My boyfriend likes to masturbate alone in the shower but won’t have sex with me
DEAR DEIDRE: MY boyfriend is never in the mood for sex but masturbates most days.
I’m female, we’re both 29 and have been dating for just over a year.
He’s too tired for sex but he masturbates – I’ve walked in on him doing so in the shower

At the start, we couldn’t keep our hands off each other. But I can count on one hand how many times we’ve had sex in the past three months.
He never initiates sex and rejects me every time I do. He always says he’s too tired.
But I know he masturbates. I’ve walked in on him doing so in the shower.

Is he not attracted to me anymore?
The constant rejection is really starting to get to me.

DEIDRE SAYS: Various things can affect our sex drive – stress, self-esteem, medication. But as your boyfriend is masturbating regularly, it suggests something else might be going on.
Talk to him and ask him what has changed in the last few months – and if there is something he would like to change in your relationship.
Watching a lot of porn can blunt any drive with a real-life partner. Explain that the lack of sex is affecting your self-esteem.
