God I'm having exactly the same problem and feel so relieved to hear it's not just me although that doesn't solve the situation.
We always see women being the ones to turn down sex with the men basically following them around with their tongues out - on the tv , etc.
So as a woman you really do feel like some kind of hideous freak when you are actively pursuing your man and he shows no interest in a physical relationship of any kind.
My relationship has gone from being intensely physical to maybe once a week if I'm lucky but more often than not it's once a fortnight and this is only if I push the subject. I used to have the effect on my partner that would almost instantly get him aroused and now I know he only has sex with me almost out of duty.
Like the other women on here that has made me feel completely rejected and makes me feel like I have lost my femininity, my sexual attraction , everything.
I wish I had some answer to this and its unfortunate the advice given on here is to end the relationship as that's not an option for a lot of people , especially if you love your partner.
It would help if women weren't made to feel so selfish somehow for having sexual needs and wants and desires but that is not the case for a lot of women.
Sex is not the be all and end all of a relationship but it is important to help the bonding and closeness between partners and that connectivity can be lost when there is such a lack of physical intimacy.
Any advice that is NOT to end the relationship would be gratefully received as this is literally destroying every aspect of my confidence and self esteem.
From previous articles I've read on this apparently this is becoming more and more common with more and more women speaking up about their partners lack of sex drive. That's helpful to know when you're reading about it but it can be hard to rationalise it in your personal relationship , particularly during moments when you're feeling rejected .
