I hope this is seen, as someone with a moderate sex drive (but health problems that make sex difficult at times) and a high drive partner (could go 5-7 times a week and still want more) it is hard telling my partner no day after day, especially since it is partially due to pain and while I can want to be physically intimate I have to say no because I know that it will cause me pain. Makes you feel like the bad guy even when your partner thinks they are being understanding. I sympathize with this guy, but I personally think he should give the sex schedule a try, or at ask that they try to be romantic and intentional on those days. I've scheduled sex before and made those days our movie nights and date nights and have been intentional to "not be like robots" and enjoy it.
