Hi ladies,
I have a bit of an embarrassing experience to share. My boyfriend and I have been going out for only 9 months, and he won't sleep with me anymore. I love him, and he says he loves me, and is otherwise a perfect partner.
But when it comes to the bedroom, I have tried many things to try and peak his interest again. I wear sexy underwear that he likes (even though I find it uncomfortable!). I go the gym and keep in shape. I'm open to trying new things and do things he likes.
I feel like I can't start anything sexual with my own boyfriend- I just seem to hit a brick wall every time. I need this in a relationship, for me it makes me feel closer to him, and very loved. I'm starting to feel neglected and even a little depressed about it. I talk to him about this and he just brushes it away by saying, "Why are you making a problem?" or "I'm just not a sexual person. I can't change that."
Any advice you can give me would be appreciated. Help! :(

Hello naomi24,
Welcome to the EmpowHER community. It takes bravery to share a personal story such as yours, but I am glad that you did. We are here to help and I am certain you will get many responses from our members, who have a similar experience.
I am wondering about something you mentioned, that your boyfriend said, "I'm just not a sexual person." You share that he watches porn on a regular basis. Could he have insecurities or doubts about his own sexuality?

Maryanne,
He sometimes has erectile dysfunction because I insist on using protection- which he blames it on. I really don't know what to do about it.
