Why Doesn't my boyfriend want to have sex with me anymore?

Did you gain a lot of weight? Have you stopped putting effort into sex (i.e. making advances, being flirty, initiating sex, dressing sexy, etc.)? My wife has done all of the above and, even though I love her more than ever, my desire to have sex with her has waned. It sounds terrible, I know, but I, like most men, am very visual and frankly I have no desire to have sex with her lately. I feel like she's just given up after 10 years of marriage. She's not trying to turn me on so why should I bother anymore? I have no desire to cheat whatsoever, but there's an awful lot of free porn online these days. Maybe your boyfriend is experiencing the same situation.

just ask him straight up....why do we not have sex any more? u say its not me and if its not u then what is it?

Is everyone noticing a trend here? You hear the same story from all these ladies, all different ages, sizes etc. I think it all boils down to the excitement of the chase is over and he is bored. Women are emotional creatures and can stay in relationships through hardships (whatever they may be) but a man is a physical creature and always need the stimulation (visual) of something new and exciting. It's like a kid with a new toy, eventually they get tired of it and want something new, even though they may want to hold on to the old toy. Girls, if you have to beg for it, go somewhere else and get what you need. You can bet if the situation were reversed, he would, then he would blame you for making him go elsewhere.

From a man's perspective I can tell you he's probably on his way out of the relationship. But why don't you jus ASK HIM why he's not doing you anymore? See what he says. If you know him well enough you should be able to tell if he's lying and just making up an excuse.

I have this same problem except maybe not as bad as some on here, but it still is really really bothering me nontheless. I am 23 yrs old and my bf will be 30 in 3 weeks. We do not live together and we met each other both as single parents. We have been dating for 2 yrs and 4 months. I have a 3 yr old daughter and he has a 5 yr old son. We used to do it every weekend cause thats when we see each other. Now it seems like a monthly or bi-monthly occurance. It has been this way for several months. Last week he told me that we were going to "have wild crazy sex," but come saturday I came over....we watched rented movies...then he fell asleep...I'd been there for just 3 hrs. He spent the night sleeping on the couch. He is a wonderful guy and I love him so much, but it really bothers me wondering what happened to him wanting to have sex with me. I dont want to talk to anyone about it because it makes me sound like some sex crazed freak, or like a bitch. Reasons why he dosen't feel that crazy about wanting me anymore run through my mind all the time though like: do I look different than I used to, am I boring, does he feel like he is stuck with me... He still says he loves me really often and cuddles with me, but I don't know what happpened to the sex. I know he does'nt get alot of sleep most nights and maybe thats it, but that never stopped him before. I could continue to blab, but yeh....I am frustrated.

Hi my name is Aztek nd being a 28 yo male and a player I could tell you. The only reason I've never done a girl was because she didn't make me want it enough. Whatever u do u gotta make urself attractive and sexy 2him and nomatter how tired or stressed out he mayb if u kno how 2make him hot then it won't matter. Don't b so supportive if u R going 2do something do it 4urself nd not 4him, nd make sure he knowz it. Let'm think that he could loose u. love urself, worry about urself, nd do whatever u gotta do 2make urself happy cause when u kno how 2love urself it showz. And otherz want that same type of love that u show 4urself. Make urself happy and make anybody else earn that love don't just hand it over.

i have the same problem with my boyfriend... we have been dating for almost 2 years..i dont know what happened but it just slowly disappeared to once once or twice a week and when we do i feel awful for asking because i feel like he does it to shut me up and i dont want that.. i want him to want to. ive tried different things to change about myself and i wonder every single day if i have done something wrong or what have done to make this happen.. and ive talked to him about it for about four months now and he still hasnt even made an effort.. im not going to leave him for this reason but i need to know why it has changed and if there is anything what can i do to fix it. I know hes not cheating on me, he is always with me. he says hes stressed because he needs to get his life together.. waiting for him to change to the way he used to is just killing me though.. if your boyfriend changed or what happened with everything please comment on this.. we have the exact same situation with a small town and not wanting to leave him and id really appreciate it if you could let me know if theres anything i can do

I'm a guy and I am in the same situation, should I assume my girlfriend is cheating on me because she only wants sex once or twice a month? In my experience it is normal for women to cheat on their boyfriends, not just from personal experience but through my guy friends as well(I don't have male friends who fit the typical "all guys cheat" trait, maybe I am an alien).

Anyways, only thing I can assume is it comes down to self-esteem issues, I know a lot of guys can be very sensitive to their girlfriends during sex, "Does it feel good for her? Is she enjoying it?", these thoughts can discourage guys from having sex as often as in the beginning. Guys won't always believe the girls when they say they enjoy the sex, especially when with a partner who tends to be quieter then the average person during sex.

Another thing that can discourage guys from having sex on a consistent basis with their partners is when there is a lack of experimentation, and I don't mean super kinky stuff, just trying new positions or lighter things, the reason being if the sex is as enjoyable as the partner says why is nothing new being tried because isn't that a part of the enjoyment between two people?

Anyways, it is not always the case that the guy doesn't find his partner attractive anymore, is cheating on them, or the guy himself has low self-esteem. Guy's can be discouraged from having sex with their partners when they feel they aren't getting a positive enough response, they will feel like they are not good enough and so abstain from sex thinking that is what their partner wants.

It doesn't hurt to get on top, be a bit more aggressive, take what you want when you really want it, try new positions, dress up, or be a little more vocal, it WILL encourage your man, guaranteed.
