We no longer have sex, should I be worried?

My boyfriend has always had a high sex drive while we’ve been together (he’s lifestyle is poly).
Recently about 2months ago, his mom just passed away and it’s been very challenging with grief & getting back into the routine.

We haven’t had sex or a proper kiss for a few months now. We still cuddle and hold hands but thats about it.
is this something I should be worried about?

  • Maybe. You should consult a therapist (maybe he's depressed).

  • If the cuddling stops, then you should worry. I think you are fine for now though

  • "is this something I should be worried about?" Yes.

  • It's possible that he's seeking comfort from someone else. You did say he's poly. Talk to him about it

  • It's nothing personal , grief creates depression , which kills sex drive , even in young men.

  • And this bothers you why?

  • A bond between a mother and son is a powerful thing. Its only been a couple of months since his mother died. So would give him some more time but just keep an eye on him.

  • Does he seem , depressed, ? Any other noticable lifestyle changes? New clothes, new haircut, eating lunches out rather than packing? If yes to most of these, I'd be concerned, if not , he's more than likely mourning his Mother!
    Were they close?

  • He has not yet overcome his shock and grief. You don't have to be worried for not having sex. Time will heal his psychological wounds. Continue to have love talk, cuddling and holding of his hands. He will be back to his normal life soon.

  • Well u can make ur moves slowly if u want to make the connection stonger and decrease his feelings low

    Start with a hug and hikis start with friendly kisses slowly and mood him slowly and so you can go back to casual sex life /romantic life

  • With my new meds it is hard because my sex drive is near dead... Yet my boyfriend still pressures me into doing things I'm not in the mood for. It feels uncomfortable and makes me resent him so be careful

    • Your boyfriend should respect you & not pressure you if you told him.

    • I’m so sorry. I agree with Kitty46, he should respect you. Proud of you for staying strong ❤️

  • Sexless relationships, aren't relationships

    They're friendships, and you know it!

  • Talk, to each other see why you have drifted apart. It could be work family, not happy in bed. But you will not get it sorted with out talking. Not pointing the finger or getting angry, a good old heart to heart...

    • We actually gotten closer on every level except sexually have taken a back seat..

  • May be he is getting something from external source
    Or he is really tensed asked about all the problem y he is behaving like this
    Oor u have too become
    Hoty and naughty tonight
    May be u get ur man back

  • It is ok, it has just fallen off a little, it's still good, it's still good. Bit of superglue and she'll be alright. Umm oppps, huney my dick fell off again. Yes and I'd be worried too, dick should fall off should it?

  • Absolutely. Of course it's a legitimate way of coping with loss, but it might very well mean your days with him are numbered (especially if he's an immature cheater, oh sorry, I meant a child who can't commit, oh damn! Sorry! I meant "poly" 😆 ) which means he's getting it elsewhere, and then why would he even need you? Sorry, but that's the punishment you get for making such a stupid decision! (dating a "poly").

  • He should see a therapist.

  • People experience grief and handle adversity differently. Some people genuinely struggle with certain things. He still bonds with you, so give it time. Perhaps it will subside with time, the relative absence of a sex drive currently per the grief for his ma. It's a natural reaction, I'm sure. If symptoms deteriorate, however, I'm sure there will be a reason to be concerned.

  • Probably just part of his grieving process. That being said if it’s becoming a problem for you couples therapy could help a lot

  • The fuck like rabbits faze is gone and gone for good. It sucks but it's unavoidable
