30% Normal

Alright, so I've been with my boyfriend for over 2 years. We still love eachother, and tell eachother all the time. Problem is, we have little or no sex. I'm not sure why because when we first started dating we were constantly on eachother. It's not like it's not enjoyable, we just dont do it often. And when I say not often I mean every couple weeks. We still spend a good amount of time together, or we have a short conversation on the phone before we go to bed if we didn't see eachother that day. And here's the thing, when I try to initiate any kind of sex, his excuse is usually "I'm watching tv" or "not now". Another thing that really bugs me is that he doesn't like to KISS... its not that he won't, but he avoids this. I'm not sure if I just have terrible timing, or I'm missing something. Any suggestions?
Do you think it's normal?

Some guys are just like that. I need a guy who is affectionate though, but sometimes they are kind of hard to find. I would keep my eyes open though it is a possibility that he may be cheating on you.
A lot of guys may not be overly affectionate but there is something seriously wrong with a guy that knocks back sex on a regular basis. Are you sure hes not a closet homosexual
LOL. I think its normal for a guy to not want sex every night after being with someone for awhile. Try spicing up your sex life with some toys or new moves or something, buy a sex for dummies book or listen to that old lady on the radio that gives sex advice.
I agree, try different things and spice up the sex life. Try hot shower with fragrance oils, candle lights, sex toys etc. Make it exciting, both of you will like enjoy.
Being a male in the same situation! I had to seek treatment because I was addicted to sex! Sounds Strange? It's because I was interested in Porn on the computer, On the phone with other women, Cross-dresssing etc. I sought sexual gratification in so many ways it took away from the intimacy of my best friend, My wife! Open your eyes, your ears, be observant and/or just ask him! If you know him well enough, you'll know if he is being truthful! It ruined a 23 year marriage of mine! I now have new wife and I she is aware of my problem! It is an ongoing commitment to therapy! If I stop going, I will probably start up again!
we can talk straight as we will never meet, do you always do it the same old way? or do you try different ways? it could be a lot more interesting and exciting if you did it different ways and places.
I had to go back up and read the poster's name, because I thought that somehow, in my sleep perhaps, that I had written this !!!

My boyfriend and I have lived together for 7 years now. And for 5 years, he's really just gone flat - not affectionate, hardly any sex (once a week was a miracle, but two or three times a month was typical), barely spent any free time at home. He's not the type to cheat (no, I'm not blind), and was raised in a really unaffectionate family, so I blamed it on that. But I was still miserable. And a month ago, I finally snapped. I told him it was over, that I couldn't like that way anymore, because it hurt me to live every day thinking he didn't care (even if I knew in my heart that he did, it didn't feel like it).

Needless to say, he had a total breakdown - he cried ! I mean really bawled to where he couldn't even catch his breath. I felt so badly, because I've never seen him cry (or really show ANY emotion, to be honest). But he asked for a chance, and I said we could start over, date - you know. Not just live together like an old married couple. And shockingly he's improved dramtically. He brings me flowers at work (and I work 30 minutes from home), cleans the house, hugs and kisses me all the time, goes places with me and...drumroll please.... we have sex so much I can barely walk. I mean every single day, and most days 2 or 3 times. And HOT sex too, not just his typical roll on, get off, roll off and go to sleep stuff.

It's a Christmas miracle !

Needless to say, I can say that what's going on with you is fairly common - I'm a little concerned that it's happening after only a couple of years though, because boredom shouldn't really set in that quick.

Make your concerns known - tell him that you need certain things in a relationship, things that are normal and not extreme, and ask if he thinks he can do those things or not. If he doesn't think he can, they he's not willing to work at it. Cut your losses now !
hes just one of those guys who dont have that much urges for sex, hes more emocional guy
That's marriage material you have! You should be so lucky! He loves you for you and not just for the sex. Sex is just a feeling... Do you love him more or do you love the sex more? You can get sex anywhere. However, you can't have him anywhere. Consider yourself very fortunate! You have a wonderful guy! Just let it be for now. Let him make the move. ;)
I think hes cheating on you...:S nobody can refuse to sex so he might be gettin some behind your back watch out
cheating
he loves you and therefore doesnt want to give u his STI
I agree with this comment. Sex is fun, but having a meaningfull relationship because you love eachother is way more fun. Wow that was sensetive
Well, I don't know about the cheating. I've actually heard that someone who is cheating tries to have more sex with their significant other in order to assuage their feelings of guilt. I'm terrified that this will happen to me. Another question: Is it normal for a young guy to only be able to orgasm (have sex) once in a night? Because I sometimes want to do it more, but he usually can only do once.
Sweety,

Your so called man is either, A cheater, tried of you, gay, or on some kinda drugs. They are all bad. Run like hell and go get your world rocked!!! You are wasting your time with him. Real men cannot go to sleep next to a women they are attracted without trying something!!!
That is why we are called dogs. Your mans a pussycat.
Suggest you talk to him straight up about your needs and what is going on with him.
tes talk to him if he doesn't get it tell him that you want things to be how they were, a girl said that to me once and then i was back to her and me almost every night, in the end i loved it, but she moved to arizona, and me i'm in south fl
Sounds like married life. Maybe he's polishing the bishop to much.
Is he gay?
Maybe hes afraid? Fridgid.
Don't listen to that person. They have no idea what a meaningful relationship is anyway.
honestly.
that guys gay.
really gay.
how many times has he asked to take it up the pooper?
if the answer is more than one, he's most definitly gay
you're inmature.
Really inmature.
And a bit of retarded.
she's married to a man,that man is married to HER.
so how could you say that he's gay?
sick cunt.
when men ask for sex and woman reject it it's normal , but when it's the other way around a man must be cheating/drug addict/or frigid...
you asked for equal rights , there you have them , we can reject sex these days just because we don't feel like having sex , and yes , contrary to the popular belief , men aren't ALWAYS in the mood .

p.s. try spicing up your sex life by doing something u didn't wanna do before in bed, widen ur horisons
someone finally agrees with me. thank you
Try getting some proper hot lingrea like stockings, thong and corset or something like that and just walk into the room he is in a GET IT OFF :p !
