My boyfriend doesn’t want to have sex with me

My husband has never been that into sex. He doesn't even enjoy oral. It has nothing to do with me, it's just the way he is-- it took a LONG time to understand it's just him and not a relationship problem (unless it's a problem for me). His brothers have low sex drive too. Also a messed up circumcision hurt his sensitivity, that didn't help. It's easier to masturbate than have intercourse for him.

But, listen when I come home from work I'm relieved to spend time with him & watch TV with him, we laugh a bunch, cut up, hardly ever fight... and I'm kinda relieved that I'm not being chased around by an annoying horny dick when I'm tired.. like quit touching me, lol. We're having our 22nd anniversary this year, our 2 children are adults now.

If you're a high sex drive person, he may not be a good match. But for my sex drive, it changed completely with having twin babies, working full-time, grocery shopping, homework, cleaning house, pets, etc etc .. it didn't matter as much.

Only you can answer if low sex drive is a deal breaker, I understand if it is. I think the wanting to feel desirable is hard to get past, it was for me. But it turned out fine for me, and there's no one else I want to be spending my time with, it's just easy and fun being with him. I don't want a life without him.

Good luck with your relationship, I wish you the best.
