I am so sorry that you are going through this sadness in your relationship right now. Have you considered talking with a counselor or therapist?
It does not sound like this relationship is making you happy any longer, as it has gone from a romantic relationship into a friendship...and you are looking for an intimate relationship with your boyfriend (of course!). He, it sounds like, is now fine with being friends ("his love for me is entirely based on mentality level" and "no need for sex any longer").
Ending a relationship is difficult to do, and is a process. Give yourself time. Please do not wonder what is "wrong with you" ("Am i obsessed with sex?"). How can you possibly be obsessed with sex...you are trying to get your boyfriend's attention sexually, and he is no longer interested in you sexually...for whatever reason(s). He was very clear in his communication with you about this, and you are now making the choice to stay with him; in essence you are agreeing with this new friendship-arrangement.
Please communicate with him clearly that you are looking for a boyfriend/partner that includes all-aspects of "romantic love" (versus "friendship love") and one that meets your needs and makes you happy. You deserve it! If you two are no longer on the same page as far as what you are looking for in a future boyfriend-girlfriend relationship, that really is OK. It can happen, and does not mean anything is wrong with the other person. It does not mean one person is bad or hateful; relationships can unfortunately come-and-go; feelings change for one person and not the other.
I hope you can both by authentic and "real" and choose what is best for you, and that is being a part of a relationship that meets your needs. Of course, the difficult part about being authentic and true to ourselves is acting on our truth...and this is where a therapist or counselor can help you through the steps. I wish you the best!

-Husband no sex drive (..."On the other hand, he may tell you the truth, and you guys may realize, “Hmm, we’ve got a problem here that’s not going to get solved,” like ”I am not attracted to you,” or like ”I am just not that into sex with anybody,” or like ”I think that sex is creepy”...)
- Am I Sexually Normal? ("The only way to escape [anxiety regarding what "normal" is], is deciding that "normal" is irrelevant. Take some control of your life: decide that you have a right to accept your sexuality on your own terms.")
