No sex drive...

Hi,

I have been with my boyfriend for 1 1/2yrs, and everything is going great. Well, except for my boyfriend's sex drive or should I say lack of. He tells me he has "issues" with sex, being brought up in a very christian family. He is 28 yrs old and I am 22. I am extremely happy with him except for this. I feel like I am being selfish for wanting to have sex, but I have to be honest with myself. Also, the lack of sex makes me feel extremely insecure and doubt his love for me. Please help! This is causing a huge problem and I don't know what to do...

We do need further info, however...

I know the feelings you're going through. My ex-husband had these same issues and even though the issues appeared before the marriage, I got married thinking they could be worked on. However, they can't be... sex is an important part of a relationship to me and if it's a problem in the beginning, it may be a problem later. Personally, I would not be with someone who I did not click on that level also but...

again, we need more info before we can answer properly.

Doesnt look like we are getting additional info but religious beliefs have nothing to do with you...certainly not anything to make YOU feel insecure about.
