My Boyfriend Wont Have Sex With Me Anymore..?

My boyfriend & I have been dating for a year & a half now & we were very intimate up until this last month. I'm 18 & he's 20. I know it's only been 1 month but thats a pretty long time for us. Usually he's the one always wanting to, & a few weeks ago I tried, but he came up with an excuse but i thought nothing of it because it was the first time he's turned me down. but within the past 2 weeks I've been practically begging for it & he just wont give it to me. We both are working on finding a place together, but in the meantime we're living with our parents so we dont get to have sex as much as it is because our parents are always home & it's just uncomfortable so we usually wait until we're alone. Well his parents went out of town for the weekend so we stayed at his place & I thought we were going to do it since we have the whole house to ourselves, but once i started touching him etc.. he was just getting mad at me telling me to watch the show on T.V. that we were in the middle of watching. He was acting like he was soo into the show as if it would never be on again.. & as a matter of fact, we had it downladed on a DVD so we could pause it!! but he just refused & it really made me mad so I went into the other room & went to sleep. Well about 10 minutes later he comes into the room holding me & apologizing so I'm thinking we're gonna do it, so again I try, & AGAIN I'm turned down! I just dont get it! He says 'it's not you it's me' but what does that mean? I'm a very attractive girl & I dont think that could possibly be the problem? But what else could it be? It's weird because in the morning when he wakes up before I do, he's always touching my body & feeling me up & down but then doesnt want to have sex! So if he wasnt attracted to me he wouldnt be all over me, right? Nothing in our life has changed within the past few months, so he's isnt stressed about anything.. he gets everything he wants! So what's the deal? No matter what I do, he stays soft! I do all the things he used to like & now it's not phasing him! Sometimes I start kissing his neck or touching him when he's playing his Xbox but he just gets sooo mad that I'm making him 'die' & then I end up getting mad that he's being so anal so then I just go away! We never used to have this problem! No matter what he was doing, he'd always stop just to have sex! Now if i interrupt him, he snaps! He also used to love taking showers with me, even though I sometimes didnt like it becuase I simply wanted to shower & get out, but now he never wants to shower with me, even when I ask him to. He isnt really acting any different, he's still cuddly & playful with me, he just wont have sex! & recently while I was on my period, he would say to me how he can't wait until I'm off so we can do it & all that stuff but when I did end, we actually did start having sex but he went limp & I just dont have a clue in the world why! I didnt say anything but he ended up apologizing to me so I ended up asking him what the problem was & again he said it wasnt me it was him! So I Asked what about him? Whats wrong.. & he just had no answer. I dont know if i should keep trying or just lay around & wait for him to want to. Because I dont want to make him do it! I want him to want to! What Could Be The Problem?

My bf of 3 yrs has an intense n intamate relationship with Internet porn. After a yr we barely ever had sex. He has no problem jerking offs everyday though. After a year or so of fighting and then talking and then trying he still couldn't bring himself to have sex with me more then he masterbated. Hes affectionate, caring, supportive man and we have an amazing friendship, he just couldn't make me feel whole as a sexual person, for whatever reason (addiction,selfishness,mental) I could feel horrid when we would have sex because I figure he'd rather be jerking off to young teen porn. So I decided sex doesnt belong in our relationship. He of course didn't like the idea, but when he's fine w having sex 1-3 times a month and that simply does nothing for me. I can't get in the mood n I feel vey used or apologetic that he felt he has to sleep with me. So I decided to stop it. He can watch porn all he wants and I don't feel bad because that's what he wants/has to do because I won't give it up. To him an orgasm is an orgasm, it doesn't matter how he has it. It's been 6 months since we had sex n I've never been happier! :) for me the less sex I have the less I want it. So I'm fine with out it. We kiss n cuddle n pet eachother and without the possibility of sex being brought up weve been alot more emotionaly intamate (not sure why). He will occasionally ask me if I'll ever be ready for sex again, and I ask him if he'll ever be ready to give up porn. End of discussion. Haha. I can except his habit but I'll be damned if I have to actively compete with it!! Obviously my situation and solution is most likely pretty uncommon, but shows how every women and man with similar issues can possibly make lemonade out of....the lack of sex. Good luck to you all!

that really sucks! i dont even have an answer to that. I did get to the bottom of my boyfriends reasons and its a medical thing. But maybe your's is just sexually bored. its always better when its a surprise for him. But im no professional. Good luck hun! even though my boyfriends issues are medical, i feel like somethings missing, and that its me. That maybe he just didnt find me attractive anymore. and i too have gone to bed crying. Talk to him i guess. when he offers to get a third party, ask him why its necessary.

I've been having a similar problem... My boyfriend and i have been together for almost two years, and we have lived together for just about as long. Im 20 and hes 24. Well up until last month things were going great... i mean we've had out issues but we got through them.. But then things just kinda stopped. No sex, nothing. I mean im not drop dead gorgeous, but im good looking and i know he doesnt have a problem getting hard and that he does want sexual stuff.. he asks for blow jobs and what not all the time. He just doesnt want me. And hes asking me to do threesoms and stuff with him but im not even comfortable with my own relationship to allow another girl in on things. I just dont get it... for example last night was valentines day (V-Day is a big day in my book) and i dressed up all nice for him, and cooked dinner and he got my flowers and a card. He was teasing me and rubbing me all over with his hands and then he asks if he can take care of himself( i.e masturbate) i couldnt stay calm anymore,i broke down in tears and took a bath while i waited for him to be done. I ended up crying myself to sleep on valentines day and i dont know why he didnt want me

Hello I didn't realize how many women are or have experienced the same issue that I am currently experiencing. I've been in a relationship for 2.5 years with my man. After 6 months into the relationship we moved in together. Our sex life was pretty good at the beginning but slowly began to change after I moved in. It's been 4 months since we've had sex. Crazy enough, 4 months ago I found out he cheated on me, but we were intimate a couple of weeks after that, but no more since then. He works nights and I work and attend school full time. We sleep in the same bed, he kisses me before he leaves the house and when he returns. He hugs me often and tells me he loves me but when I initiate sex or even ask for sex he says "I'm tired". I'm 34 and he's 29. Somethings wrong, but I don't know what it is. He pays bills, helps me with my daughter in college and even gives me money when ever I ask and just because. One thing I've noticed is that he watches porn dvd's on a regular basis. He never does it when I'm home but he always forget to take the movie out of the dvd. I feel that he's not attracted to me. I figured on his days off maybe I will try again. Tonight was one of his days off and I tried again, no such luck.

Same here! But I went somewhere else and it didn't help me cause I didn't get that emotional satisfaction from the man I slept with. It's more than sex to me. I can't get pregnant (tubes tied), I must be hot cause I have guys all the time wanting me (and those I wanted in past, I always got).. I called mine gay too but I k now he isn't. I isn't cheating. I know mine has ED issues but he won't get help on it, cause he doesn't believe it. He is older than me, in his 50s. It's his weight, and the meds he takes, and stress. Laziness and also working too much. But help he can get, help he won't get. The thing is, you feel trapped cause you love that person so much and don't wanna dump him.
