PASSION PITFALL

My boyfriend and I have had sex just six times in lockdown

DEAR DEIDRE: I THOUGHT lockdown would mean things got busier in the bedroom but my boyfriend and I have had sex just six times in the past four months.

We moved in together at the beginning of lockdown and I was really excited. We both work long hours and only really saw each other at weekends after I’d finished my shifts at the hotel where I work.

Our sex life was pretty good, though. We’d usually have sex every weekend.

I thought that we would have so much more time to be intimate with one another living together, but far from it. 

I’m 24 and my boyfriend is 26. We’ve been together for three years but I am beginning to think he only finds me attractive when he’s had a drink.

It’s driving me insane. I really want to bring it up with him but I am scared of his response.

How do I broach the subject without sounding confrontational?

DEIDRE SAYS: Maybe sharing a home is all about domesticity for him and switches him off feeling sexy. Saying nothing will only make you resent him more, so you have to speak up. Pick a moment away from the bedroom and say you are really missing the closeness and intimacy.

My e-leaflet on Reviving A Man’s Sex Drive can help but you shouldn’t stay in a relationship where you are afraid to say how you feel.
