When my boyfriend & I started dating we had sex 2-3 times daily, now only 2-3 times weekly, what might be wrong?

I'll start with some background info. I'm 19 and my boyfriend is 32. He is the athletic type, with a pretty nice body. I myself am definitely not athletic. I've been overweight for most of my life, I'll admit I could lose 50lbs and look much better for it. For about 6 months now my boyfriend does not want to have sex nearly as often. Its like he doesn't enjoy it while we're having sex, Sometimes he can't maintain his erection during the act. Other times he makes up excuses when I even bring up the idea of sex. I've tried spicing things up, porn, dressing up for him, etc. But I guess I'm wondering if my weight is really the problem, because when we first got together I looked exactly the same as I do now, and he has always told me he thinks I'm beautiful. Most of the time he tells me its not me, that his sex drive is just not the same as when he was younger, that he smokes too much and isn't in good shape anymore. However he has made a comments about my weight before, and I know that he is used to dating athletic girls and that's what he's attracted to. So. Is it really all physical? Should I just try my hardest to lose the weight to improve our sex life, or could it be that he isn't attracted to me in general anymore? We have been arguing a lot lately. From a guys perspective. What do you think it is?

Well this isn't a guy's perspective, but I have a few thoughts that might help.

Number one, is do not take it personally. He's in his thirties, and by his admission is out of shape and smokes. He could be going through an onset of ED. Which would explain the softness, and general feeling of discomfort you're seeing in him during. If that's the case, he'll be insecure, and will be very stressed and conflicted about it, which in turn would obviously affect his moods and readiness to argue about little things.

You've been the way you are your whole life, and he fell for you looking exactly the way you do now. I mean, absolutely, you should do what you can to eat healthy foods and get as much exercise as you can, but do it for yourself. He thinks you're beautiful. And he's old enough not to feed you any BS about it.

All of that said, he's right. He's not a teenager anymore. He's way beyond his sexual peak. And for a guy in his thirties, three times a week is 100% spot on ideal and completely normal - nothing wrong with it at all. There's a massive age gap between you, and you're going to run into things like this that you need to deal with.

Just lost of enjoyment. 2-3 times daily. That's 14-21 times a week. That's kinda beast.

I think you are thinking too much and trying to find a problem which doesn't exist. If he says that its not you, it probably isn't you, if he says your beautiful, he probably does think that. Having sex 2-3 times a week for a 32 year old is probably a decent average, you probably just have a different sex drive to him right now. You say you are the same weight now as when you got together so there is no problem, he was attracted to you then and so he still is. There is no problem. If you are not having sex enough for your liking, well that is a different problem, and you will need to talk to him about it. But try not to read too much into what he says. If he says he is attracted to you, he's attracted to you. If he says its not you, its not you. Hope this helps.

Question Asker You are probably right. I wasn't sure if it was normal for a guy his age or what. I've never really dated outside of my age group except for with him, thank you for your advice :) - 7 months ago

I wouldn't worry at all she are still having it 2 or 3 times a week I think that's pretty good. How long have you dated him. I would be worried if you weren't getting any you still are. I think twice a week is pretty good

Don't take it personally! Sometimes the stress from work, or life in general, can have an effect on someone's sex drive. Also, the newness of the relationship has passed, not necessarily a bad thing. You say you look the same as you did when you first got together. Well, he thought you were beautiful then and I am sure he still thinks so! Besides, a relationship should be based on more than just physical attraction! If his feelings for you don't go deeper than that then you have an entirely different problem. But I am sure that's not the case. If you are happy and confident about your body, I am sure he is too! But if you do want to loose weight and get in better shape, do it for yourself, not him! Do what makes you happy!
