Welcome to EmpowHER and thanks for your question. I can imagine after almost a year in a relationship and all the sudden your boyfriend having these changes can be very difficult to deal with. But there might be many reasons that might be affecting your boyfriend and keeping from not wanting to have sex.
Physical causes
Alcoholism – quite common.
Abuse of drugs such as cocaine.
Obesity – quite common; slimming down will often help.
Anaemia - unusual, unless the man has been bleeding for any reason.
Hyperprolactinaemia – a rare disorder where the pituitary gland produces too much of the hormone prolactin.
Prescribed drugs – particularly Proscar (finasteride), a tablet used for prostate problems.
Low testosterone level
And depression can also affect your sex life.
That's why it is important for him to see a doctor first and check his testosterone levels.
