low sex drive

Let me start by saying we've been married for 17yrs ,I love my husband very much and always see him as being faithful to me.
We always had a pretty good sex life making love two to three times a week at least.
For the past yr it seems our sex life has gone down the drain ! Doing it maybe twice a month? And me being the initiator!
Is always seemed to me that the more sex we had the longer he would last before coming.. If we hadn't done it in say a week it would be a qucky!
So now that were only doing it about twice a month and he's lasting a while
Makes me worried that he might be fooling around on me? Or maybe just masterbating instead of coming to me for sex?
Either way its bothersome!!
Were turning 40 so I don't know if that comes into play for a mans libido?
Every other aspect of our life is good I still feel connected to my husband and we do spend our free time together as a family so what do you think?
Should I be this worried about his lack of sex drive  or what?

In everybody's life there is ebb and flow in sexual activity. There can be medical, physical or just moo fluctuating with reasons or without reasons. Monotony is also one of the factor. One can do some exercises to boost up sexual hunger. Google breathe to orgasm.  Simultaneous breathing, alternate breathing and circular breathing. This technique create new environment increasing libido and quality or orgasm. You can use kegel exercise and ask him to do it. (you can kegel each other alternatively.) It gives different sensation to your hubby and it allow to grip his penis in tight manner.There are many techniques to improve each sexual activity.Even using toys is quite okay.If you talk tactfully, ( he should not feel that you are pressurizing him), he can take up some improvement activity. Google the above words. one kegel or breath to orgasm.

Say What ?? Talk to him ..lol! Jk:)
Its just a tricky thing to talk about and not exactly sure how to brg it up with out insulting him or embarrassing him!
I also wonder if drinking could be a factor here or something medical like high blood pressure? Can't remember last time he actually went to a doctor for a check up?
