my boyfriend for over a year just recently stopped having sex with me, its like it went from 3 or 4 times a week and slowly went to not having it for almost 2 months, every time i ask him why he wont play with me anymore he always says i don't know, i didn't want to make it feel like i was bugging him but i guess it just hurt when he said he didn't know? So i kept asking him and then i finally got a response which i just think he gave me so i would stop asking and he just said i feel like your getting bored of me. I've tried many times to tell him that its not really about the sex its about being with him and he still wont have sex with me.. i feel like i'm not wanted or i'm not good enough. I just want to know what the problem is, sex used to be a big part of our relationship and now its nothing.

I know it shouldnt but this is really making me depressed i've been crying more because of this i get mad easly because he just seems like he doesnt care anymore. Also i know he doesn't have a STD or anything else we get checked.

It’s strange, because whenever women withhold affection from men, reject men, manipulate men, blather on about “faking it”, or otherwise disparage men, it’s considered funny, sassy and oh-so-cutesy. Or so we’ve been told by practically every comedian, sitcom, and movie over the past 50 years or so. And females are inevitably the ones laughing the loudest at these types of jokes and slights. Well ladies, who’s laughing now? Isn’t it just hilarious having your most basic needs and desires ridiculed and toyed with in such a condescending manner? Or perhaps it doesn’t seem quite as funny when the shoe’s on the other foot? Cry me a river - you wanted equal rights and now you have them.
Oh, but when women turn down men it’s justifiable because males must never be allowed to think that females are too eager or they’ll start taking them for granted, right? It’s a woman’s prerogative to play mind games and keep men humble, right? Well maybe women need to practice what they preach and start following their own patronizing advice that they so smugly dish out to men, such as “Stop being so horny!“, or “Go take a cold shower!“, and don’t forget to “Keep it in your pants!” (or your dress, as the case may be). Sorry ladies, but despite what you may believe, men are under no more of an obligation to provide gratification to women than vice versa, and it’s time for you to “woman up” and deal with it.

But what about women who don't just depend on a man to go above and beyond sexually. What about the women who anticipate sex and try exciting things, take action, take charge, do alot of work, and put themselves out there, and are not against doing alot of work as well. Relationships should be equal...noone doing more work than the other...I'd like to be met half way...I've been with my boyfriend 10 years and he doesn't have any issues but he has changed greatly in bed..he doesn't touch me the same and he can go 3 weeks without sex.

Ive been with my boyfriend for almost 3 years and when we first got together we had sexy what seemed like all the time. I moved in with him about 3 months ago and i can count on one hand how many times wee had sex. Ill make the first move and he'll just kinda push me off or ill go down on him and hell get off but i never get anything in return im starting to think he doesn't want me anymore but he wont say it.

He may be suffering from depression. Low libido in men is usually influenced by mood and results in a low production of testosterone. Nothing seems attractive anymore with all the colour drained out of life.

I recommend seeing a relationship counsellor or something.

Uh. A man here.. Sorry to tell you this ladies but the most reasonable reason that they would be doing this is because you did something to make them find you unattractive. Flat out. Women seem to think men are TOTALLY about appearance? No.. If the relationship is going south.. If you're controlling.. If you're apathetic.. If you don't truly care about his feelings (50% of American women don't..) then he's not going to have sex with you. Hope this helps.. Try to make him want you again.

This is the exact same thing with my boyfriend. A girl has needs too.. He keeps shooting me down saying he's tired. It gets frustrating because you don't know if it's something you did and he won't tell you

My boyfriend could care less about sex and it is so frustrating. Like other women stated I am going through the same feelings about myself. I have beat myself up mentally. He must not be attracted to me anymore.
I have cried myself to sleep so many times I have lost count. I have to initiate sex, doing that is so degrading for me. It has gotten to the point that I have to tell him what to do, it's like he has never had sex before. We used to have hot sex in the beginning of our relationship. He hates his job so I know he is depressed about that. Yet he doesn't make any effort to change jobs. I haven't changed, I am fit, sexy and keep myself looking the best I can. I love him but I don't want to keep living like this. I feel like life is too short.

My boyfriend is doing the same thing ... Its breaking my heart . I feel I am m not good enough ; basically he has taken my self esteem from me . The last few times we were even making out(3 different times )he said negative things about my body ..once each time..making 3 hurtfull comments and now he shows no interest at all . I just need to feel wanted and not rejected . It hurts soooo much that I cant concentrate on simple things or see movies with scenes of love ,because I want sooo bad to feel that apperication and to feel wanted.
Im sorry your feeling like this .... Its the worst :( hes far from perfect and I see his soul and his body and It makes him perfect .. And it feels like all he sees are all my imperfections .
I have tried to talk to him ...told him it hurts me a LOT .He refuses to communicate most of the time so I have no clue whats going on .I get aoooo mad at myself for trying over and over again ..... I just get shoot down ,and If I show emotion (even when I try to hide it calmy) he gets frusturated at me . I dont know what to do ..I cant be in a loving relationship when there is no intimacy ...I feel depressed all day every day and hate when I look in the mirror now ,it feels like every Inch of me is a flaw . Im not obese just over weight and I cant do anythibg but see myself as a waste of space.
