Is it normal that my boyfriend doesn't want to have sex anymore?

I met my boyfriend online almost 5 years ago and about 4 years ago we started dating, met each other in person and fell in love. We would see each other once a month and have amazing sex.
A year later we started living together and it started to slow down. Now he seems like he never wants to have sex and I pretty much given up asking. Everytime I do get up the courage to ask, he says he is too tired, he feels sick or he is "just not in the mood". Is this normal??

Is It Normal?

  • AH yes, my girlfriend whines about me not being in the mood anymore, too. It's because we'd rather jack off. It's easier, and we know what we like.

  • Maybe your boyfriend is asexual? wild card I know but... maybe he is and doesn't know it. from the sounds of things it sounds like it's not you he isn't interested in , it's the sex. something to try to bring up.

    Damn.. what would be his next excuse, ''his period'' ?

    If he doesn't need it from you, he probably gets it from someone else.

  • Yeah, erectile disfunction. Whatever you do. Be patient and don't discourage him. If you insulted him about it at all. you are toast.

  • If he won;t consent to counseling, tell him you want to get it from some other person, but still remain married. As an affront to his manhood, he ought to be PISSED. But hey, pissed is passion, and heated arguments arouse passion. Might go well, might not. Like walking on the dagger's edge. Tread carefully.

  • I think it's time you either find another boyfriend or take on a lover. Nothing's more powerful than sexual desire. Enjoy it while you have it.

  • People get bored of each other and yes that's normal.

    Living with someone is the fastest way to get bored of them; welcome to 'marriage'.
    Just because you don't have the certificate doesn't mean it's not basically the same thing.

    You might be able to fix it alone by making yourself more attractive to him but if not you might want to spice things up by binging in other girls.

    If you don't want to really try and make yourself more attractive to him or bring in new girls to spice things up then it's over.

    Guys need a lot of sex so if he's not getting it from you or himself he's probably screwing some other girl.

  • Maybe he has erectile dysfunction because he is fat or something. Is he a fat man?

  • Have you ever done what he likes? Maybe you're selfish in bed and he doesn't get off by it. Tell him you'll do whatever he wants

  • Girl life is too short for this. He cant meet the standard requirements, get someone who can. I personally hope you're not attached to him because of the person he used to be rather than the person he currently is.

  • Masturbation is not a substitute but simply a form of sex which is different from intercourse, a second way of reaching orgasms. It is not that you masturbate as long as you have no partner, then stop it altogether and switch exclusively to making love! Most people do both, and this does not at all mean they no longer love their partner or something like that when they pleasure themselves. Masturbation is more reliable: You know which "cinema" your arousal needs and what you have to do to drive yourself over the edge. There is (almost) no risk of failure, and it is much easier to find release. Therefore many guys masturbate on a regular basis even in a partnership.

    A first consequence is that a guy who masturbates frequently may not feel horny enough to seek sexual intercourse, a second consequence is that he will avoid the embarrassment of a possible failure (being not hard enough, having a sore sensation, not having produced enough sperm since the last masturbation session, etc.). Instead of explaining all this - which a woman may find hard to understand -, he rather uses the typical lame excuses you mentioned. I assume he would love to give you what you need, and it would even meet his own desires, but I guess he is in the grip of masturbation and can't help it. If so, you also should not think you are not attractive for him anymore.

    Now please be wise and do not interrogate him! Even if you ask him if he masturbates you risk that he will give the untrue answer "no", just to avoid embarrassing discussions. Don't... What you describe happens in many partnerships. I don't know of a recipe to overcome it. Some couples don't manage and split up, others find a successful solution. It can't be a mistake to try to understand the above even if you'd like that it were different.

    Yes, there may exist cases where he has found a more fascinating woman. But you'd realize that by other signs. Avoid this suspicion if you can - if not justified it would make the situation dramatically worse.

    • Weird as it may sound I believe he hates the act of sex because he has become a bit depressed. He hates porn, like really hates it, and never looks at other girls.
