Hi. My boyfriend and I are both 20 and we've been together for about 3 1/2 years. He got a new job about 8 months ago, so now he's commuting an hour to and from work everyday as well as working long, stressful shifts. Because of this, our sex life has become non-existent. I have a fairly high libido, but I understand what stress can do to him. I just don't know what to do about it. I think he feels emasculated, and I hate hurting his feelings, but he wont even talk to me about it. He says he's just too tired all the time. I think my problem is with him constantly hanging out with his friends and playing video games when he gets home, but then he always complains about being too tired. Like I said I'm trying to be understanding to him, but we're both at our sexual peaks, and I'm very frustrated. By the way, I know he's REALLY scared of us getting pregnant even though we use protection and I'm on birth control. I'm going to be with him regardless, but what should I do?

Hi Ashli,
Thank you for your question and I am sorry for your bout of sexless relationship. Stress and long hours at work will really cause lower libido in a man. This is very common. Here at EmpowHer, we have an on going thread about this exact issue.

This may help your situation to see what others have done. Let me know if that helps.
