyone, even my parents, to make dirty jokes and like to flirt with my boyfriend a lot. I never try to initiate sexting or anything, I ask him if he’d like a pic or he will ask if we can.

I’ll take any suggestions rn.
