We don't have sex anymore... should I keep trying?
So my boyfriend and I have been together for 5 years. When we met as taboo to some as it is we had sex the first night. It was so good and all night that when I stood up I feel to my knees. We immediately had a strong connection and moved in together within 2 weeks and lived together ever since. Because we moved so fast there was so much to learn and quick. We have definitely had our ups and downs but one of our main issue that has been unresolved is our sex life or lack there of.
To get a better picture my boyfriend is non aggressive and has a lowering sex drive where on the other hand I have a high sex drive and want it as often as I can get it. I find myself confused as sex has never been an issue for me in past relationships and I thought that by being with my current boyfriend who I love and adore for so many years that I wouldn't have to beg or masturbate as much as I do, but I do because he just has no interest. What's even more confusing that we were both only 29 and attractive people, and I would assume that that would be the right ingredients for a healthy fun sex life but its not.
I've already talk to him many times about it but nothing has changed. He's gone to the doctor to check his testosterone and his levels are fine. He likes it when I give him oral sex and gets a full erection but when it gets to the point of having sex he sometimes says things that kill the mood or his erection goes limp and its so hurtful and frustrating for me. It has been 6 going on 7 months now and we haven't had sex. I couldn't take it anymore cause I couldn't stop but infatuated on the idea that he was maybe getting it elsewhere and actually flipped out major when I told him I was horny and that if he wanted I would be game and instead of having sex with me he waited till I fell asleep and started looking at porn. It wasn't a pretty sight when I surprised him that I was still awake and saw his boner. I just went over the edge and went insane.
He moved out and I move to another city since. We're trying to make it work and have recently we talked again and planned a romantic night in San Fransisco. The night should have been full of love, fun sex games, drinks, some fun toys we picked out together, beautiful hotel room and just us but it ended with frustration, crying on my part, anger and bad comments on his part, it was all together a bust. I just don't know what more I can do or say.
We talk a lot about being each others future and we talk a lot about how great we are together and we talk a lot about the lack of our sex life but now I'm at the point that I am so dissatisfied that a future with him is sounding more and more like a depressing death trap. I hate feeling like this because he is a wonderful man and he is someone who I can and want to see myself having a future with but if I'm never satisfied and he's OK with that does that mean I have to be OK with that? I don't want to lose him but I don't want to lose me either.
Sex is not the most important thing in a relationship but it ranks pretty high in my book. I sometimes feel shameful for wanting it or considering leaving him for it and I just don't know what to do. I love him but he doesn't give me the connection that I need. Oh yeah, I should mention that he does say he feels bad and loves me and want to be intimate with me but in his words he suck in that area and has recently told me that he has considered giving me a hall pass so that I get satisfied and he doesn't lose me. He also watches porn, gets erections, and finishes just fine without me. I just don't get it! Any advise?
