Sexual Anorexia?

Im 18 and I get aroused but hardly ever want to act on it. My partner gets aroused much more often than I and I, more often than not, say no even if she arouses me as well. We've been together two years and it's becoming frustrating to both of us. I'm not sure why I do it. I know that I always "don't feel like it." we participate in sexual activity roughly 4-5 times a week. There are just days when I absolutely don't want to do any sort of sexual activity. My partner has even went as far as to be nude and on top of me only for me to continue to say no. I can't help it, though. I just honestly have no true desire for sexual activity. Could this be a form of sexual anorexia? What should I do to help my relationship? Am I too young for sexual Health meds?

To be honest, we haven't had sex yet. We do other sexual things but never actual sex. Could that be the reason for my discomfort and disinterest? I'm just tired of the same ole?

When you have been with someone for a while sometimes things in the bedroom get monotonous and can cause disinterest. Doesn't mean you don't love or want to be with your partner sexually, just that you want something new and exciting in bed! Try different positions or role play. Experiment with toys or sex games. If you are just all together burned out there may be an underlying cause. Do you feel pressure to have sex? Do you feel less strongly about your partner? Is there another aspect of your relationship that you two are struggling with that may be connected to why you're feeling this way? Also make sure and check the side effects of any medications you might be on. Some medications especially anti-depressants have sexual side effects. Good luck!
